New ZHA Virtualization, looks great but less featured?

Super surprised to see this after it not being mentioned in the 2025.06 change logs, but here it is.

The big plus is it’s not bugging out all the time after selecting/zooming in on a device.

I would like to offer some feedback:

  • The router/coordinator/end device colours are a bit too similar, esp router/coordinator
  • What’s up with the lines? There’s no legend for them.
    • We have solid lines, dashed lines, thin and thick version of both. There doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason
    • I have 255 LQI solid and dashed lines. Plus grey lines aren’t just for offline devices… idk.
    • I much preferred the colour lines based on LQI
    • can an option be added to restore the LQI overlay on top of the lines?
  • the only way to see the dedicated links to a specific device is to mouse over it, clicking it doesn’t “lock” that view in, which is annoying since you need to then mouse over each connection to see the LQI and loose sight of the dedicated links for the device you’re interested in.

Overall I would say the rendering engine for this is absolutely better, but I’m finding it a bit less informative than previously.

edit Just noticed that ESH had a blurb on this in his 2025.06 overview video. Seems this was designed for Bluetooth and they applied to ZHA as well for consistency. I would imagine some of my criticism would also apply to BT, but I’m not using BT to poke around.

100% agree with this. The use of blue, blue/green and slightly green/blue is a bizarre choice given the number of other colours that could be used.
