Understanding ZWave "ROUTE" messages

I looked through FAQs but didn’t see a description of the Route messages.
I’d like to understand more about how Vera (when using own routing) routes messages.

I have about ten nodes that route like this:

02      12/25/12 12:35:26.103   ZW_Send_Data node 27 USING ROUTE 255.109.97.115 <0x2be29680>

All using the 255.109.97.115. That seems surprising, and 255 seems high for a node number.

Some of the routes are much simpler:

02      12/25/12 12:38:56.103   ZW_Send_Data node 41 USING ROUTE 12.0.0.0 <0x2be29680>

Does this imply a “one hop” route? Vera- > 12- > 41?

Just looking to understand the topography here… not urgent.

AFAIK, 0 and 255 mean ‘direct’.

[code] 02 12/25/12 12:38:56.103 ZW_Send_Data node 41 USING ROUTE 12.0.0.0 <0x2be29680> [/code] Vera- > 12- > 41?
Yes.

@oTi@ - Good thing it wasn’t urgent, you’re late! :smiley:

My thoughts exactly. (Can’t have @GroundLoop worry about this yet another Christmas Day. ;))

(I had tagged this one. The routing stuff isn’t dealt with that much, so figured I’d add a reply, for completeness.)

Better late than never :wink:

I’ve learnt something new today, thanks OTi@
