Didn't have to upgrade the firmware (about 1/2 years old), worked perfectly fine out-of-the-box with ZHA. I suggest trying it first before taking the risk to break it.
I had TROUBLE with my Sonoff dongle and the manual bootload didnt work for me. This link below helped me do the Python method (without much python knowlegde). If anyone was struggling with getting into bootloader mode with your dongle dont waste your time like I did... some dongles just dont work that well with the physical button. Thanks for the video SMJ!
Thanks Ed for the clear instructions, one thing I noticed is that I needed to instal the C2102N driver for windows in order to get my drive to show up in the Flash Programmer 2.
This is the stick I use, I have had no issues and it is very inexpensive so win/win! I do highly recommend you get a extension cable, if you plug it directly into you r PI for example there is good chance you will have interference problems.
ty for the guide. i had a bit of trouble while following, because my laptop was missing windows drivers for the dongle. downloaded the drivers from sonoff's page and all good. maybe you could add a note fot that on the video. For anyone that can't see the silicon lab device, this might be you the issue. thanks again
Thx, worked at first try! Now my newer Aqara devices show up correctly in HA. Before, power consumption and battery levels didnt show up on all devices. Greetings fromm Vienna
Thank you for your video! I followed your instructions, but the Flash Programmer was not showing the "Silcno Lab CP210x ...". After updating the driver from Silicon Labs it showed up. However, the flashing process always fails, saying: >Initiate access to target: COM4 using 2-pin cJTAG. >No response from device. Device may not be in bootloader mode. Reset device and try again. If problem persists, check connection and baud rate. >Connecting over serial bootloader failed: No response from device. Device may not be in bootloader mode. Reset device and try again. If problem persists, check connection and baud rate. >Failed to create device object. I pressed the bootloader button several times for a longer period - no change. Any ideas?
Finally got it to work. Couldn't get the sonoff in to bootloader mode.. and used the Python way. Then after installing and installing it again, I saw that ZHA (Zigbee home atomation) already used the Sonoff stick. So after removing that, and a reboot, it worked. Perhaps you can add this to your video. After trying and reading a compleet afternoon, I read that lots of people bump into this. Complements on the video thou.
I think creating a FAQ for these dongles on my website and linking to it in the video descriptions might be a good idea. Unfortunately I cannot alter the videos once they are uploaded to TH-cam.
I'm trying to do the same, I've flashed my 2nd stick with the router firmware but can't get it to pair with the first. I'm running zha, when I scan for devices it finds nothing new. Any tips?
@@JasGawera You first need to get your ZigBee network setup, then put your router into pairing mode. Plug the fresh router unit in and it will pair automatically as long as it's in range from your main unit.
@@accordxtc319 Yes, got my controller working with a couple of sensors then wanted to get the router in place to extend the range before adding more sensors further away. I'll try it again with the router right next to the controller just to eliminate poor signal as a potential issue. Currently it is on the floor just below the controller so doubt that is the cause. I assume there is no way to tell really what is going on if it fails to connect. Thanks for the reply

Thanks again for the tutorials. If I can add 2 elements that really bother me. Before being able to update the firmware, I had to install a driver called CP210x_windows_drivers so that I could see the stick in the Texas software. And the second more shitty thing! I already have a zigbee network with deconz running. And it was impossible for me to start zigbee2mqtt with the sonoff stick. I had weird errors. I reinstalled everything from scratch, same thing. The problem was that my rasberry was still receiving payloads from my devices and suddenly refused to start. the trick was to remove the antenna of the sonoff stick at startup and miracle! everything started. So of course you have to redo a complete pairing. If this information can be useful to the community.

