Zigbee Monitor – A Complete Health Dashboard for Your Zigbee

This QuickApp gives you a real‑time, high‑precision diagnostic view of your entire ZigBee network.

It tracks every device, evaluates link quality, detects ZigBee Engine freezes or crashes, highlights weak or unstable nodes, monitors battery health, and records communication drops over time.

Automatic sorting, color‑coded warnings, min/max LQI history, and intelligent ZigBee Engine health scoring, it turns your HC3 into a full ZigBee analytics console—making mesh problems visible instantly instead of guessing in the dark.

📑 Table Columns

🪫 ID                                  Device ID with battery status. Battery devices show color‑coded percentage; routers show “Serves as Router.” Ghost nodes appear as 👻.

📊 LQV (LQI value)           Shows min / current / max LQI values recorded since last reset. Helps identify unstable or fluctuating devices.

📶 LQI (Quality Status)    Color‑coded signal quality label: Excellent, Good, Weak, Poor, Critical. Includes drop‑severity superscripts when applicable.

❤️ Alive                             Displayed only when at least one device is dead. Shows “false” in red for non‑responsive nodes.

🏠 Name Room                   Device name with room shown in superscript. Ghost devices show their IEEE address instead.

📦 Type                             Indicates whether the device is Battery‑Powered (with percentage) or Serves as Router.

🔖 Vendor                         Manufacturer reported by the ZigBee device.

🔢 Model                           Device model identifier (e.g., E1743, SNZB‑02).

🧬 Family                          Routing family chain showing how HC3 child devices relate to each other (e.g., 123👥🡒456🡒789).

Requirements

  • HC3 with ZigBee enabled

  • QuickApp variables: user, password (secured)

User and Password

The QuickApp needs credentials to access the internal ZigBee API through the HC3 proxy.

Enter its username and password in the QA’s Variables tab.

The QA automatically encodes these values and uses them only for read‑only Zigbee queries.

Note: For security, you can create a dedicated HC3 user with limited permissions (not your main admin account)

What It Shows

ZigBee Engine status

ID, LQV (with min/max range), LQI status, Alive (if needed), Name and Room, Type, Vendor, Model, Family.

 

Please download and review the ZigBee Monitor User’s Guide for further details.

You can also download the ZigBee & HC3 Capacity Planning Guide, which helps you build a more stable and reliable ZigBee network.

What's New in Version 1.5   See changelog

Released

A new version of the Zigbee Monitor QuickApp is bringing a much clearer and more powerful view of your Zigbee mesh.

This update focuses on stability diagnostics, better visibility, and smarter detection of network issues.

 

  • ZigBee Engine Health                  Detects mesh freeze, ZigBee engine crash, instability, and drop‑based risk levels.

  • Drop Tracking & Severity         Per‑device drop counters, global drop count, and color‑coded severity indicators.

  • Improved LQI Analysis             Min/Max LQI history, clearer color coding, and enhanced quality labels.

  • Smarter Table Layout               New icons, cleaner formatting, and automatic sorting by weakest LQI first.

  • Battery Display Upgrade          Color‑coded battery levels and clearer router/battery device distinction.

  • Double‑Tap Reset Enhanced   Resets LQI history, drop counters, uptime, and thresholds.

  • Background Polling                      More reliable alive/dead detection and smoother table refresh cycles.

 

 

Feature Old Version New Version
ZigBee Engine  Not available Full engine: Stable / Unstable / At Risk / Freeze / Unresponsive
Drop Tracking No drop counters Per‑device drop count + global drop count

📥 Installation Instructions

For New Users

If you are installing the QA for the first time:

  1. Download LQI.v1.5.fqa

  2. Open your HC3 → Settings → Devices → Add Device → Upload File

  3. Upload the LQI.v1.5.fqa file

  4. The QA will appear automatically and start building the tableThis is the full package and includes all required code and configuration.

 

For Existing Users (Updating from an earlier version)

If you already have the QA installed:

  1. Download LQI.v1.5.txt

  2. Open your existing QA on the HC3

  3. Replace the current main code with the content of the .txt file (copy & paste)

  4. Save the QA

  5. The table will refresh automatically on the next update cycle

This method keeps your existing QA instance, variables, and settings intact.
