[Request] Device Graph Zigbee Enhancement

My zigbee graph page currently shows 54 of 62 devices, and I'm attempting to determine which devices are missing from the graph.

Currently the only way I've found to determine the missing devices is to place the cursor over each device in the graph, this displays the 16 bit address, then mark it in a copy of the Zigbee Details device listing. With many devices and a possible constantly changing graph this is rather tedious.

Please add a list of missing devices on the graph, or if easier add a column to the zigbee device list with the timestamp of the last device graph add or update.

(I'm on a C4, so perhaps something like this is available on the C7 or C8.)

If you leave it open for 24 hours it should fully populate as those device report in. (even offline ones will eventually show)

Now as to see what devices are dropped off the mesh, look at your zigbee details page. Sort by MSGS column. Pretty much any one with 0 in the column is offline.

Is this available on a C4?

Yes

Yes it's available. However, none of the devices are zero. I've had the graph running for about 12 hours, and the last message time is less that 12 hours for all the devices in the list.

Let it run a full 24

I've gotten N/A's. Would that be at the top or bottom of the MSGs sort?

That's my choice for now, but it still may not show all devices, hence my request for a list of missing devices or something similar.

After 24 hours it showed all mine including the off line ones.. There shouldn't be a difference with the c4

In an earlier internal version of this we showed the non-reporting devices in the graph. But it really crapped it up, so we took it out. Since they haven't reported, we don't know where to put them.

If you sort the table on Last Message, the non-reporting ones will be at the top (or bottom) of the list. The graph tells you how many there are.

For the OP, the N/A's might not be at the low end of the msgs sort, but the high. I'm just saying be sure to look there as well.

I use the forum as an auxiliary brain.
The N/A's were at the new end of the last message sort.

I'm now well over 24 hours into the zigbee graph, and the count remains 54/62. Beyond that the graph shows the hub way over the over 32 directly attached devices, something that in theory can't happen, and there are no N/As in the zigbee list.

I suspect part of the issue is missing garage repeaters that connect to another repeater, but that would account for only two devices.

While I currently am a fan of the radial design, even I might think you have a tad too many devices hanging off your hub. Maybe reaching the max of 32 is a factor?

I agree, assuming the graph is accurate. However, I have some distant from the hub repeaters in the garage not showing on the graph, and there are no issues (afaik) with devices not reporting or responding, including the mailbox contact about 80 ft from the hub showing as directly connected to the hub going through some cinder block and concrete walls.

I agree in most cases the N/A devices are those that are missing, this does not work for me.

I was surprised to see how many of my devices connected directly instead of through a router. By the same token, I was surprised at some that are close to the hub that instead connect through a router that is much further away.

Here is a strange one. My graph is showing "Discovered devices: 43/42" How can I have more show up than are on that hub?

Per Donald Rumsfeld
There are known knowns; things we know we know that we know.

There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things we now know we don't know.

But there are also unknown unknowns - there are things we do not know we don't know.

:rofl:

Seriously now: What is the difference between "child" and "neighbor?"
A lot of the apparent direct connections between end devices and the hub are listed as "tentative." Some have the "tentative" link, but also show that they are routed through one of the repeater capable devices.
The Eria LR 1 is a battery operated device but it is showing as a repeater. It is the same type device as the Eria LR 2 and the Eria MBR which show as green dots. That is strange.

Would it be possible to implement the same approach as the original zigbee graph app? (I find this very useful - can see what's missing without having to go anyplace else.

Just a suggestion...