Hoi, ik heb het zojuist geprobeerd op basis van jouw (als altijd zeer duidelijke) video. Het gaat daadwerkelijk over dit type dongle (dus niet de "E" variant). Inmiddels is de firmware alweer een aantal versies verder en daar zit, vrees ik, mijn probleem. De upgrade blijft zeuren over een "unknown record type: 3" om vervolgens een "failed" te geven. Om uit te sluiten dat het aan het unieke exemplaar zou liggen, heb ik het op een ander exemplaar geprobeerd (destijds 3 stuks gekocht bij Ali). Met het zelfde resultaat. Mijn vraag aan jou: zou het aan de nieuwste versie kunnen liggen? Zo ja, zou jij me dan aan de versie kunnen helpen waar mee jij het e.e.a. hebt getest. Alvast mijn dank. 😊
I tried to flash a sonoff USB 3.0 stick earlier today and failed repeated times. I watch your video 30 minutes ago and I think I understand why so will have another go tomorrow. I hope I get it sorted because I have another 2 coming tomorrow that I want to flash as routers
hi, I tried to update the firmeware as you said but it is not working. looking a little bit on internet, I found out that my Sonoff needs .bin firmware and not .hex, are you aware of that?
I bought one and like to add that the mention that the heatsink look "is just plastic" is incorrect. It feels cold to the touch, it's metal. It might not be a heatsink but it's definitly not plastic.
Mine works well, see conflicting info on output gain . Would you like to make video on setting the gain on the P, sonoff explanation a bit vague and confusing. Sonoff box said 20dBm on web site where they compare the P & E says default 5 dBm, adjustable to 20 dBm for the P. Thanks for your videos.
Hallo Ed, Dank voor de vele leerzame video's die mij hebben geholpen bij het opzetten van HA. Hierbij heb ik de volgende vraag. In je video's maak je gebruik van de Sonnoff Zigbee 3.0 en de Conbee II USB stick. Ik maak gebruik van ZHA en welke van de 2 zou jij adviseren en waarom, wat zijn de voor en nadelen van beide. Welke gebruik jij zelf in je productie omgeving? Groetjes Hayco
I tried to update the firmware and below is the result of the firmware update: >Initiate access to target: COM5 using 2-pin cJTAG. >Reading file: C:/Users/ELISHAI/Downloads/CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20230507.hex. >Unknown record type: 3. >Reset target... >Reset of target successful. The "unknown record type" error suggests that there may be a problem with the firmware file you are trying to program. You may need to obtain a different firmware file or modify the existing file to remove the unrecognized record type. So there is another firmware file?
I had the same issue and after some googling I found that there is an issue with the latest firmware (20230507) and the TI Flash Programmer...Apparently there is nothing wrong with the firmware, the issue sits with e TI Flash Programmer.
Hi, nice video, many thanks👍 I wonder why you had to update the firmware first on a new stick...., and then I'm surprised that it's not a firmware from the stick manufacturer, but a github version....? What is the reason for this and what are the advantages compared to the original firmware that is already on the device and also generally compared to the manufacturer's own firmware?
Newer firmware raises the maximum number of devices directly connected to the stick. like, from 40 to 255 iirc. There's also a firmware to turn one of these sticks into a router instead of a coordinator. See this video : th-cam.com/video/iCE5Z43EKpk/w-d-xo.html
Can you use this update method after the stick has been in use with ZHA with a few devices and will that update force all devices to be reloaded? Is there no OTA available for Sonoff?
Thx. Oooh, that sounds interesting. Not sure if that is even possible. I am using Z2M currently after I migrated from deCONZ. I updated my Conbee 2 on a windows PC which is not that hard to do. Is that an option for you too?
Thanks a lot for your response. That's actually my question, too update the stick with windows. I wasn't clear enough. Sorry for that. I'm just scared I have to reconnect all my devices after the update. Did you experience any problems after the update?
Hoi Ik had een probleem met het flashen en heb Zigsta gebruikt en dit werkte prima. Maar HA zag de dongel nog steeds niet. Ik heb dagen lopen zoeken en uiteindelijk bleek dat in in Oracle VM waar HA op draaid nog een usb poort moest toewijzen. daarna werkt het als een trein .
Csn't update the stick with 'CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20230507.hex', the latest firmware from the github site. Have tried with 3 different sticks, 2 different PC and cables. The SmartRF stated '>Unknown record type: 3.' Please help.
I can't download the Flash Programmer 2 software from the Texas Instruments site. When I try to create an account I just get a error saying "You cannot access this page" upon completing the registration.
Hi, thanks for the video, I wonder if you got a chance to show us how to use Home Assistant to control POE on/off on the Unifi network? Also, wonder if the control is able to turn on/off firewall...
im stuck, the flasher program dont find my dongle. tried holding button and then connected to computer, wait 10 sec then release, nothing. did i miss anything
Tried it, both the TI site experience and the attempt to update the coordinator were a disaster. Complete fail. It looked like it found four instances of a device on my laptop (Windows 11) and all failed. The behavior of the installer on failure is mostly to exit!! Who wrote this. A good test of any application is when something does not go right, how does it behave. This is a fail.
@Tntdruid I understand you search for good price but first I support the channel and second I claim the package faster, it’s up to you do what you need
Ik denk zomaar dat je uit NL komt als ik wil updaten krijg ik de melding Unknown record type 3. Wet jij misschien wat hiervan het probleem zou kunnen zijn?
I cannot flash my Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus. It does not appear to go into boot loader mode despite pressing on the button closest to the aerial for 20+ seconds. I do not see any change in the light, but you do not mention it either, so I presume the light doesn't flash when in boot loader mode. This would help. When I start the TI flashing software it finds 4 bluetooth devices, but not the Zigbee dongle. Any ideas?
You can only flash the P version using this tutorial. Do you have the P version? Furthermore, check if you have the drivers installed in Windows. They should be installed, but some people experienced they were not installed.
There are now far easier ways of upgrading firmware on those sigbee keys. No need to open the device, no need to download a flahser on a website that refuse new users .. :D
Can you please explain WHY you need to upgrade the device ? Secondly, is this also necessary for the ZBDongle-E version ? Same procedure and same firmware ? Thank You !!!
It's been a long time since your video was posted (it's great and thank you!). I have a ZBDONGLE-E dongle that I cannot connect to the server, so I am asking if it is possible to upgrade the version of the E dongle that is not a P dongle according to your instructions in the above video?

