I figured I would create a thread for everything Xbee related. You can display Xbee zigbee network scans as a graph like this [Xbee%20graph] or a table like this [Xbee%20table] These are great little devices to use as routers to extend your network and for mapping out your zigbee network.

That won't give you all the information you want necessarily and it's always just a point in time so each time you refresh that endpoint you can get different information. IIRC, if a device is routing through two other devices then you won't see it in the data.

Also on the C8 the child information section is known to be inaccurate.
