Priority route not visible with "star"

[Beer17HWAM]

My friend and I both have the same zwave-js-ui 9.3.2 version. I can see all the Priority routes, visible with "star" in the network graph. My friend isn't seeing any "star".

How is that posible?

[robertsLando]

But did you set that priority route manually or what? Firstly switch to latest 9.6.0

[Beer17HWAM]

Yes we both added routes manually. We did mainly the same things. Just add some priority routes. I use those to have a more stable situation. Since I use priority routes it works better. My friend want those too but isn't seeing any "stars". I know that there are newer versions but my friend hasn't got any "stars" for months now. And I do. The only difference is I run a separate docker and my friend has the hassio addon. Very strange, we use the same version and the same hardware zwave dongle.

[robertsLando]

This explanation alone doesn't give me enough context to tell you what's going on there, what I can think is that for some reason he did a route update and the priority route has been removed and it became a LWR route instead

[Beer17HWAM]

No, the priority route isn't removed. It's still there. But I see all small "stars" in the network graph view but in his network graph no starts are visible.

[robertsLando]

I dunno, if your friend has such issue he should upload nodes json so I can give it a look

[Beer17HWAM]

nodes_dump.json This is his json export.

[robertsLando]

The only one with an application route set is node 22 and it has:

"lwr": {
        "protocolDataRate": 2,
        "repeaters": [
          3
        ]
 },
"nlwr": {
        "protocolDataRate": 3,
        "repeaters": [],
        "rssi": -54,
        "repeaterRSSI": []
},
"applicationRoute": {
      "repeaters": [],
      "routeSpeed": 3
    },

Does he see the star on the link from 22 to the controller? I have a feel if he doesn't it could be because the nlwr mathes the application route

[Beer17HWAM]

He doesn't see any star, no stars at all. And when he sets more priority routes they don't stick. After he sets a priority route and leave the popup and click the node again the priority route is gone. Only on node 22 it stays. Setting priority routes is not going well and he doesn't see any star.

Nodes with priority: Node 3, 5, 32, 46, 31, 45, 22 (also return)

[robertsLando]

I need driver logs that show the tries of setting a priority route

[jeroen84s]

zwave-js-ui-store.zip Are those the correct log file? If not, can you explain how to create the driver logs?

[robertsLando]

Them are correct. Thanks. I need to ask @AlCalzone to review them. Anywat could you also try to upgrade to latest ? 9.6.0?

[robertsLando]

I only see a successfull try in logs and no fail:

[jeroen84s]

I can't update to a newer version, because I use hassio addon

[Beer17HWAM]

Again, in my opinion it has nothing to do with the version because I use the same version in a docker. I see beautiful "stars". :-)

[AlCalzone]

@robertsLando how are the stars drawn? Are they text/emojis or SVG?

Can we somehow confirm whether Z-UI sees the routes as priority routes? In other words, can we confirm whether this is a pure display issue?

[Beer17HWAM]

See jpg. This is mine. The network graph of @jeroen84s isn't displaying any "star".

[Beer17HWAM]

@robertsLando how are the stars drawn? Are they text/emojis or SVG?

It's not only a display issue. The priority routes @jeroen84s is making are not saved. He can set a route (and back) but after closing the node and opening the node the priority route is gone.

[AlCalzone]

Ok I'll try to look at the logs tonight. Maybe I'll see something.

[robertsLando]

@AlCalzone them are SVG and as said I don't see any error in the logs he uploaded above. Anyway IMO this seems to me a display issue but I may be wrong

[Beer17HWAM]

Not only a display issue!! I already said: The priority routes @jeroen84s is making are not saved. He can set a route (and back) but after closing the node and opening the node the priority route is gone.

[AlCalzone]

@jeroen84s is showing that several communication attempts succeed using the priority routes, e.g.

2023-12-21T10:30:05.168Z DRIVER « [REQ] [SendData]

                                    TX channel no.:         1

and that several priority routes are known, e.g.:

2023-12-21T10:30:07.275Z DRIVER « [RES] [GetPriorityRoute]
                                    node ID:     46

What might be happening: This node is a sleeping node, so there are no route statistics yet to draw the route. I think Z-UI isn't handling the case where there are no statistics, but the priority route is known. @robertsLando

[Beer17HWAM]

@AlCalzone Can you see the routes back also? The route back isn't shown in the Node when you open it again in the Network Graph after setting it. And why do I see "stars" and @jeroen84s not? I think it's all very strange. Why this complete other reaction than I have. I also set priority routes with sleeping Nodes. Also setting prio routes between Nodes with power (non sleeping Nodes) isn't displaying any "star". Am I the only one with visible "stars"? Lucky guy I am. ;-)

[AlCalzone]

The routes back require communication with the node, which doesn't happen when the node is asleep. It has to be woken up for the return route to actually be saved. After that there has been communication with the node, which means there are routing statistics, which means this display bug in Z-Wave JS UI probably won't trigger anymore for that node.