Thank you for a great video. It was just what I was looking for. I am still stumped though. I have followed all the instructions but nothing shows up in the flashing software, even though I have followed the steps to put the stick in bootloader mode. I'm lost?
Thanks a lot. However, Flash Programmer 2 shows no connected devices even though I followed exactly as you did when connecting usb dongle to windows computer. (pressing Boo.. button before and after connect)
"NOTE: The latest Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus ZBDONGLE-E can not be upgraded using this procedure. This new stick is about 5cm in length." what can I do then? pls help!!!
any chance of doing another one showing how to do this on a Mac or on a R-PI (Debian)? ...there are many tutorials how to upgrade, but they all (at least the ones that I can find) assume you have a Windows PC (which I don't). thanks!
I can try, but to be honest, there are so many HA tutorials I have on my planning that I don't think I will find the time to do this in the near future.
Here is a link to update without opening, it also contains the ability to backup your current network. github.com/JelmerT/cc2538-bsl/pull/114#issuecomment-981666618

Bedankt voor deze informatieve video. Het is helaas niet mogelijk om een account aan te maken bij Texas Instruments obv een hotmail-adres. Lijkt dichtgetimmerd ivm exportrestricties voor software. Heb je een alternatieve oplossing hiervoor?
I'm pretty sure that you do not have to do that. The devices should all be there after upgrading, but there are multiple options for a backup depending on what software you use.
duidelijke video Ed, maar zit met een probleem, Flash Programmer 2 ziet de stick niet. stick staat wel gewoon in boot mode. (led brand constant). Enig idee?
En anders de bootloader knop 10 seconden blijven indrukken terwijl je de stick in je computer doet. Volgens mij zegt de rode led alleen maar dat er stroom staat op de stick.
Hello, thank you for the video but i have a question, If I flash it , I lose all the integrations and all sensors ? I don't want to start again with sensors :)
I've been trying to get this going on my zbdonglep after finally getting it to be in bootloader mode The TI flash software says Reading file: C:/[path to]/bin/CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20230507.hex. then says Unknown record type: 3 then fails out resetting the dongle which takes it out of bootloader mode and I have to start over. I realize this video is a year old. maybe someone has had this issue and could help me figure out whats happening. Mine is a zbdonglep. is this firmware good to go as is? doesnt seem to be recognized by the TI software. Im going with a different coordinator and wanted to use this one as a router. nevermind pairing this thing as a router isnt apparent either if I ever get the firmware on it. the chip says cc2652 p1f seems like the same chip to me.
I followed your procedure prefectly, but it failed. The flashing program crashes and closes. There is a message in the comment section but it I'm unable to read because the program crashes so quickly. Of couse, I repeated the procedure on several times on two separate windows computes.
When i update the firmware, do i have to rebuild my whole Home Assistant zigbee network ? I am currently using zigbee2mqtt in Home Asistant in a VM on a Synolgy. Or will the device after the upgrade just reconect to all devices automaticly like it worked before ?
Why would you flash the stick, just to get the latest firmware, like you would update a bios on a pc? HA detected my stick automatically and created a configuration for it
@@leftblank SmartRF is the wrong flashing software if I'm correct. You need the Flash Programmer. I believe that is a different software package on the TI site.

