How can I easily see the mesh network for Z-Wave and Zigbee to spot weak/broken connections? I try to extend the networks in my fairly large house, but I have no control on where the signal gets weak or ustable. Is there a tool I can run to spesifically see how good the signal is on the nodes/network or do I just need to put devices around the house or buy enough of them to make the mesh work properly all over the house?

the map of z-wave devices isn’t currently working. it was mentioned in a different thread yesterday. It is also likely that in requesting the map/topology that the z-wave will have crashed and devices wont work until you pull the plug on homey and restart it.

I believe that the ‘map’ was actually removed, on purpose by emile. I’m sorry I don’t know how to help you further other then showing you where the table is which easily shows each device, along with its mesh network and exactly the connections, what has been sent, received and error. ie. weak/broken spots. Further more it allows you to send node information, raw information and log. Hopefully once support have fixed your issue you will have everything you need.

The ‘route’ column displays after some waiting/reloading of the page the route all zigbee devices create. Zigbee devices with type ‘router’ can act as a mesh node, while other ‘end device’ type zigbee nodes can only make connections. [afbeelding]

Thanks for the info, hwin! How can I know if a product is routable? Is it a spesific word that is on the box or on the spesifications for the device? For instance, is the Innr ZigBee mini plug routable? According to Homey, all my 9 ZigBee lamps and plugs go directly from Homey which seems unlikely as one plug is at least 30 meters away and one level below through a thick glass door, concrete floor and several log walls.

Ah, all right. Thanks again! Seems like all Innr plugs and Ikea bulbs are routers. I guess most devices are then. However, somehow the developer.athom tool isn’t working or it just doesnt want to route in my house. This is how it looks like at my place: [ZigBee] No routing whatsoever. How can I fix that as the plugs with lights furthest away sometimes respons after 5-6 seconds and sometimes after half a second?

Looking at my overview it seems that the routers don’t form any mesh network at all. Its just the EndDevices that route their data via a Router type zigbee device: [afbeelding] So it seems that homey is not very efficient at forming a mesh network with these zigbee devices. No clue how to influence this. Anybody else any ideas?

[image] hwin: Anybody else any ideas? U have problems with ur devices (besidesthe E14 bulb) like they are out of reach or something?

Yes, they are unstable. Sometimes they don’t work. Wait 10 minutes and you get a respons within 3-5 seconds. Try 30 minutes later and 0,2 seconds respons. Try again 10 minutes later, and the devices is unresponsive.

have a look at the column ‘type’:
