Zigbee smart light switch as router

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hey guys,

I installed some zigbee smart light switches, as I thought all switches/plugs with mains will act as repeaters (given that the switch always has power) but they don’t seem to do so.

I checked the visualizer, I can’t add devices from the switch node and all devices are connected to the coordinator.

Switch: https://www.amazon.ae/Winpossee-Switch-neutral-Button-Control/dp/B0951V1895?ref_=d6k_applink_bb_dls_failed

Am I doing something wrong or these switches don’t act as repeaters.
I’m using Nortec dongle + ZHA.

Appreciate your feedback guys.

Many “no neutral” switches aren’t routers. Sadly there’s no definitive list since manufacturer are free to do what they want.

What a letdown.

Thank you.
