Troubleshooting Zigbee Repeater Functionality

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to seek some advice regarding my Zigbee repeaters. I recently purchased a set of USB-powered Zigbee repeaters to enhance the coverage in my smart home setup. The installation process was straightforward—simply plugging them into available USB sockets and pairing them as instructed. However, I’m now wondering if these repeaters are functioning as intended.

I’ve noticed that while my devices seem to be connecting without issues, I’m curious about the repeaters’ activity. Is there a way to monitor their performance or confirm that they’re actively relaying signals? I’m using Home Assistant, so I’m hoping there’s a built-in method or a plugin that can provide insights into the repeaters’ operations.

I’ve tried searching through the Home Assistant documentation and community forums, but I haven’t found a clear solution yet. Some users have mentioned using network monitoring tools, but I’m not sure how applicable those are to Zigbee repeaters specifically.

If anyone has experience with monitoring Zigbee repeaters or can suggest a reliable method to check their functionality, I’d greatly appreciate your guidance. Ensuring that my smart home devices are operating efficiently is important to me, and I want to make sure these repeaters are contributing effectively to my network’s reliability.

Thank you in advance for your help and insights!
