zwave analysis, your help requested

I am trying to gather datasets for my sons phd.
He is doing research on networks: natural, artificial, financial, political, economical, corruptions etc. It would may be help him to get some examples from our home automation networks.

if you participate you will get in return an analysis of your network in comparison with the other networks participating in the survey : # of nodes, ping time distribs, neighbor analysis and what ever he can get out of the data ( and later in 2 + years a pdf file of his theses if you are interested)

I have written a little script (mostly copied from other folks put together ) that you should run and then send the output to me via email (karlwachs at me dot com)

The script will get the neighbors of each zwave device and ping each device 4 times. It will create lines in the indigo log file like:
Code: Select all

it will contain all active (non battery) zwave devices with its neighbors and ping round trip times of 4 tries.

I would need the lines after the line
Code: Select all
 Script                          results



Here is what you need to do:
- download this py file https://www.dropbox.com/s/7uyt7c82r5l9vh6/zwave.py.zip?dl=1 expand and save it in~/documents/zwave.py
- then create an action group with an action like this = execute the external zwave.py script:
Screen Shot 2016-06-12 at 5.57.41 PM.png
Screen Shot 2016-06-12 at 5.57.41 PM.png (166.96 KiB) Viewed 6338 times

- then execute the action just created
- then copy the lines after results and paste into an email and send to me.
- then wait patiently

thanks in advance

Karl

Re: zwave analysis, your help requested

I'm only just starting to really incorporate a lot of ZWave into my network, 95% Insteon right now, will having this analysis help if it's only 5-6 devices?

Re: zwave analysis, your help requested

Hi Karl,
I am getting messages like this in my Event Log:
Script Door - Ensuite success:False TimeDelta:32767
Script Door - Ensuite Timed-Out, No Reply Received

The Ensuite Door is a battery device - should it be checking those?

I hadn't spotted your post as I have been out and then when back, watching the Apple WWDC - thanks for drawing it to my attention. :D

Re: zwave analysis, your help requested

Mine did the same for Fibaro multi sensors which are batteries.

I left them in for Karl to ignore as he chose :-)

Re: zwave analysis, your help requested

I excluded battery as I understand they do not answer. I don't have any battery operated besides a remote control and THAT does not answer.

actually i excluded:

if device.supportsStatusRequest != True:

don't need to exclude the script will use them and set them as timeout = do not answer which is correct

Ah - that's why then.

Fibaro's do support status request when they're awake, they're just very sleepy devices. :-)

Re: zwave analysis, your help requested

I'll try it again tomorrow, the script exited with the following messages:

Script Error Exception Traceback (most recent call shown last):

Re: zwave analysis, your help requested

oops for those 2 that have already submitted , could you download the zwave.py file again. I forgot to include the zwave address of the devices tested.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7uyt7c82r5l9vh6/zwave.py.zip?dl=1

the output now looks like:

first number column is sequential, the second is the zwave number

Thanks

Karl

this will also capture the timeout and set the time to 9999

As I only got 5 replies, I guess I will need to cancel this effort.
For those who submitted their data, thanks again, and sorry for your wasted efforts.
