Blue Series 2-1 Firmware Changelog | VZM31-SN

Switches Firmware Discussion
#56

You can go to the device page and look at the firmware - 0x01020207 is 2.07 as an example.

#57

2.07… yes.

#58

Is SmartThings on the list of providers for Inovelli to be sending Zigbee firmware updates to for the 2-1? I can’t recall if WWST certification with firmware updates was on the table.

#59

Where are the instructions for performing a firmware update on the Hubitat platform? TY

#60

Go to the device and scroll down to the Ipdate firmware button. Press the button twice if running the latest device driver. You should see the the Hubitat logs it start (and flashing green on switch if enabled).

We have been trying to get them to support OTA with edge, but they have not released a documented method of doing so yet. Maybe if they get enough requests, they will speed up the process?

@EricM_Inovelli It would be great if this changelog was also updated with a list of Known Issues – I was super confused when all of my group bindings broke and I couldn’t find any mention of them in the first post

We are holding off on the release of 2.08 as we re-work some of the endpoints / binding / group functionality. Sorry for the delay, but we want to make sure it fixes the issues and doesn’t cause problems elsewhere.

For now, please continue to use the individual device bindings until we have it resolved.

On a separate note. Is anyone using Zha getting power readings from their switches on 2.07? Mine are always 0. They never reported more than 0 since the firmware the switch shipped with. So not sure if that’s a future state to fix that?

#65

Mine is reporting power usage on 2.07

#66

I have one in a non neutral setting not reporting power but the one with neutral does. Not sure if it’s just a limitation in a non neutral setup.

#67

This is correct. No power monitoring without neutral connected to the switch.

How quickly or what is the method that these get pushed to Hubitat? I’ve finally had some time to get to updating firmware, and the version that is being updated to is 122F-0101-01020205, which appears to be the 4-November Firmware. Any further attempts to update the firmware gives me a log entry that firmware is up to date. Drivers are checked daily and updated as required if that matters.

I ask because this is the only method of check I have. My fwVersion state variable in Hubitat still shows 2.0, but the logs clearly indicate I’m on the “most updated version” of 01020205.

#70

There hasn’t been any new pushes for Hubitat yet. Firmware team and Inovelli are working on some fixes. I would try to refresh the page or Refresh All to see if the static variable updates.

Tried all the standard normal fixes to no avail. Not that big of an issue since I rely on the logs more for these sorts of things anyways. As in the past with red switches, I’m sure it’ll eventually just correct itself.

Did not know that about the Hubitat pushes, so thanks =)

#72

@EricM_Inovelli I’m on v2.05 now and have the group bind control issues that is listed for v2.07 in the top post. Just letting you know. thanks

November 11, 2022 / v2.08 / 0x01020208

Note: We are waiting for a PR to go through for HA before releasing it there. Bump ZHA quirks lib to 0.0.86 by dmulcahey · Pull Request #81966 · home-assistant/core (github.com)

Should be released on Hubitat soon.

  • Fix the ability to send commands to a group binding.

@EricM_Inovelli some of us (me, and maybe others) run z2m in a standalone configuration (no HA). Would be nice to not have to wait for the HA devs to push a release in order to get firmware pushed for z2m.

If someone could be a bit more ELI5 on the Hubitat updating that would be nice, I’ve done the following but haven’t seen any changes in the reported “fwVersion” on the device page:

  1. Update the Hubitat driver for the VZM31-SN to the 11/11 firmware from the old 8/14 via copy-paste.
    • is this required to update the device firmware?
  2. Go to the device page in Hubitat and double-click updateFirmware
    • do I need to update the driver for the Hubitat device? The driverDate field still says 2022-08-14

After doing this, the fwVersion still is reported as 2.00, fwDate still 20200805, same as another un-updated device. There is a lastUpdateFw state variable set now, which the other device doesn’t have at all. Debug logs were enabled and all I see is that it ‘updated to 2.00’, a.k.a. did nothing.

2022-11-11 03:48:29.470 PM[warn] Firmware in this channel may be "beta" quality. Please check https://community.inovelli.com/c/switches/switch-firmware/42 before proceeding. Double-click "Update Firmware" to proceed
2022-11-11 03:48:29.466 PM[info] Kitchen Cans: updateFirmware(switch's fwDate: 2020805, switch's fwVersion: 2.00)

Do I need to update my Hubitat software in general to get it to work? Were all versions beyond 2.00 revoked because of issues mentioned above? I’m confused :frowning:
