Distinguishing between Zigbee pairing states?

Question

To provide feedback to the user through the LED state, I would like the behavior to be something like this: 
 
 If the nRF52840 Zigbee device is unpaired and ready for a ZC to add it, flash the blue LED 
 If it is paired but it's still searching for its parent node (or if it has lost connectivity after previously talking to other nodes), flash the red LED 
 If it is paired and it is successfully connected to the network, keep the green LED on solid 
 
 I have been looking at the messages arriving through zboss_signal_handler() but I don't understand how to differentiate between these cases. What should I watch for, and is there an example that demonstrates it? 
 My app implements a Zigbee on/off switch and it is set up to be a router node.

Hi, 
 That is good to hear!

 You can use either the device_type field of zb_nwk_nbr_iterator_entry_t to check if the device is an end device, or the relationship field to check if it is a child.

Device type 
 The type of the neighbor device: 0x00 = ZigBee coordinator 0x01 = ZigBee router 0x02 = ZigBee end device 0x03 = Unknown

Relationship 
 The relationship between the neighbor and the current device: 0x00 = neighbor is the parent 0x01 = neighbor is a child 0x02 = neighbor is a sibling 0x03 = None of the above 0x04 = previous child

Best regards, 
 Marte
