I am looking to order a https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zigbee-Outlet-Monitoring-Function-Required/dp/B0CS6L6XQS and I want to place it in a position it will act as both a repeater and both a useful plug. The listing doesn't mention that it repeats at all. Is that a given or not always?

Most mains powered devices act as routers.

Most mains powered devices act as routers.
Is there a good way to tell?
heavy magnet
Not that I know of.
copper mason
Not even when I have it connected?
heavy magnet
Then yes but I'm not sure how it's shown with ZHA.

I'm actually in the process of switching to Z2MQTT because one of my sensors won't work with ZHA< and I only have like 3 devices
heavy magnet
With Z2M there's a Device type column in the About tab for the device.
Since this is tuya I'm pretty sure it will act as router though.

Am I right in understanding I can ignore "tuya" as long as it is Zigbee?
heavy magnet
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
copper mason
Well Tuya is a whole chinese automation platform right?
heavy magnet
They do all kinds of things but they also have WiFi and Zigbee hardware. You don't have to use their software/platform with zigbee devices if that's what you mean.
