I was having zigbee device dropping issues and I've been looking at the zbt-2. I was hesitating due to the price. I went to take another search this evening and there's one listed at a huge discount. I'm not going to post the link here as I'm unsure of the rules, but it's easy to find on Amazon.ca.

I'm certainly no expert, but are you talking about features available in Zigbee2MQTT? I can't find anything like this using ZHA.

Nope, zha. Tap on Settings, then tap Zigbee, then tap Devices, and then tap a repeater. Next to the button that says Reconfigure, is a 3.Vertical menu. And if you tap on that 3.Vertical menu, there's an option that says Add Devices via this device.

Thanks kind stranger! Was not aware of this.

Yeah, it's pretty well hidden. I wasn't aware of it for the longest time either, and just happened to stumble across it myself.
