Normally the recommendation is to use pics but here you can just use a slightly extended standard node.

usepackagetikz
usetikzlibraryshapes.geometric,calc
tikzsetrepeating shape/.style=regular polygon,regular polygon sides=#1,alias=curr,draw,append after command=
[draw,] foreach XX [remember=XX as YY (initially #1)]
in 1,...,#1
(curr.corner XX) -- (curr.center) -- ($(curr.corner YY)!0.5!(curr.corner
XX)$)
begindocument
beginfigure
begintikzpicture[scale=2]
draw[fill=gray] foreach X in 0,2.2 foreach Y in 0,2.2
(X,Y) node[repeating shape=6,minimum size=3cm] ;
