Low cost Zigbee GU10s via Ikea (UK) (www.ikea.com)

For those of you in the UK, IKEA currently has a steep discount on their GU10 bulbs. I've just picked up several dimmable, colour temperature controlled bulbs for £5 each.

They play nicely with HA via a sonoff dongle and ZigBee2MQTT, even down to firmware updates.

Ikea makes some of the best smart home stuff IMO. Really well built, decently priced and no stupid lock in or cloud only stuff.

Every single bulb in my home is from IKEA and i was really happy with how easily they are to be integrated.

Sadly they aren't repeaters for the regular zigbee network, only for other IKEA devices.

They definitely are repeaters. I had issues with a Moe's ZigBee dimmer. It turned out it was relaying off of an IKEA bulb. When that lamp got turned off at the switch, it killed the link. I ended up using a smart plug as a repeater.

Anyway to check this via the HA dashboard?
