Signal strength

[Calgaryx]

Hi there
I have Hubitat c-8 pro US version.
I have a three Aqara water leak sensor
Also i have Aqara Door/windows contact sensor.
Also i have THIRDREALITY Zigbee Smart Garage Door Tilt Sensor and Aeotec ZW164 Z-Wave Siren 6.
They all work well.
All of them are on my main floor house.
I am thinking to move my Hubitat Elevation hub to basement.
Is it possible to see signal strength in Hubitat hub.
I just want to make sure they do not loose signal strength after i move hub to basement.

Thanks

Z-Wave signal values can be read in Home > Settings > Z-wave

Zigbee does not show signal strength, although there might be an add on for that but I don't know

The colors on the zigbee map app show signal strength

If is green does it mean devices have a good strength?

Thanks

This is the one I was referring to.

[RELEASE] Zigbee Map app

This application allows you to visualize the topology and connectivity of your Zigbee network. [zigbee-map] How it works Each Zigbee device keeps a list of other devices that are within direct radio range. This list is called the Neighbors Table. Each Zigbee device also keeps a list of devices that are connected to it as children. This list is called the Child Table. The Neighbors Table and the Child Table help the device to discover and maintain routes to other devices on the Zigbee network…

The stock zigbee map does not show signal strength.

The community "Zigbee Map" app does indicate relative signal strength, but I wouldn't rely on it for any big decisions. The zigbee devices I have out in my detached garage all show "Bad" signal connections in that map, but they've all been performing flawlessly out there for years now.

The best thing you can do for your mesh (especially zigbee) is make sure you have repeaters well-positioned to help the battery-powered devices.

For both zigbee and z-wave, any mains-powered device will act as a repeater for its respecive mesh. Exceptions are some zigbee bulbs, and any z-wave device paired LR (as LR devices do not particpiate in any way in a z-wave mesh).

I do not see Hubitat Package Manager in apps in Hubitast.
Also i could not find in Install build app.
Thanks

Hubitat Package Manager (HPM) is a community-developed app designed to aid in accessing and managing other community-developed apps (and drivers).

The native zigbee map is accessed from the Zigbee Details page (which you access from your hub's Settings page).

Great.
Thank you

Depending on how deep you want to go - the Digi Xbee3 router with xbee network assistant can give some really valuable info on device strength.
