Update FW of RFX433E in Docker

Post by wvries »

Hi,

I am running DZ in docker for some time now and no problems.
I was looking at the FW of my receiver and wanted to update to the latest one.

Am I going crazy or is there no option to update the FW of the RFXCOM device in DZ Docker ?

Firmware update option has been removed on request as this was not working 100% and could cause some dangerous issues.
Therefor you just need to update via the RFXFlash application

Seems you are drawing the wrong conclusion here.... Updating firmware by Domoticz can cause dangerous issues (brick?)!!

As far as I know:
After downloading the manager to a computer, upgrading the firmware and configuring is possible if you connect the device to a laptop.

Saves time I guess😑

Would be, but I have either Linux or MacOS, so no windows....
And windows emulator on Mac is not working for this (tried and failed)

So just install a quick DZ on an older RPI...

You should be able to use wine to run the RFXFlash utility.
You can also install a fresh windows copy and use it for free the first month(s)
For mac, you can use parallels
