[HOW-TO][Pro][Cloud] - Zigbee Route map (Homey Pro 2016 - 2019 / Homey Bridge)

[robertklep]

I don’t have a very high opinion on Homey’s Zigbee in general

[Harrr]

you have no clue?

const main = async function () {
  console.log("Starting main function...");

  const zigbeeUpdate = await Homey.zigbee.runCommand({command: 'UPDATE_NODES'});
  const data = await Homey.zigbee.getState();
  const homeyID = data.controllerState.panId;

  let nodes = Object.values(data.nodes).map((node) => ({
    name: node.name,
    group: node.type.toLowerCase(),
    id: node.nwkAddr,
  }));
  const edges = [];

  nodes = [{ name: "Homey", id: homeyID, group: 'coordinator' }, ...nodes];

  if (data.controllerState && !data.controllerState.routes) {
    return "No data found. Currently only Homey Pro (2016-2019) supported";
  } else {
    for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(data.controllerState.routes)) {
      if (typeof value === "string") {
        edges.push({ from: parseInt(value), to: parseInt(key) });
      } else if (Array.isArray(value) && value.length > 0) {
        if (nodes.some((n) => n.id === parseInt(value[0]))) {
          edges.push({ from: parseInt(value[0]), to: parseInt(key) });

    const nodeIds = nodes.map((n) => n.id);
    const edgeIds = [...edges.map((e) => e.to), ...edges.map((e) => e.from)];

    nodeIds.forEach((id) => {
      if (!edgeIds.includes(id)) {
        edges.push({ from: homeyID, to: id });
      }
    });

    const buf = window
      .btoa(JSON.stringify({ nodes, edges }))
      .toString("base64");

  }
};

I just discovered that the map does not correspond with the table in homey developers tools.
This afternoon i have switched on a router that has another position in the structure

Greetz,
Harrr

[Peter_Kawa]

Harr, the table shows the last known route (it’s mentioned there)
And you now know it can change at any moment.

[Harrr]

thanks

[martijnpoppen]

@Harrr

Can you make the drawing a little more in a landscape shape, to get a lager image on the pc-screen?

I checked, but with the current graph library that’s not possible. Will investigate if another library would be easier

[martijnpoppen]

@robertklep

I don’t see any redundant connections between routers, which means the old Homey’s are using a suboptimal topology (cluster tree instead of mesh).

@robertklep saw this message and did some tinkering with the map.

seems like some enddevices have double routes.
Do you know if that’s possible? or is it like a backup route?

@Sharkys and I think you would know this

Circle=router
Square=enddevice

[robertklep]

@martijnpoppen

Do you know if that’s possible?

It’s possible that multiple routers think that a particular end device is one of their children, but an end device can only have one parent (there’s a protocol in place with which routers can resolve conflicts about end devices).

[martijnpoppen]

Thanks! then the zigbee network in Homey is just as you said: a Cluster tree

[Harrr]

I just discovered that I can move the nodes in the route map…
Not in groups but one at the time

[robertklep]

I hope you don’t think that means you’re modifying the actual routing

[Harrr]

No no,
I am monitoring that map regularly to see how it adapts.
The @martijnpoppen maps are an ideal way of storing the data and analyzing the changes.

[martijnpoppen]

@Harrr correct, that’s default behaviour of the plugin. Sometimes the nodes are rendered on top of each other, the move feature helps a bit with that

[dambeh21]

Hi,

Do you have any update about the implementation of Zigbee map for Homey Pro 2023 ?
Did someone find an other way to do it ?
Thanks

[martijnpoppen]

@dambeh21 not possible
Athom didn’t add the routes for the HP23

[Dennis_Schonherr]

Hi, is it possible to get the script for the Homey 2026? I’m having problems with four Aqara contact sensors and I’m at my wit’s end. When I run the script, I get the following message: “No data found. Currently only Homey Pro (2016-2019) supported.”

[martijnpoppen]

@Dennis_Schonherr Hi!
No for the newer Homey’s this is not possible as Athom removed the route overview from Homey Developer Tools

[Dennis_Schonherr]

Hey, thanks for your quick feedback. Why is Athom removing such useful features? Shouldn’t the aim be to improve and expand analytics?

[martijnpoppen]

Because the routing was not reliable information.

[Sharkys]

Maybe correction here Martijn - I think they removed it because they have difficulties to show it as “3D mesh” while showing “2D mesh” only.

Unverified So it was reliable but always showing something different and people creating issues based on it, so they rather fully removed it to stop complaints. Even it’s speculation here, I would bet it was like that.

But maybe they can leverage your work to re-implement it

Btw, FYI only Zigbee2MQTT implemented in recent changes also interesting views relying on external viewers (https://www.planttext.com/, Graphviz Online )…