I flashed the stick according to the tutorial. I believe it went well but in HA but I keep getting error 502 BAD GATEWAY. I followed your tips (extension cable, changing channel) but that didn't work either. I'm starting to think that the flashing didn't go well after all. Is there a way to check if the flash went well?
Okay, windows device manage only detected a sonoff stick with no drivers. I installed driver booster with the device installed and it resolved the device not detected fault. Sorted now!
You don't have to update the stick to get it to work with HA, but it supports more concurrent devices if you do. The stick supports all Zigbee devices as long as the software (ZHA. Z2M) supports the devices.
Heb je de juiste software gedownload? Er staan (dacht ik) twee pakketten op die site. Ik had eerst ook de verkeerde en toen zag ik hem ook niet. En anders even goed kijken of je stick wel in boot mode staat. Wellicht iets langer het knopje ingedrukt houden terwijl je hem in je computer steekt.
@@SmartHomeJunkie ik heb de SmartRF(tm) Flash Programmer 2 (ver. 1.8.2) gedownload en geinstalleerd.. en ik hou de voorste button (dichtsbij de USB connector) ingedrukt terwijl ik 'em in m'n USB port steek.. het rode lampje op de printplaat brandt direct bij het insteken en er veranderd niets als ik 20 seconden lang de bootloader knop ingedrukt houd.. m'n 2e stick uit dezelfde 2-pack doet exact hetzelfde. Ik denk dat ik het python script moet gaan zoeken om de stick te gaan flashen; krijg de indruk dat ze het bij de nieuwere sticks hebben aangepast.
ended up using ZigStar and although it took multiple attempts it did flash eventually, make sure the device isnt right next to your laptop or computer as the signal might be interfering with the flashing process / connection.

