REST-API for network-map

Maj0r11 · August 3, 2021, 11:56am

Please extend the REST-API to provide the list of connections between each device to give the users the opportunity to create a network map on their own.
deconz-gui is not a web-application and therefore not really usable on iPads and such devices.
With a headless raspberry it’s a pain to use deconz-gui over vnc .
The iobroker-zigbee-adapter shows such a map directly in the browser. I do not know which graph-api the zigbee-adapter-developers use, I would try highcharts.
This could be the 1st iteration, further more I recommend to provide ALL device information shown in deconz-gui by REST-API.

As mentioned on Discord, there’s a few PR’s already trying to implement this:

Add endpoint to expose networkmap datas. Main js network graph library seems …to work based on nodes and links(or edges), so I did a endpoint exposing those datas. Here is a screenshot of what the map could look like when being integrated ![NetworkMap](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/55793274/111695614-96d23400-8833-11eb-8700-0333a72e2610.png) (N.B.: lqi are shown on links when zooming) You can find a demo JSON generated by the api **[here](https://api.npoint.io/3a6eba34e775951d3b6d)** and a jsfiddle using those datas **[here](https://jsfiddle.net/b86wdu10/1/)**

Hi, I created a new endpoint for the REST API that delivers the current network… map (using Node::neighbors()) in the DOT language (similar to what Zigbee2MQTT can do). This graph representation can be easily converted to an image using [graphviz](https://graphviz.org/), for example by passing it directly to dot, circo, etc. I also added some GET-parameters, that allow the user to change some colors. Example: $ curl http://192.168.178.49:8080/api/<API_KEY>/map | circo -Gratio=0.56 -Tsvg -o map.svg leads for my zigbee network to ![map](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/35545661/104060599-6c427a00-51f7-11eb-8be7-7d285cb7fa39.png)

Not sure why they aren’t merged yet. Perhaps a @de_employees can give info on that
