Description

Preset-relative LoRa signal quality: SNR is now judged against the active modem preset's demodulation floor (per meshtastic/design#15) instead of fixed thresholds. Fixes the bug where -15 dB was called "bad" on LongSlow (excellent) or "good" on ShortFast (unusable).

Related Issues

Fixes #1241

Changes Made

  • core/utils/signalQuality.ts — 17-preset floor table (incl. MEDIUM_TURBO), getSnrLimit + rateSignalQuality (noise-floor dual-margin → RSSI-blend → SNR-only)
  • signalColor.ts, SNRLayer.tsx, NodeDetail.tsx, Nodes/index.tsx — consolidated to shared function
  • nodes.json — added signalQuality.good/fair/bad/none keys
  • WCAG 1.4.1: tier now in color + icon (SignalHigh/Medium/Low) + text

Testing Done

  • pnpm exec vitest run — 273/273 (16 new, table-driven, Android-mirrored, boundary -5.5/-7.5)
  • pnpm exec tsc --noEmit — 44/44 identical to main
  • pnpm exec oxlint — clean (1 pre-existing a11y warning only)
  • Hardware — Playwright on localhost:3000, 99 live nodes: MF 79/21/0 → SF 65/18/17 → MF restored 79/21, every tier matched spec

Screenshots

Before: fixed thresholds, linear % — After: preset-relative Good/Fair/Weak/No signal with icon+color+text (verified on Nodes table + NodeDetail popup)

Checklist

  • Code follows project style guidelines
  • Documentation has been updated or added
  • Tests have been added or updated
  • All i18n translation labels have been added

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added signal-quality labels for good, fair, weak, and no-signal states.
    • Signal quality is now evaluated according to the active modem preset.
    • Node details and the nodes list display signal-strength icons, quality labels, and measured SNR values.
    • Map signal colors now reflect preset-aware signal quality.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved signal assessment using SNR, RSSI, and noise-floor data.
    • Missing SNR values now appear as unknown instead of incorrectly displaying zero.

Fixes meshtastic#1241

- Add preset-relative floor table (17 presets, MEDIUM_TURBO
  included, graceful LONG_FAST fallback) and rateSignalQuality
  with noise-floor dual-margin / RSSI-blend / SNR-only paths
  per meshtastic/design#15
- Consolidate fixed-threshold sites (signalColor, SNRLayer,
  NodeDetail, Nodes) to single shared function
- WCAG 1.4.1: tier now encoded in color + icon + text
  (SignalHigh/Medium/Low + i18n nodes.signalQuality.*)
- Hardware-proven on 99 live nodes (MF→SF→MF, 273 tests, 44 tsc)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The web app now rates signal quality relative to the active modem preset. It applies shared SNR, RSSI, and noise-floor classification to map lines, node lists, and node details. The UI shows localized quality labels, signal icons, and measured SNR values.

Changes

Signal quality

Layer / File(s) Summary
Signal quality rating
apps/web/src/core/utils/signalQuality.ts, apps/web/src/core/utils/signalQuality.test.ts
Adds preset-specific SNR limits, telemetry-aware quality classification, fallback handling, and coverage for quality tiers and color mapping.
Map signal coloring
apps/web/src/core/utils/signalColor.ts, apps/web/src/components/PageComponents/Map/Layers/SNRLayer.tsx
Passes the configured modem preset through neighbor-line generation and uses shared quality classification for line colors.
Node signal displays
apps/web/src/pages/Nodes/index.tsx, apps/web/src/components/PageComponents/Map/Popups/NodeDetail.tsx, apps/web/public/i18n/locales/en/nodes.json
Replaces percentage heuristics with quality labels, signal icons, measured SNR values, and English translations in node views.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to fca7d

The PR updates signal-quality ratings to use the active modem preset and adds accessible tier indicators; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with signals bright
Presets sort the bands just right
SNR hops through the air
Icons show good, fair, or rare
Map lines glow in measured light
Localization makes labels right

- Around line 163-167: Update the SNR rendering in the Nodes component,
including the additional affected cell, so a nullish node.snr remains blank or
displays an unknown value instead of defaulting to 0 dB; preserve 0 dB only when
node.snr is an actual zero, while keeping rateSignalQuality behavior unchanged.

Coderabbit: null SNR was shown as 0 dB in red. Render unknown
instead; keep 0 dB only for actual zero reading per rateSignalQuality.
