I want to use an Aqara door sensor at the back of my garden, where my Zigbee mesh doesn’t reach. So I’m looking for a mains-powered Zigbee device I can put in the backyard that’ll act as a router/repeater.

I’m contemplating buying the [Ledvance Gardenpole lights](https://www.amazon.nl/LEDVANCE-LED-tuinverlichting-RGB-kleurverandering-compatibel-Compatibel/dp/B07MG5D2N7/) and was wondering whether anyone had experience with **these specific lights in combination with Aqara devices**.

I ask because Aqara devices are very fussy about what routers they’ll connect to. I found [this list](https://community.hubitat.com/t/xiaomi-aqara-devices-pairing-keeping-them-connected/623) with compatible devices, and while it does mention some Osram devices on both the “yes” and “no” lists, it doesn’t mention these particular lights.

It’s a longshot, but if anyone has these devices I’d love to hear your experiences with Aqara sensors **successfully** routing through the gardenpole lights.

(I say “successfully” because they’ll sometimes route through devices but still regularly drop out or have delayed responses. I had terrible experiences with motion sensors routing through an Innr plug that were solved the moment I replaced it with an Ikea Zigbee repeater, for instance.)
