Is it possible to use the SONOFF Dongle as a signal repeater in the ZigBee network, with the NSPanel Pro being the main coordinator of the network? How would it be paired in eWeLink?

I’m also trying to achieve that, but the NSPanel Pro simply doesn’t find the Dongle as a device/router (not sure if it’s supposed to) nor I see any improvement in my ZB network (neither the NSPanel Pro nor the eWeLink app has Zigbee Map to verify that).. 😕 Is there ANY way to confirm if the dongle even pairs with the panel?

Sonoff should allow the NSPanel Pro firmware installation in the dongle.

I also have dongle e with Router FW flashed, but NSPanel PRO does not find it, it can’t be paired. Is there any news on this topic, did someone manage to get it working ?

tnx.