I tried to flash a sonoff USB 3.0 stick earlier today and failed repeated times. I watch your video 30 minutes ago and I think I understand why so will have another go tomorrow. I hope I get it sorted because I have another 2 coming tomorrow that I want to flash as routers
hi, I tried to update the firmeware as you said but it is not working. looking a little bit on internet, I found out that my Sonoff needs .bin firmware and not .hex, are you aware of that?
I bought one and like to add that the mention that the heatsink look "is just plastic" is incorrect. It feels cold to the touch, it's metal. It might not be a heatsink but it's definitly not plastic.
Yes, you are right.
This usb is very good and cheap
Mine works well, see conflicting info on output gain . Would you like to make video on setting the gain on the P, sonoff explanation a bit vague and confusing. Sonoff box said 20dBm on web site where they compare the P & E says default 5 dBm, adjustable to 20 dBm for the P. Thanks for your videos.
Did you find a way to set the 20dBm in Zigbee2MQTT? I had the Dongle-E, but unstable, now using a Dongle-P, but really would like the 20dBm output...
Hallo Ed,
Dank voor de vele leerzame video's die mij hebben geholpen bij het opzetten van HA. Hierbij heb ik de volgende vraag. In je video's maak je gebruik van de Sonnoff Zigbee 3.0 en de Conbee II USB stick. Ik maak gebruik van ZHA en welke van de 2 zou jij adviseren en waarom, wat zijn de voor en nadelen van beide.
Welke gebruik jij zelf in je productie omgeving?
Groetjes Hayco
thx sir!
You can flash it in Linux whit cc2538-bsl, no need to take it a part.
Windows as well, using python.
I tried to update the firmware and below is the result of the firmware update:
>Initiate access to target: COM5 using 2-pin cJTAG.
>Reading file: C:/Users/ELISHAI/Downloads/CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20230507.hex.
>Unknown record type: 3.
>Reset target...
>Reset of target successful.
The "unknown record type" error suggests that there may be a problem with the firmware file you are trying to program. You may need to obtain a different firmware file or modify the existing file to remove the unrecognized record type.
So there is another firmware file?
Same here.
I had the same issue and after some googling I found that there is an issue with the latest firmware (20230507) and the TI Flash Programmer...Apparently there is nothing wrong with the firmware, the issue sits with e TI Flash Programmer.
Do you also use this Zigbee stick and are you satisfied with it? Or do you think another Zigbee stick is better? Let me know in the comments!
Hi, nice video, many thanks👍
I wonder why you had to update the firmware first on a new stick...., and then I'm surprised that it's not a firmware from the stick manufacturer, but a github version....?
What is the reason for this and what are the advantages compared to the original firmware that is already on the device and also generally compared to the manufacturer's own firmware?
More devices being supported simultaneously
The only person asking WHY. It's not really mentioned anywhere. I have the same questions as you.
New question, how to check the existing firmware?
Great video. Silly question: why does the firmware need updating?
Newer firmware raises the maximum number of devices directly connected to the stick. like, from 40 to 255 iirc. There's also a firmware to turn one of these sticks into a router instead of a coordinator. See this video :
th-cam.com/video/iCE5Z43EKpk/w-d-xo.html
It will raise the number of devices that can be connected to the stick to 255. Also stability tweaks have been done as far as I know.
Can you use this update method after the stick has been in use with ZHA with a few devices and will that update force all devices to be reloaded?
Is there no OTA available for Sonoff?
@@BELSERVICEMAN I believe that all your devices will still be there after the update. Didn't test it though...
Great video again! Are you planning to do a video on how to update a Conbee 2 stick using zha?
Thx. Oooh, that sounds interesting. Not sure if that is even possible. I am using Z2M currently after I migrated from deCONZ. I updated my Conbee 2 on a windows PC which is not that hard to do. Is that an option for you too?
Thanks a lot for your response. That's actually my question, too update the stick with windows. I wasn't clear enough. Sorry for that. I'm just scared I have to reconnect all my devices after the update. Did you experience any problems after the update?
@@WendellCruden Nope, all my devices were still there after that
Great! Will give it a try then.
Hoi Ik had een probleem met het flashen en heb Zigsta gebruikt en dit werkte prima. Maar HA zag de dongel nog steeds niet. Ik heb dagen lopen zoeken en uiteindelijk bleek dat in in Oracle VM waar HA op draaid nog een usb poort moest toewijzen. daarna werkt het als een trein .
Thank you for sharing your experience and troubleshooting process. It's always helpful to hear how others overcome technical challenges.
Great Video, is there away to see what firmware allready is on the stick in HA? I don't know if i have to upgrade the firmware.
I believe so, but I am afk atm. If everything works on your end I would say do not upgrade. 😉
I dont have R pi or any home assistant device, can I still use Dongle ?
Csn't update the stick with 'CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20230507.hex', the latest firmware from the github site. Have tried with 3 different sticks, 2 different PC and cables. The SmartRF stated '>Unknown record type: 3.'
Please help.
Mine ain’t enter boot loader it just shows as sonnoff in device manager
Hi, I tried this procedure but the Flash programmer software doesn't detect the connected dongle, so I can't flash the downloaded firmware.
I can't download the Flash Programmer 2 software from the Texas Instruments site. When I try to create an account I just get a error saying "You cannot access this page" upon completing the registration.
Hi, thanks for the video, I wonder if you got a chance to show us how to use Home Assistant to control POE on/off on the Unifi network? Also, wonder if the control is able to turn on/off firewall...
If I had a Unify network I could... But I do not have that unfortunately.
im stuck, the flasher program dont find my dongle. tried holding button and then connected to computer, wait 10 sec then release, nothing. did i miss anything
Maybe you do not have the drivers installed in Windows? And this only works for the Dongle-P.
Tried it, both the TI site experience and the attempt to update the coordinator were a disaster. Complete fail. It looked like it found four instances of a device on my laptop (Windows 11) and all failed. The behavior of the installer on failure is mostly to exit!! Who wrote this. A good test of any application is when something does not go right, how does it behave. This is a fail.
Thanks again, it’s really cheap product cost around 24€ , I bought one ☝️ 👌🏻
Got 2 for like 12$ each, on AliExpress on a sale.
@Tntdruid I understand you search for good price but first I support the channel and second I claim the package faster, it’s up to you do what you need

