Zigbee plugs with periodically flashing lights

I have two of these zigbee plugs that I'm using as repeaters. The power button is red when the outlet is on and blue when it's off. I usually leave them off as they are not in use except as repeaters. At least once per day, the power button starts flashing slowly. If I physically turn the power button on, then it flashes red. If I use Hubitat to turn the plug on and then off, the flashing stops and the color is solid. Note that HE sees the plugs just fine. They aren't disconnecting. Checking the zigbee routing shows they are still acting as repeaters.

Does anyone know what this means? I can't find any documentation online, and the little booklet that came with them does not mention the lights at all except for pairing mode.

I've set up an RM rule to turn them off and on a couple of times/day because the flashing is really annoying. But this seems stupid. I don't have any other outlets that need this. I like these because they're small and relatively inexpensive. But...

I just covered mine with black tape. I'd get up in the morning and it would look like a disco.

Same issue here. Did you get it fixed? I have had them two days and two mornings I have woke up to flashing lights.

Can you post the device model and manufacturer data, as seen on the web page ‘Device Details’ section?

With a lot of Zigbee plugs, LED flashing is a sign of network reconnection…

I have the same problem, flashing Zigbee plug. Also using as a repeater.

Yes. I covered the light with black tape. :wink:
