# Node Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
The node detail screen provides comprehensive telemetry and metrics for each node on your mesh.
|
||||
|
||||
## Device Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
Basic operating information reported by each node:
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Description |
|
||||
|--------|-------------|
|
||||
| Battery Level | Current battery percentage |
|
||||
| Voltage | Battery voltage reading |
|
||||
| Channel Utilization | Percentage of airtime consumed |
|
||||
| Airtime | Transmission time used by this node |
|
||||
| Uptime | Time since last reboot |
|
||||
|
||||
Device metrics are displayed as individual cards with trend sparklines showing battery level, voltage, channel utilization, airtime, and uptime over time.
|
||||
|
||||
> 💡 **Tip:** Tap any metric card to expand it into a full chart with historical data points. Pinch to zoom the time axis.
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
Environmental sensor data (requires compatible hardware):
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Sensor Examples |
|
||||
|--------|-----------------|
|
||||
| Temperature | BME280, BME680, SHT31 |
|
||||
| Humidity | BME280, BME680, SHT31 |
|
||||
| Barometric Pressure | BME280, BMP280 |
|
||||
| Gas Resistance | BME680 |
|
||||
| IAQ (Air Quality) | BME680 |
|
||||
|
||||
Environment metrics are charted over time for easy trend analysis — temperature, humidity, and pressure each get their own line chart with the measurement unit displayed on the Y axis.
|
||||
|
||||
> 💡 **Tip:** Environment metrics require a sensor connected to the remote node. Not all nodes report environmental data. See [Telemetry & Sensors](telemetry-and-sensors) for a full list of supported sensors.
|
||||
|
||||
## Signal Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
Radio signal quality information:
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Description |
|
||||
|--------|-------------|
|
||||
| SNR | Signal-to-Noise Ratio (higher is better) |
|
||||
| RSSI | Received Signal Strength Indicator (closer to 0 is better) |
|
||||
| Hop Count | Number of mesh hops for last message |
|
||||
|
||||
### Signal Quality Reference
|
||||
|
||||
| SNR Range | Quality |
|
||||
|-----------|---------|
|
||||
| > 10 dB | Excellent |
|
||||
| 0 to 10 dB | Good |
|
||||
| -10 to 0 dB | Fair |
|
||||
| < -10 dB | Poor |
|
||||
|
||||
## Power Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
Power management telemetry (requires INA sensor or compatible hardware):
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Description |
|
||||
|--------|-------------|
|
||||
| Bus Voltage | Supply voltage |
|
||||
| Current | Power draw in milliamps |
|
||||
| Power | Calculated wattage |
|
||||
|
||||
## Traceroute
|
||||
|
||||
Traceroute shows the path a message takes through the mesh:
|
||||
|
||||
1. From the node detail screen, tap **Traceroute**.
|
||||
2. The app sends a traceroute request to the target node.
|
||||
3. Results show each hop with SNR/RSSI values.
|
||||
|
||||
### Reading Traceroute Results
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
You → Node A (SNR: 8.5) → Node B (SNR: 5.2) → Target
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each hop represents a relay node that forwarded the message.
|
||||
|
||||
## Position Log
|
||||
|
||||
Historical position data for nodes that share their location:
|
||||
- GPS coordinates
|
||||
- Altitude
|
||||
- Speed (if moving)
|
||||
- Timestamp for each position report
|
||||
|
||||
## Neighbor Info
|
||||
|
||||
Shows which nodes a given node can directly hear, useful for understanding mesh topology.
|
||||
|
||||
## Viewing Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to **Nodes**.
|
||||
2. Tap the node you want to inspect.
|
||||
3. Select the metric category from the detail tabs.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The position tab shows location data for nodes that share GPS:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
> ⚠️ **Note:** Metrics are only available when they have been reported by the remote node. Metrics update at intervals configured on each node's telemetry settings.
