Update ConBee (deCONZ) to latest beta... How?

[Minglarn]

Hi!

How can I update my conbee to latest beta?
I've 2.05.64 and i've seen 2.05.67 as latest beta.

I've have problems with battery levels for my Xiaomi (AQARA) multisensors. Domoticz (and deCONZ) thinks the battery is low.
Seen that this has been resolved in new FW for the ConBee stick..

I've done the

Code: Select all

wget https://www.dresden-elektronik.de/rpi/deconz/beta/deconz-2.05.67-qt5.deb

How to proceed ?

Ha yes, I remember this bug.

First make a backup.

Then, there is lot of way to update deconz, if you have a raspberry with Visual server (X11) just use Chromium to donwload the file and double clic on it.

If you have headless system.
1 - first shut off deconz with "sudo systemctl stop deconz"
2 -

Code: Select all

wget https://www.dresden-elektronik.de/deconz/raspbian/beta/deconz-2.05.67-qt5.deb
sudo dpkg -i deconz-2.05.67-qt5.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -f

But now they use a new method > https://phoscon.de/en/conbee2/install#raspbian

Thanks for the info... but the "new" way is for ConBee II only?

[Thorgal789]

Right, but it's the same for Conbee 1 > https://phoscon.de/en/conbee/install#raspbian

And after having updated deconz, go to phoscon/setting/gateway to update the firmware. I have never used command line for that.

Done!
Now i've the battery fixed!

Question...

Why is the "Trend" not updated with deCONZ temperature sensors?

Result from JSON...

      }
   ],

With Philips HUE plugin it updates the trend value but not with deCONZ... You know why?

[Thorgal789]

Good question.
It's a little arrow, just at left of temperature, the arrow can go up or down according to trend.
It seem this feature is something internal and don't work for python plugin, or I haven't found how to enable it.
