so, I have a small Zigbee network that has about 27 devices, of which 24 are routers and 3 are sleepy end devices, keen to secure a robust network, ive found it hard to use the visualisation network map, its not easy to see what is doing well and not so well. So I enabled all the RSSI and LQI entities and put them all on a dashboard, so I could get some idea of how they are coping, I’m getting mixed opinions if enabling all these entities is a good idea or a risk, but my system doesnt seemed to have slowed down to any extent and I can now identify the devices I need to move or otherwise help. Whats your thoughts ?
I like it. Also curious as to how it might effect mesh reliability and throughput.
I struggle with the same issues. The mesh visualization with ZHA is technologically very cool, but not very intuitive. I never did figure out what all the colors and numbers mean. And the network map bears no resemblance to where the devices actually are in spatial dimensions.
I do use a ZHA custom network card, but again it’s informative but hard to interpret.
