Mesh analyzer solving a lot of issues

[haas]

I recently added functionality to the MonaLisa Zigbee board ($20) to let you probe all the mesh connections too. So you don't need an (expensive!) xbee anymore.

Thingshield replacement for arduino over zigbee now available for hubitat

In case anyone is bored today, new firmware for MonaLisa lets you get a map of your zigbee mesh! Well, sort of. It has a new command that will print out over serial the neighbors and connection strengths to each neighbor for a given node. But it would just be a matter of a few hours for a motivated individual with the right python skills to start at the hub and then iterate through the whole mesh, gathering up the info, and drawing it with graphviz! Details have been added to the "guide".

But I agree it would be awesome to have this integrated in the hub, but wouldn't even know where to start with that. For starters, the hub zigbee firmware would have to know how to issue the relevant management LQI request commands and then parse the received management LQI responses. This is non trivial, and what has been added to the MonaLisa firmware.
