Expose LQI Values to the RestAPI for usage in other applications. #4

Feature request type

Report LQI values in Home Assistant

Description

Zigbee devices report the LQI ("Link Quality Index" I think) that gives an indication on how good the wireless signal is/was. It would be nice to be able to see the LQI of my connected devices also in Home Assistant (using the default integration).

Considered alternatives

E.g. Tasmota running on Zigbee bridge reports the LQI whenever a device makes a connection.

Additional context

I know you can see this in the deCONZ GUI when you enable the LQI switch, but I'd love to see and track these values outside of deCONZ as well.

Thanks for the request! I changed your title to make it a bit more generic.

We had this discussion earlier (i believe?) within the dev channels. I am not sure if this was either a WONTFIX or something comming up in the new RestAPI v2. I'll keep you posted!

Transfered the issue. Should be something for APIv2.

Today I had asked this question, really, it's a pity that this information is not in the rest-api right now ... it would be great, be waiting...

I'm raising this issue again, after finally trying Zigbee2MQTT for the first time recently, it made me realize how much deconz is missing, along with LQI values for each device in the API (something Z2M exposes along with all the clusters). Have the LQI values exposed is extremely valuable for tracking network issues over time, one can then use a device database (built into many home automation platforms) to store the LQI readings over time and see when degradation happens due to environment issues/changes.

Well, it's a holy true, homie, deconz is number two in this game anyway. It's been a long time, but the deconz haven't come close to competition. And it's not off-topic.
