Client Health - Data Rate definition
hi all,
can someone explain the exact definition of client health definition?
almost all my IoT devices showns Fair health level with low Rate part:

all of those IoT devices communicate via MQTT protocol with very low data exchange by design.
so I have some questions:
- what the Rate parameter exactly means?
- how is it measured?
- what should the Rate parameter be for score 10?
- can be the parameter adjusted somewhere to reflect the real IoT devices data rate?

Hi @ZoloNN
Thanks for posting here.
Health status calculation is based on a comprehensive consideration of multiple metrics. The client’s health status has an independent indicator, such as client reconnection, interference, and other metrics, which contribute to an overall score. Currently, no further information is available.
We are preparing a dedicated document to introduce this feature. Please stay tuned, and thank you for your interest.

Hi @Vincent-TP,
the Health parameters for each device type are self-explanatory and logical:
Gateway: CPU Usage / Memory Usage / WAN Latency
Switch: CPU Usage / Memory Usage / Error Frame Rate / Packet Loss Rate
AP: CPU Usage / Memory Usage / Channel Usage / Channel Interference Rate / Wireless Transmission Quality
Wireless Client: RSSI / Association Time / Rate
Wired Client: N/A
except the Rate parameter for Wireless Clients.
As I mentioned in my initial post, all IoT devices are penalized for low data rate even if this is expected from them by design.

Hi @ZoloNN
Regarding your feedback, the specific optimization measures from Omada version 6.1 are as follows:
After an IoT device enters power-saving mode, even if the negotiated rate is very low, it will still be directly rated as 10 points.
Is this how it works in your network?

Hi @Vincent-TP,
it looks fine now - except two devices still showing "unsufficient" link speed: my BWT Mixxo and Eufy doorbell camera...
all other (mostly) ESP devices are green

Hi @ZoloNN
Thanks for the update.
Could you please share a screenshot of the "insufficient" link speed page? We will also test it locally.
