Who can explain Z-Wave routing in Vera?

I am looking for a clear explanation of a few z-wave fields in vera:

[ul][li]Neighbors field[/li]
[li]NeoghborsInverse field[/li]
[li]AutoRoute field[/li]
[li]Health[/li]
[li]AllRoutesFailed[/li][/ul]

and any other field relevant for troubleshooting z-wave and setting manual routes.

How are these fields used? How to interprete them?

I also found scripts on the forum to dump the routing table, but couldn’t get them to good use. Any pointers on the best way to troubleshoot z-wave in UI5?

thanks

You might start with the Wiki and section called ZWave Debugging

Hi aschwalb,

The page indeed explains the AutoRoute field:

The Auto route variable may be something like this: "2-20x,7-59x,2.7-78". This means there are 3 routes found. #1 uses node 2 as an intermediary, and it has a 'score' of 20. The score is a measure of latency and accuracy, the lower number is better. The 'x' that follows means the last attempt to use it failed, so it won't be used anymore. The next route uses node #7, it scored worse, and also failed. The 3rd route uses node 2 & 7. It had the worst score (78), but it's currently working (no x).

This is great already. However I just found the description I was looking for in http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Luup_UPNP_Files#Variables_4

In particluar:

#define ZWD_NEIGHBORS                   "Neighbors"         // DEVICEDATA_Neighbors_to_Call_CONST
#define ZWD_NEIGHBORS_INVERSE           "NeighborsInverse"  // Which neighbors see us
#define ZWD_HEALTH                      "Health"            // A rating from 0-5
#define ZWD_MANUAL_ROUTE                "ManualRoute"       // A route specified by an end-user
#define ZWD_ALL_ROUTES_FAILED           "AllRoutesFailed"
#define ZWD_AUTO_ROUTE                  "AutoRoute"         // A route chosen by profilings

many thanks for the pointer!
