ZHA Firmware Update Guide

In case it helps anyone, I was able to trigger my Blue 2-1 switches to check for firmware updates using ZHA Toolkit (installed via HACS), which was easier than typing in the parameters.

  1. Set up the zha > zigpy_config > ota settings in configuration.yaml as described above. (You can use inovelli_provider: false if you intend to put the new firmware in the zigpy_ota folder yourself manually. The inovelli_provider setting is for automatically pulling the updates from Inovelli servers, and last I checked a while ago, the servers were not offering the 2.15 firmware for ZHA.)
  2. Go to Developer Tools > Services and select the zha_toolkit.ota_notify service (“Trigger Device’s Firmware Update”).
  3. For “Device Reference” field, select the light.[your_switch_name]_light entity.
  4. Click “Call Service”.

No other settings or parameter changes were needed (I didn’t have to enter the image type, file version, etc.)
