Zigbee extender - would these work?

Those would need a lot of work and you’d have buy a power source and case as well, so not a good choice.

FAQ: Zigbee Application Profiles, or why not all zigbee devices work with SmartThings

Zigbee is always zigbee, but the standard allows for different "profiles,"including manufacturer proprietary ones. [image] These are not all able to communicate with each other, they don’t even use the same addressing schemes. SmartThings uses the Zigbee Home Automation profile (ZHA 1.2) and part of the Zigbee 3.0 profile. Devices using other zigbee profiles may be able to join to the network, but their communications may not be understood, or they may frequently drop off because they don’t receive a handshake message they are expecting. There a lot of different ways to explain this, but I think one of the easiest is to think of zigbee as a post office and the different profiles as different languages. The outside envelope for different messages may look similar, have a specific format…

A much easier and likely less expensive choice is just to get the IKEA Tradfri plug in pocketsocket. When purchased directly from
IKEA it is only £10 , works out of the box with SmartThings, can also be used as a smart socket, and has the requisite residential safety certifications.

And it’s a very reliable zigbee repeater for the protocols that SmartThings uses, including for Xioami sensors.
