LQI query doesn't show end devices in Z2M

Advice
1

Hello,

I’m running zigbee2mqtt with a ConBee II coordinator. Additionally, there are 4 IKEA routers (3 range extenders and a power outlet).

I want to view the Network map but have no success. I can see that zigbee2mqtt sends an LQI command to each non-end_device (routers and the coordinator) and each router responds with their connected peers and the LQI values. Additionally, the IKEA routers also list the end-devices which are connected to them. But the ConBee II Coordinator doesn’t list the end-devices and the Network map is incomplete.

Here is a graphical example:

And here is the debug log from zigbee2mqtt which shows what each router sends as a reply to the LQI query:

Is this the normal behavior of the ConBee II coordinator? Shouldn’t it list the end-devices in the LQI reply, too?

Hi,

We only provide support for deCONZ here. For any help with Z2M , i refer you to their help channels.

Kind regards,

Hi @Mimiix,

The LQI response by the ConBee II coordinator would be the same regardless if I run Z2M or deCONZ, wouldn’t it?

If I install deCONZ and request a network map, would I get the connected end-devices in the LQI response by the ConBee II coordinator?

I am seeing LQI on my network map for end devices:

deCONZ doesn’t provide LQI over REstAPI.

Nevertheless, it’s best to test yourself with deCONZ to see what your after.

Just for the record. I installed the latest firmware to my ConBee II device and now some of the end-devices connected to it are shown on the network map.

Ah i remember that there was an (and fix) later on for a Z2M issue. Perhaps this was indeed it. I was assuming you are on the latest version already.

Good to hear it’s fixed :slight_smile:
