Update firmware on leviton decora zwave switches

[banta]

I thought I saw a topic on how to plug the he zwave usb into a computer and flash the firmware. Now I can't seem to find it.

I have devices that the switch works but the status isn't reporting correctly in hubitat. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

I followed this process

Z-wave Switches Failing

I have had 2 Leviton DZ15S-1BZ Decora Smart Switches go bad (quit working completely) in the past 2 weeks or so. Weird thing is that they were both in the same location. One went bad and I replaced it and now it has gone out. Won't even turn on the lights. The first time, the lights were on and I had to replace the switch late at night to get them off. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this to happen? Thanks!

but there is also this file you can use from Leviton you will still have to use the process above and use the Hubitat stick

Ya I found the thread but can't get the HE Zwave stick recognized by the Homeseer software correctly.

it was a pain to get the usb driver installed on Windows 10 but it does work.
Once installed make sure the USB stick is using the new driver in device settings

I flashed them all and repaired unfortunely lights are still reported incorectly on hubitat. They show off when on and vice versa. I was afraid of this had the issue on wink where they just showed online after a couple of weeks. I guess this is better...but makes the dashboard useless

You need to un-pair them from HE and reset them back to factory defaults and then re-pair them or you will most likely have issues.

I wasn't aware that the Leviton switches needed Firmware updates. I have mostly the following:

Leviton DZ15S-1BZ Decora Smart Switch with Z-Wave Technology
Leviton DZS15-1LZ Decora Z-Wave Controls 15-Amp Scene Capable Switch
Leviton VRF01-1LZ Vizia RF + 1.5A Scene Capable Quiet Fan Speed Control
Leviton DZPA1-2BW Decora Smart Plug-in Outlet

Is there a way to quickly update the firmware on all of them? Asking as a newbie with minimal technical skills.

[RELEASE] Z-Wave Firmware Updater

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.
