Can more expensive hardware make Zigbee better?

@bobbyD - great post, thank you!

Being able to visualize z-wave network details with the new stack in the C-7 has gone a long way in allowing end users to create strong/stable z-wave mesh networks.

It would be good if in future hub iterations, the zigbee mesh got the same love. getChildAndRouteInfo is useful, but only captures a small time-slice and is limited to end-devices and routers directly connected to Hubitat.

Same with zigbee logging. It is useful, but is only one component in the whole mix.

Many of us have xbee3s connected to our Hubitat zigbee mesh as routers and also as diagnostic tools - the amount of information they provide is similar to what the platform already makes available for z-wave meshes.
