Zigbee plug (Centralite) routing for itself?

Have an interesting report from the Zigbee child and route info URL:

I don't remember ever seeing a device routing itself. I just reset and re-joined it as it wasn't reporting reliably. Is this just a short-term reporting issue due to the reset?

That's usually what you will see when the destination is to a router which is also a neighbor; the first hop repeater is also the destination.

Thanks - that's good to know. So it has a direct route.

I see this with almost all my XBEE's, first hop is almost always itself, and they register as "high ram concentrator" or something like that, whatever the heck that means

That means the Xbee has enough memory to store source routes for the network. So a remote node needs to send a route record only once.

Low RAM means the concentrator cannot store route records, so they need to be re-sent each time.

You want your zigbee routers be high RAM concentrators.

Where does this appear?

In the Zigbee stats URL

This is an older one, because my XBEEs are being bad boys currently:

All of mine say "none" so once again I lose. Why can't I win just once... :wink:
