Group Zigbee nodes by area in the network visualisation

[daenney]

Right now, the network visualisation for Zigbee goes a bit crazy:

Since HA knows which areas each node is in (and this information is displayed when clicking on a node), it would be nice to group nodes in the same area together. That may also improve the spaghetti a bit 😅.

This should maybe be in "Other feature requests" but it's not quite clear to me what the categorisation should be.

zha UI so should maybe be posted to zigpy's backlog as [Core] issue? -> https://github.com/zigpy/backlog/issues

[daenney]

Mmm possibly. It's not entirely obvious to me what is actually providing the UI. The Zigpy packages all seem to only have Python code in it.

[Hedda]

The TypeScript] code for the UI is itself in the frontend under integration-panels

• https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/blob/dev/src/panels/config/integrations/integration-panels/zha/zha-network-visualization-page.ts

...but ZHA as a project on its own appers to be tracked under the zigpy (orginazation on GitHub) here:

• ZHA

However I am still not sure if and how they track UI feature requests.

[daenney]

Ah thanks. If the frontend code lives in home-assistant/frontend then I think the feature request needs to stay here?

Since it's not Zigpy/ZHA that's providing the UI they wouldn't be able to address this problem best I can tell.
