Is reporting no firmware available. I am at a loss here lol. I hope I didn’t get a bad batch

Uhm… I just notice that my firmware is definitely wrong:

Firmware version
V.04

@DEX

Is reporting no firmware available.

I am using Z2M in Homeassistant

If you mean 1.04, then you are at the latest (production) firmware for now. 1.06 was paused about 2 weeks ago for Z2M due to an issue. It may not have been re-released yet, although I don’t know the current status.

Blue Series Fan Switch Firmware Changelog | VZM35-SN

There have been two switches that are not reporting their mfg and model info after a factory reset on firmware 1.06 and I am trying to get info from the engineer on why this is happening. They are on Chinese holiday of course so the timing isn’t good. I have paused the update for z2m users and am recommending that users hold off on updating and to not do a factory reset if they have updated.

It must be a UI bug, But is definitely saying V.04. I also dont understand why my options are different than others with the same switch

One of the HA gurus will have to weigh in here.

@chack ??

This is somewhat the same? Blue Series Fan Switch showing as light rather than fan entity in Home Assistant - #17 by EricM_Inovelli

Maybe lol. I don’t use ZHA, but it seems as if the switch is half detected as a dimmer and not as a fan even though I have fan modes

That is just a mistake in the version string from the factory. It is actually firmware 1.04 that your switch has.

The reason it says “dimmer” or “on/off” is actually because z2m is sharing the parameter info from the 2-1 but you can essentially say that dimmer = celing fan and on/off = exhaust fan.

ah! Thanks! I somewhat figured that and is the options I chose.
