Zigbee repeater from LivingWise

Devices & Integrations

Hi, I like to know if this ZigBee Smart Outlet and this Smart In-Wall ON/OFF Switch can be use as a ZigBee repeater? Is there device handle available for those devices? Any UL certification or any certification? Thanks

That’s a rebranded orvibo device. You will need to use the Orvibo device type handlers.

However, at least one community member reported problems with them

Hi,
I’ve got a couple of “LivingWise Smart Outlets” hoping the will integrate with smartthing smoothly, but it seems I DO need a specific device handler. I just wondering if anyone knows where I can get the device handler for the Smart Outlet.

Thanks!

I got this sort out without any Custom Device Handler!

Hereafter is how I added:

  1. Add the device as a normal one
  • Put ST into scanning mode, press the button on the device (this may take a couple of attempts) until you succeed adding the device.
  1. The device will be recognized as a “Thing” type (mentioning something like “please wait”)… whatever, go to the next step
  2. Go to the ‘graph’ interface
  • look for the device you just added
  • Click “Edit”
  • Change the type to “Zigbee Switch”
  • Click “Update”
  1. DONE

Hope this is helpful :slight_smile:

I know it’s an ancient thread, but for those still having and not throwing away some LivingWise devices, it looks like the DiegoAntonino method works pretty smoothly now, at least it did for my LVS-ZB15R outlets.

As he said, just open SmartThings app, tap the “+” sign, choose “Add device” and tap the “Scan nearby” button. My outlet was already in paring mode (blinking blue LED) because was plugged the first time, and a few seconds later ST found it as a smart switch and added it to the same room as my ST hub ver. 3 I have. And it was about 30 ft. away with few walls in between.

Thanks a lot, Diego.
