Hi everyone,
I’ve been exploring the world of ZigBee mesh networks with my Homey device, and I wanted to share my experience with the ZigBeeHealth.js script. This script, created by Geurt Dijker, has been incredibly helpful in diagnosing and improving my ZigBee network’s performance. Here’s my journey:
The Setup
After upgrading to Homey Firmware v5, I noticed some inconsistencies with my ZigBee devices. Some sensors were occasionally dropping connections, and I wasn’t sure why. That’s when I came across the ZigBeeHealth.js script on GitHub. It promised to analyze my ZigBee network and provide valuable insights.
Running the Script
Installing and running the script was straightforward, thanks to the detailed instructions provided. I installed the HomeyScript app, copied the script into a new flow, and ran it. The script analyzed my network and generated a detailed report, including device IDs, connection strengths, and any issues detected.
The Results
The most enlightening part was the almost last line of the script’s output, which provided a concise summary of my network’s health. It highlighted that a few devices had weak signal strengths, likely due to their physical placement. Armed with this information, I was able to reposition those devices closer to my Homey hub, significantly improving their connectivity.
The Outcome
After making these adjustments, my ZigBee network became more reliable. Devices that were previously dropping connections now function seamlessly. It’s been a week since the changes, and I haven’t encountered any issues yet!
Sharing My Experience
I’d love to hear how others have used this script. Have you noticed improvements in your network’s performance? What steps did you take to optimize your setup? Let’s discuss!
Cheers,
