Blue Series 2-1 Switch - Enhancements/Bugs Thread

I’m not sure if I should post this here or in the firmware thread, but I had an interesting side effect from having to use the jtag harness to re-flash one of my switches.

Since I’ve received them, I’ve never had any of the Inovelli blue light switches function properly as routers (repeater). As a result, I’ve also never been able to use ZHA’s feature to connect a new device via one of my blue switches. I know a lot of people have had that issue as well, but quit following it since this has been fine for me, as my zigbee network is relatively strong.

Flash forward to needing to update to the 2.15 firmware. One of my light switches refused to take it, all others handled it just fine. I requested and borrowed the jtag flasher and flashed that one switch. Looking this morning, I realized that I now have a handful of devices connected through that one switch. I have also added a couple of devices via that switch as a test, which was successful.

Still, none of the other switches will allow me to add via them, nor are they doing any kind of routing.

I am not sure what is going on here, but I’m somewhat regretting not doing the process on the rest of my switches, as I thought they were functioning fine.

@EricM_Inovelli, I’m wondering if you have any insight as to why this would be, or if this would be helpful information in any way? I’m definitely now tempted to pick up a cheap jtag device (there was one linked in the other thread) and making my own harness for it.
