Z-wave power level reporting

[jensc]

Domoticz has never, in my experience, reported Z-wave device signal levels. This would be useful for locating places to put repeaters for improved coverage. The reference design for the Sigma chips has this but it's not seen in the app. The device list has a column for it next to remaining battery power but I've never seen it populated. I'm using all Gen 5 hardware. I've never seen any cryptic variable returned from any device that might be that data so perhaps Sigma has yet to offer it.

Is this a bug or an unimplemented "feature"?

I think you have to ask this on the openzwave forum
Battery power is of course reported, but signal level, not that i know, maybe its available via the control panel?

Did you include that display column in anticipation of this? Or are there other products that display this info that I am not using?

[gizmocuz]

I would ask on the openzwave forum if it is possible to know the RSSI

[bueno79]

so? did you get an answer ?

I would like to see that too.
Fibaro devices (other brands probably too) can check there signal so maybe they can report it too.

I think all devices should at least have this information: At startup (or network heal), the network mesh topology is built automatically and RSSI info is probaly used to do so. Otherwise, not being able to select routes with a good noise margin would lead to poor reliability.
