HS WX300 R2 Dimmer reports wrong firmware

I have a lot of the WS-200's. They show the correct firmware.

  • firmwareVersion: 5.14 ---------That is the most recent

All the WX-300 Dimmer show

  • firmwareVersion: 2.01 ----------The latest posted rev for these is v1.13:...not even close to a 2.xx rev.

I'm just learning Hubitat...maybe I'm missing something, but I want to update any firmware before I include with S2 security.

Just a little nervous since I would not want to trash a perfectly good 50 buck switch.

Since I don't know what the firmware really is don't even know if I need to.

Any thoughts...THANKS!

You can always email their tech support to confirm

Going to guess that they updated the firmware for the R2 hardware (where the 700 chip was swapped for 800) and maybe haven't posted anything about it since, as far as I can see, there are no updates for this hardware revision at the moment.

All the Hubitat driver should be doing is pulling the data from the Z-Wave version report the device sends to the hub on request, so there isn't too much that can go wrong there. There is no standard for if or how this information is displayed on the device detail page, however, even though many drivers do this somehow. The other place you can look that will force a command and read the value from the report (unless you already had the device selected and it's cached--I think changing selection clears this) is the Device Firmware Updater app.

If you're still concerned, I second the advice above to contact their support -- though, again, these were just released (after all the features that were added to the "R1" revision in the firmware a year and some months ago now), so I wouldn't be surprised if that were the only firmware for it.

That's the answer. My WX300-R2 shows 2.01.

1.13 is for the Mk1, Mod0 700-series version.

I remember seeing something that stated this definitively, but I can't find it at the moment. If I do find it, I'll update.

This is clearly the issue...which isn't an issue.

It'd be nice if Homeseer pointed that out on their deices firmware download page.

Thanks!

Their official documentation around this update is terrible.

Thanks...

Well, I've moved three to Hubitat converting them to S2 so far. I have 10. They all need sw updates.

The main trick I learned was that not only to be able to set the device to track "contact" open/close...it has to physically be open /closed first or all you get is a "battery" option.

The thing that was driving me crazy was it wouldn't wake up for the fw upgrade until that happened either.

Surely not the HS-WX300...
