Finally!: Zigbee USB Smart Adaptor (SONOFF ZBMicro)

Thanks, a bit yakky, but doesn't appear to be actively destructive. A lot like most young kids. :wink:

Cool...nice when a vendor follows through in a reasonable time period. :slight_smile: Looking forward to updates on this from you early adopters! :smiley:

1,0,5 is not yet available for an OTA update from my Sonoff hub.
@jlv did they ask you for a specific Device ID ?
Some manufacturers use to roll out the updates first to a white-listed IDs only.

As usual for the most of the Sonoff products, it is expected that the basic On/Off functionality will work out of the box using Hubitat stock drivers ( the Generic Zigbee Switch).
Will this fall off the network like other sonoff ones typically do?

My ZBMicro stays 100% stable paired to both C-8 and C-7 hubs.

However, other users experience is different .
I have no idea why that difference exists.

Update: the link refers to ZBMiniL2, but the problem may be the same.

Funny, the 1.0.5 update is available first on Zigbee2MQTT, before Sonoff own hubs! :slight_smile:

That's a long update for a tiny plug. :wink:

It's probably a big patch! :slight_smile:

Now, I think that providing the OTA updates first for other home automation systems, not for Sonoff customers, is a smart strategy!

There was an unsuccessful firmware update for the Sonoff TRVZB thermostat a few months ago. It was the Z2M users who suffered from it, I think it was withdrawn later. But this OTA never reached Sonoff hubs customers!

The OTA update was sucessful, paired back to my C-7.

Now, the ZBMicro sends Zigbee messages (ZDO Match Descriptor Request) to the hub only once every 3 minutes (180 seconds).
Before, the request was sent every 15 seconds.

Now, with the 1.0.5 firmware update, ZBMicro is 12 times less chatty than before! :+1:

It can do worse than just fall off the Zigbee mesh - it was causing my main C-7 with a large Zigbee mesh to crash. Other people have reported this problem, too.

I'm currently using it successfully on a different C-7 (as the only Zigbee device).

I won't try it back on my main hub until I get it updated with the new firmware.

Yup, it was a hot mess.

Here are the Zigbee stats 10 hours after rebooting a C-7 hub :

The ZBMicro 1.0.5 is 42 times less spammy compared to the Tuya mmWave radar.

I've updated the first of my 3 already.

The green Network LED is now solid on (once I sent a command to the device).
