Paulmann lights not relaying

Hardware
1

Inhave three Paulmann lights in a row, each further from HA. The first two are in range but the 3rd is intermittent. I was expecting the first two to act as relays but that doesnt appear to be the case. I can see from tbe visualisation that they all talk directly. What am i missing here? I thought the zigbee networl self configured?

This is one of the bulbs

Hello Rich,

Some lights are routing devices, some are not.
Also if you cut the power to devices, that messes up the mesh, so make sure they are always powered, but the light turned off internally.

If you look at the mesh visualization you can see if these are routing devices or end devices.

Thank you.

I’ve ensuree they are always on and they claim to be routers
