I have ConBee II and I bought this repeater:
How can I ilcude it? It is not discovering automatically.
Which zigbee integration do you use?
ZHA, the default one and not mqtt2zigbee
To get this repeater into pairing mode you have to very quickly plug/unplug it 3 times. After the third time, plug in the repeater right away, and the LED light should start rapidly blinking. When the light is blinking, you’re in pairing mode and should be able to add it through ZHA.
I have 4 of these connected to ZHA through my Conbee II stick. Make sure you’ve updated the firmware on your Conbee II, old firmware gave me all kinds of issues. The most recent one from August 2021 seems to be giving me 255 LQI on each of the 100 devices on my network.

FYI, that Tuya Zigbee Router USB adapter is not recommended by ZHA / zigpy developers as apparently it has proven to cause network stability issues, and assume it applies not only to ZHA but all solutions:
