Nice one man.
This gives me a chance to ‘Brick’ some old devices and then an excuse to buy some NEW devices.
Sweet ! :+1:t3::blush:
Now where to find those Fibaro contact firmwares....

Now if only the firmware itself was accessible somewhere. Some make you ask, and others simply refuse to allow the updates even if they are available. I don't know of anywhere that you can basically download it.

let me be the first noob to ask this question,
how do I tell what firmware my Range Extender 6, Smart Switch 6 and Fibaro MS are at currently as it doesnt show on their device pages.

Inovelli lets you download ota but for LZW31-sn has a .bin

The attached .otz file is the Z-Wave Chip Upgrade that is target 0 in the Z-Wave PC Controller software.

The Holtek .bin file is the LED bar MCU firmware and is target 1 in the Z-Wave PC Controller software.

maybe I will wait until someone else tries

So one of my zwave repeaters is:
applicationVersion:1.2 and the other is applicationVersion:1.5
but the Aeotec website says the firmware is only the 1.05 version ?

Additionally - are range extenders meant to be set as "repeaters" or "relays" ?
