Zigbee2mqtt and zigbee-repeater

Hi,

I need to extend my zigbee2mqtt installation (Raspbian) to have a more stable connection for Aqara Temp Sensor which are too far away from the Zigbee USB Connector.

  1. Can I use the Smart Plug E2 as Repeater?
  2. Do I need to pair the repeater to Zigbee2mqtt or would it work just as “Plug an Play” if I do not need to remote control the Plug?

Best Regards,
Johannes

  1. Likely
  2. Surely

oh damn.

The Plug is not recognized by zigbee2mqtt because its an older version. Tried to upgrade it, but then I also needed to upgrade node and after installing node20 nothing worked anymore and I reverted back to node12 to get everyting working again.

So either I move to a new RPi with a fresh installation or I need to dig into it when I have more time :frowning:

The magic word is “docker” :wink:
No more dependency hell…
