Is my repeater repeating?
-
I tried to setup a sensor as repeater node. In the end I wondered if this node is used from the other nodes as repeater or if the messages went directly to the gateway. How can I find out how many hops a message took until it arrived at the controller? Is there a best practice for setting up repeater nodes... like "power off all sensors, start gateway, start repeaters after x seconds, start sensors after y seconds,...."
Is there a way to read out the network topology?
Any help is very appreciated...

You can see topology in the MYSController..

The only way to know how many hops a message took is to watch the serial output from all of your repeaters and gateway, a message only keeps the information from the last node.
For a best practice, I would say to first turn on the gateway, repeater, sensors. But really it does not matter since the network is self-healing, and sensors will try to use the shortest route they can find.

@hek: thank you, MYSController helped a lot.
