I have deleted all Things (5 ST door sensors, 2 ST motion detectors, 1 ST outlet, 1 Philips iQ bulb, 1 ST water sensor, plus the GE Z-Wave wall switch, and a Z-wave siren.) It’s my understanding that the Zigbee powered items are the repeaters and I need to add them first. The Philips iQ Bulb is in …

Generally speaking yes… if it’s plugged in or wired into house power, it’s typically a repeater. Order doesn’t really matter all that much. It’s probably a good idea to work out from the hub… that is, install the closest devices first, then add the more further away ones later. But again, that’s …

@KnittingFits Zigbee repeats Zigbee and Zwave repeats Zwave, not each other. I doubt the bulb is a repeater, but I don’t have one to confirm. Here’s what I did that helped a lot: Regardless if you have a Zigbee or Zwave device, start with either one that uses your house’s power and include it cl…

That’s what husband and I I tossed back and forth…would it be a repeater because it shuts off. However, SOMETHING must stay on all the time or it wouldn’t respond when we tell Alexa to turn it on. That’s what’s stumping me on this one. Also, we never use the physical lamp switch to turn it off…on…

Your logic is sound, and it does stay on like the GE and Cree, but just enough to listen for commands. Devices that repeat have more to them and constantly draw power even when off (that’s why you see many switches with air gap switches to completely power them down), and because of that are more r…
