PSA: I installed a ZEN51 relay and after upgrading to v1.8 FW, I lost the ability to locally turn off my lights via the attached switch. I was able to restore functionality after manually downgrading to v1.7 that was emailed to me from Zooz support. Pasting their response and letting you know they are working on a new FW.

Hello,

Thanks for those details.

This is a known issue with updating the production run FW 1.10 to 1.80. We are working on a new firmware to address this and will contact you once it's available.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Best,
Nikke

That'll teach you to upgrade firmware on something that was otherwise working, just to have the latest and greatest!

Just kidding. Thanks for sharing!

Although I didn't run into OP's bug since I don't use local control with mine, Zooz confirmed that a different (lesser) issue will also get fixed in that upcoming patch -- The 51's LED no longer comes on when the relay is On.

That's not a showstopper for me, so I've just stayed on 1.8