Ik denk zomaar dat je uit NL komt als ik wil updaten krijg ik de melding Unknown record type 3. Wet jij misschien wat hiervan het probleem zou kunnen zijn?
I cannot flash my Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus. It does not appear to go into boot loader mode despite pressing on the button closest to the aerial for 20+ seconds. I do not see any change in the light, but you do not mention it either, so I presume the light doesn't flash when in boot loader mode. This would help.
When I start the TI flashing software it finds 4 bluetooth devices, but not the Zigbee dongle.
Any ideas?
You can only flash the P version using this tutorial. Do you have the P version? Furthermore, check if you have the drivers installed in Windows. They should be installed, but some people experienced they were not installed.
There are now far easier ways of upgrading firmware on those sigbee keys. No need to open the device, no need to download a flahser on a website that refuse new users .. :D
There are multiple ways to Rome 😉 I'll refresh this video one day.
There's a 15% off discount coupon code in the description for you. Go get it while it's still valid!
Can you please explain WHY you need to upgrade the device ? Secondly, is this also necessary for the ZBDongle-E version ? Same procedure and same firmware ? Thank You !!!
See the description of the video for upgrading the Dongle-E.
Upgrading makes it more stable and sorts more devices simultaneously.
Thanks, any reason why I would upgrade from my current zigbee 2 dongle? Aside from number of additional connected devices? Cheers
Not sure to be honest.
It's been a long time since your video was posted (it's great and thank you!). I have a ZBDONGLE-E dongle that I cannot connect to the server, so I am asking if it is possible to upgrade the version of the E dongle that is not a P dongle according to your instructions in the above video?
See this video for that: Install Zigbee2MQTT THE RIGHT WAY with the Sonoff ZBDongle E in Home Assistant - Tutorial

Yes, install the drivers for the stick first.
Thank you for sharing the great videos. I always follow your TH-cam channel and I love the videos you post . Currently I am struggling with the sonff stick using the ZHA . At first it connected and later gave me some error. The error is “failed to set up”. Is there any way you can help with this please ?

This is probably wayyyy too late, but you need to do the first step where you hold the button again.
I downloaded SmartRF Flash Programmer 2, and have my dongle connected to my PC. However I am unable to find any Connected devices in the left panel. I tried refresh and it didn't work. Can someone help?
i have ordered this sonoff device, but can't get it to work, also in the flashsoftware i don't see it. In the device manager i see the sonoff zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus but with an explinationmark, can you help me to get this working? kind regards

ps. Great video!
Hello! thanks for your great video; in the current situation, should I take the sonoff stick or wait for skyconnect? are there any differences?
The SkyConnect sports Matter in the future. The Sonoff Dongle-E might support that too in the future, but that's not clear yet.
@@SmartHomeJunkie Thanks for your response, I'll stay tuned for updates

Thank you for a great video. It was just what I was looking for. I am still stumped though. I have followed all the instructions but nothing shows up in the flashing software, even though I have followed the steps to put the stick in bootloader mode. I'm lost?

Please check if you need to install drivers in Windows for this dongle.
"NOTE: The latest Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus ZBDONGLE-E can not be upgraded using this procedure. This new stick is about 5cm in length."

Did you read the description of this video? I already created a note about that and a link to a video on how to update the Dongle-E.
any chance of doing another one showing how to do this on a Mac or on a R-PI (Debian)? ...there are many tutorials how to upgrade, but they all (at least the ones that I can find) assume you have a Windows PC (which I don't). thanks!
I can try, but to be honest, there are so many HA tutorials I have on my planning that I don't think I will find the time to do this in the near future.

