NEW: Built-in OTA Z-Wave device firmware updates

Yes. Here is the link.

https://www.support.getzooz.com/new

Just ask for a link to the current firmware and provide a copy of the invoice showing you purchased the product. They seem to want that proof. They are very helpful.

Here is the support page article:

Edit: I see Ashok Aiyar (@aaiyar) was typing as I was looking up links. He is a faster typist than I am.

I still appreciate it.

how about creating a repository at hubitat for all of these updates instead of having to search all over the place?

Certainly on our radar :wink:

That would be great - especially if you are able to test the updates to confirm Hubitat compatibility / suitability.

This is a really nice feature! Thanks a bunch!

Seems like a companion app that lists all devices and their firmware versions would be really handy!
Just planting a seed of an idea... :slight_smile:

Better still if the firmware update app grouped all the devices by the manufacturer code, device type/ID, and firmware version so you could "select all" of the same device type and firmware and update them in a batch. It seems this would just require a simple query to each device at the startup of the app. so all the "same" devices could be identified and grouped.

I actually looked at that yesterday. Suddenly using generic zwave drivers is less appealing because it's hard to know the product. I ended up in the same spot as you, an app that looks at device is and firmware and reports groups of similar device ID's as well as reporting non upgradable devices (eg non z+ devices).

I like it, I haven't written anything in groovy, maybe this is the impetus for me to try it out.

@bcopeland Does this one do updates with S0 or S2 devices, or do you have to go plaintext to update like with the open source version?

Thank you, I overlooked the technical details below the diagrams.

Sure does

FYI, @bcopeland

Just tried a FW update on an iBlinds device. It never seemed to start and locked up my hub - had to reboot. I lost all control of all devices.

Froze on this screen - never had any progress:

Screenbefore:

Only logs I had:

I had just removed and re-installed the app. 2.2.4.158, C7. Motor is connected to power 24\7, so not an issue related to being batteries/sleeping, I would think. Blinds are joined w/S2 Auth.

same for me, not working at all currently

I'm on 2.2.4.158 and I successfully used the app to update firmware on 3 Inovelli Red Series dimmers a couple of days ago. I got a couple of errors along the way, but just restarted the update after the error and it worked fine.

I successfully updated a new Aeotec Recessed Door Sensor 7 today on my C-7 running 2.2.4.158. Had to reboot the hub to get the driver to report the updated firmware version.

Also ran into the Updater bug that refuses to go through the select device, etc., process if the prior updated device is no longer present (some sort of an app initialization issue). Solved by deleting the Updater app and reinstalling.

So where is everyone finding the firmware update files? Would be really nice if there was a central repository somewhere.

I've only updated Invoelli LZW36 and the file was on their website in the support section.

Right now, it seems to be a scavenger hunt. Aeotec has theirs on their website (see links on their support page for each device).

@dennypage has the recent Aeotec 1.02 update for the Range Extender 7 in his GitHub repo for a bug he found in the RE7 this past September (Aeotec support doesn’t seem to have posted the bug fix). Search the forum for @dennypage’s discussion on his driver release thread.

For Zooz, you have to file a support ticket and provide a copy of your purchase invoice. Innovelli has them on their support website. Bryan Copeland has some in his GitHub repo where his user-contributed firmware updater driver(s) were hosted.
