Wow upgraded my on/off switch today and worked great! Thanks for all your hard work!

Has anyone successfully updated their Inovelli Red Dimmer with the light bar firmware? I know the file is in .bin format and needs to be .hex. I used the Silicon Labs .bin to .hex tool and when I tried to load it onto the switch, I got the error firmwareUpdateProgress : Failed to find matching firmware.
Looking at the logs, it seems the .hex file maybe isn't in the expected format.

I still have no luck with my LZW30's. This morning i did a factory reset on one of them and still no luck.
I did find that after the first time you attempt this and get a "sleepy device" message, the switch is actually is a bad state. PRessing the config button 3 times does not initiate pairing mode. Once you air-gap it, pairing mode will work again.
Don't know if that's helpful.

Yep.. I ran into the same thing.. It’s not finding the firmware descriptor in the image

I think I got past the Inovelli LZW30 issue! I noticed some LED activity during the update process and noticed the switch seems to not ever reply to two commands from this driver in a row without air gapping.
For anyone having trouble, try this:
- Abort and release lock of any prior attempts
- Air Gap your switch and plug it back in
- Start Firmware upgrade
- Watch the process, and watch for "Current Firmware version obtained" (or something similar to that)
- Immediately air-gap your switch and plug it back in (it has to be fully "re-booted" while the updater is downloading/parsing the firmware)
- For me the "Request to apply firmware", was then immediately successful
Unfortunately I cannot replicate again to see if it works since I dont have another LZW30 to try on.

That Worked!! I didnt even have to do step 4 & 5. i just air gaped the switch and then immediately hit the update firmware button. I missed the "Current Firmware version obtained" but the upload still went through. Thanks!

That worked for me also. I also like @EAN didn't have to do the last two step. Does it tell you that the update is done? etc.

It sends the last message (as long as the device sends it) stating that it is complete and flashing and that it will restart when done..
But there is no standard for when the device boots back up so I have no way of representing that
I look at your video and mine is saying that it padding hex bytes does that mean it is writing to the device? I didn't see that terminology on your video and I know that each manufacturer does things differently? I also not getting the firmware load percent? may be normal Thanks for this it will make it easier for devices updates.

The video used an OTA file which is a different format than a hex file.. hex files can contain large gaps where there should be filler 0xFF.. That's what that means.. it is filling memory any gaps in the firmware update file has with 0xFF which is what the standard calls for

Thanks for the explanation.

anytime..
It been over an hour and it is still on the padding hex bytes? is there anything else I need to do or just wait??

Ok.. no.. it shouldn't take that long.. a minute tops.. Hit abort and start over.. I'm thinking it didn't get something right.. Maybe the hex download was missing something..

Just tried this and got the same hang at padding hex bytes. Log shows:
2020-04-19 11:09:51.977 errorjava.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method and() on null object on line 461 (firmwareStore)
Wondering if maybe this is due to me trying to host on Dropbox and their share URLs can have "special" characters?
like "?dl=0" at the end...

ahhh .. dropbox.. Special characters should not be an issue.. In fact my early testing all had httpget variables.. But it may be similar to the issue that another user had with google drive..
As I am not familiar with dropbox (as I don't use it) .. I'm not sure here..
What are you trying to update?
it acts like it downloaded. But I imagine given the output... it didn't. Zooz ZEN27. So an otz file.