@@SmartHomeJunkie fair enough 😀
Currently one information is missing, how to check installed fw version before and after update ;)
Yes, you can check this in Zigbee2MQTT in Settings - About
Thanks for the video. I'm already using the device. Any chance I can update without the need to reconnect all the zigbee devices all over again?
I didn't really test that. Not sure what happens if you backup your settings in ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT and then restore it afterwards.
Here is a link to update without opening, it also contains the ability to backup your current network. github.com/JelmerT/cc2538-bsl/pull/114#issuecomment-981666618

How to backup client zigbee devices during upgrade to new firmware?
I'm pretty sure that you do not have to do that. The devices should all be there after upgrading, but there are multiple options for a backup depending on what software you use.
If you need Zwave and Zigbee do you recommend a combination stick, or dedicated Zwave and Zigbee sticks? Does it matter?
I cannot help you with that because I do not use zwave.
duidelijke video Ed, maar zit met een probleem, Flash Programmer 2 ziet de stick niet. stick staat wel gewoon in boot mode. (led brand constant). Enig idee?
sorry, heb het denk ik al, moet stuurprogramma's bijwerken
En anders de bootloader knop 10 seconden blijven indrukken terwijl je de stick in je computer doet. Volgens mij zegt de rode led alleen maar dat er stroom staat op de stick.
Gelukt, stuurprogramma's bijwerken was genoeg, bedankt
@@rkoekkoek6883 Love it!!!
Is it still the newest firmware? Or where can I find a newer one?
Hello, thank you for the video but i have a question, If I flash it , I lose all the integrations and all sensors ? I don't want to start again with sensors :)
I'm not sure anymore to be honest. If you have a backup in Zigbee2MQTT, you should be able to restore them.
I've been trying to get this going on my zbdonglep after finally getting it to be in bootloader mode The TI flash software says Reading file: C:/[path to]/bin/CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20230507.hex. then says Unknown record type: 3 then fails out resetting the dongle which takes it out of bootloader mode and I have to start over. I realize this video is a year old. maybe someone has had this issue and could help me figure out whats happening. Mine is a zbdonglep. is this firmware good to go as is? doesnt seem to be recognized by the TI software. Im going with a different coordinator and wanted to use this one as a router. nevermind pairing this thing as a router isnt apparent either if I ever get the firmware on it. the chip says cc2652 p1f seems like the same chip to me.
I followed your procedure prefectly, but it failed. The flashing program crashes and closes. There is a message in the comment section but it I'm unable to read because the program crashes so quickly. Of couse, I repeated the procedure on several times on two separate windows computes.
Flashing only works on the Dongle-P, not on the Dongle-E. This might be the issue.
@@SmartHomeJunkie No, I have the P dongle.
@@edjurkowski Can be many things really. The most common issue is that people do not have the right drivers for the stick installed.
When i update the firmware, do i have to rebuild my whole Home Assistant zigbee network ? I am currently using zigbee2mqtt in Home Asistant in a VM on a Synolgy.
Or will the device after the upgrade just reconect to all devices automaticly like it worked before ?
Same question from me. I only would do a FW update if the Zigbee network setup is left untouched.
Running Homeassistant in a VM on Synology NAS... dongle is not auto-detected? Any ideas?
Make sure your USB port is exposed to the VM
Why would you flash the stick, just to get the latest firmware, like you would update a bios on a pc? HA detected my stick automatically and created a configuration for it
After update it supports 200 devices instead of 40.
That sure sounds like a good reason to 😊 thanks for the quick response
Love your videos!
Never a good idea to power up any transiever without a loading antenna as it can cause damage to the device
You need to mention the drivers needed or windows won't recognize the dongle.
I didn't need to install any drivers. Might be that they were already on my system? 🤷🏼
@@SmartHomeJunkie Definitely. Without the drivers installed it wouldn't work.
@@tldr365 Might be, but I'm sure I did not have to install a driver manually. Anyway, thanks for this addition!

@@PeterdeMooij It should give you some clue about what's wrong. Might take 10 minutes before an error is visible in the log.

Can the stick work with Tuya zigbee devices? And do I have to upgrade the firmware to make the stick work with HA?
You don't have to update the stick to get it to work with HA, but it supports more concurrent devices if you do. The stick supports all Zigbee devices as long as the software (ZHA. Z2M) supports the devices.
