#Can't add the IKEA Tradfri Signal Repeater

I have a spotty connection to an irrigation valve (direct connection from the coordinator (SkyConnect) so I thought I'll add an Ikea tradfri signal repeater in between the signal path. However I can't seem to add this. There's only a small pinhole that makes the LED blink slowly when I press it for 5+ secs. I use the 'Add device' function in the ZHA integration, press the pairing button on the Ikea repeater and get some messages in the log (see below) but nothing else happens

After the above the search times out. btw I have tried to add this signal repeater at its target location (about 3m from the coordinator) and then closer (about 1m) with the same result

On a separate note when I look at the visualisation the connection between the coordinator and the irrigation valve has an LQI of 91 but is red.

I also have a ZigBee based RGB LED but that connection shows 95/21. What does that mean?
