Enhance Zigbee Network Graph - embed Signal Strength inference in connecting "line type"?

[PunchCardPgmr]

Not sure if this has been brought up before but I don't see it has.

Wondering if it might be reasonable and not too onerous to apply a link quality in the existing colored lines connecting devices in this display. Some Signal Strength cutoffs based on prevailing opinion could be used to surmise the cutoff thresholds for say, three levels?.

This could be a useful add to the graphic to further understand your mesh and where it could be strengthened and/or where there are intermittent communications problems.

It seem this should be cumulatively assessed over some duration of time that is longer than the 5 second update cycle...but maybe not...I haven't thought this through.

For example:

Connection Quality

Good = Solid line (as currently used)
Adequate = Dash Dot
Poor = Dash Dot Dot

Maybe you haven't seen this newer community Zigbee map?

[RELEASE] Zigbee Map app

This application allows you to visualize the topology and connectivity of your Zigbee network. Important: The app requires at least Platform Version 2.3.8.117 since it uses a functionality released with this version! Use at least version 1.9.2 of Hubitat Package Manager (HPM) to install the app. Older versions sometimes fail to correctly add the zigbee-map.html file in the File Manager.

Yeah, that's probably been subliminally floating around in my head.

Thanks for the reminder. Age old question, where should this stuff be...in the core toolkit or the Community adds.

where should this stuff be...in the core toolkit or the Community adds.

I tend to look at it as a 98% v 2% issue. The core should address at least 98% of the target population’s need, the last 2% is where the community may want to step in.