As for routes to and from powered nodes: I need to see a log of that.

[jeroen84s]

Your vision about the sleeping nodes looks correct. Both wall plugs has a priority route (also return route). And the star in is not showing up in the graphic

[Beer17HWAM]

No stars. Maybe with Christmas. Just wait. ;-)

[nmpu]

I've never seen stars either. I saw the legend, but never knew what I was missing. My priority routes are still there when I drill down and the diagram has changed-- just no stars. All my priority routes involve powered devices. This is one of those features that is probably rarely used or missed. BTW, the 'Node properties' popup gets clipped by Daniel's donation footer. The [Ping] button is obscured.

[robertsLando]

@nmpu can't you just drag the dialog a bit higher? it can be moved where you want

[nmpu]

@robertsLando yes, that does work. I'm not used to web dialogs being moveable. Pretty fancy. Once you know there's a [Ping] button, you can blindly click on the top edge.

Should I also see stars in the app? I don't.

The 'Show return routes' and 'Show priority routes' checkboxes get disabled in the global view, but are enabled in the node view. However, the previous state remains when grayed. Is that how it's supposed to work?

[Beer17HWAM]

Graph of jeroen84s: With the latest HAOSS zwave still NO STARS. And a lot of gray nodes (disconnected). But they work without problems.

[Beer17HWAM]

I also have one gray node but this one is also working without problems. And I have stars, lucky me!

[nmpu]

@Beer17HWAM Do you see stars in the app? I'm not sure that's even a thing.

[Beer17HWAM]

@Beer17HWAM Do you see stars in the app? I'm not sure that's even a thing.

Yes, it's a sign for priority routes. But not all people have those stars in their Graph. I allways had them.

[nmpu]

@Beer17HWAM It can't be a display issue. I'm running HAOS as an x86 VM. The install is only about a month old. I recently switched from 500 series to 800 series radio. I never saw stars in either case. I have 40 nodes. You have fewer. Your friend is in the middle. Does something happen with newer installs? Larger networks? I think it's a configuration setting.

[nmpu]

@Beer17HWAM how does your graph change if you uncheck 'Show priority routes' in the drop-down section?

[Beer17HWAM]

@Beer17HWAM how does your graph change if you uncheck 'Show priority routes' in the drop-down section?

Is grayed out, cannot disable 'Show priority routes'.

[nmpu]

If 'Node properties' is shown, the checkboxes will be ungrayed. It's not clear what's going on there. Do you see stars in the node (zoomed) view? You know what I'm trying to do right? I'm trying to make you lose your stars. :)

I'm not able to "remove" the stars. I can toggle the switches, see results. In the main Graph stars never disappear. See all the 4 the possibilities:

[robertsLando]

I have a feel that the start issue is something browser related as it is passed as an svg... Could I ask you to open dev tools and see in network tab if the svg request is fullfilled correctly?

[Beer17HWAM]

The file is simply not available!!

[Beer17HWAM]

In my case it is available:

[Beer17HWAM]

Why is the star.svg file not available in the hassio add-in version?? I still have it in my separate docker environment, not as add-in.

[robertsLando]

Ok so seems an issue with the hass addon, maybe @frenck could help here? Could it be a proxy issue maybe?

[Beer17HWAM]

The star.svg file not available in the hassio add-in version. That's why nobody with hassio has stars. I run a separate docker environment outside Home Assistant that's why I have the star.

https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-zwave-js-ui :

[Beer17HWAM]

The https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui version has a star:

[robertsLando]

star should be in dist/star.svg and that dist folder is only created during the build step. I think it is there but for some reason the addon proxy doens't serve it correctly

This issue is stale because it has been open 90 days with no activity. Remove the stale label or comment or this will be closed in 5 days. To ignore this issue entirely you can add the no-stale label

[Beer17HWAM]

It's still not fixed in the latest release. Please fix.

[robertsLando]

I sincerly have no clue how to fix this as it's working on all my instances

[Beer17HWAM]

The star.svg is not available in his environment. How can he fix this?

[robertsLando]

I cannot help so much as the error seems to be on addon side, only @frenck could help here and I already tagged him
