Zigate update?

[tjabas]

Hi!

i have been using the zigate usb version for a couple of years now,i think its the first zigate version they made.
yesterday i updated the plugin and now i get alot of error messages in the domtoticz log, and i think i need to update the zigate hardware.
since its been some years since the last firmware update, i have forgotten how i made the update, the current firmware is: Firmware version: 031a

Does anyone know where i can find the lates firmware for my zigate stick?
i have searched on the zigate.fr website, but it seems to be a jungle of firmwares and there is some new zigate devices as well, i need to get the right firmware so i dont brick it.

thanks in advance

Firmware is in the plugin. See the plugin wiki https://zigbeefordomoticz.github.io/wik ... mware.html

Did you have the IP of the domoticz server added to trusted networks en Domoticz menu setup settings?

Were you able to update the usb stick with the latest firmware (not related to this error)?

no i have not added the domoticz ip to the trusted network, i will try that.
and no i havent updated the usb stick,can that be the problem?
i have searched for the right firmware for my zigate stick, but there is a jungle of firmwares out there and i havent found the right one, do i loose all the settings and nodes when i update?

[waltervl]

I gave you a link to the wiki of zigate plugin. It shows how to update the firmware. The firmware is already on your Domoticz plugin folder. You can use one of them. Normally you will not lose the pairings with devices.

thanks for your answer.

i tried to update the zigate but it seems like i dont have the ./build-Jennic.sh,
i do have the cd Tools folder.
cd Tools
./build-Jennic.sher.

[waltervl]

It should be build-jennic.sh see the source https://github.com/zigbeefordomoticz/Do ... ble6/Tools

Perhaps do a new plugin update to get everything updated.

[tjabas]

i have now tried everything but i cant get jennic installed, i have also updated the plugin, but nothing helps,i have tried: cd Tools
./build-Jennic.sh
and also : sudo apt install jennic-module-programmer zigate-flasher

but it just wont work.

and to update the zigate plugin is just to git pull?

[waltervl]

It worked for me without any problems if following the instructions.

for updating the plugin see also the ZfD wiki: https://zigbeefordomoticz.github.io/wik ... gin-update
It depends on what version you are.

[tjabas]

i have tried everything now, nothing works, but im thinking of removing the zigate plugin and reinstall it again, what happens to my zigbee devices in domoticz if i remove and install the plugin again, will the also be removed or will they still be there?

[tjabas]

I have now deleted and reinstalled the zigbee plugin, but nothing works now, what am i doing wrong?

The update commands do not have issues?
i had to do the update commands with sudo.

[pipiche]

Yes, you have to use sudo because domoticz is most-likely running root.
Now if you are on version 6, you can also upgrade directly from the WebUI > Admin > Plugin > Upgrade . In that case it will be having the right access right as it will be launched inside domotciz

[tjabas]

so i mananged so sudo the whole installation after deleting the Domoticz-Zigate folder, i now have a Domoticz-zigbee folder instead, but ofcourse it wont work.
the firmware version of the stick seems old, i have 031a, i have tired to update it using the jennic metod , but i keep getting a couldnt set baudrate error, and it seems like all of my nodes of the stick is gone in domoticz, they are all red marked.

im starting to loose hope.

can i upgrade the stick in any other way? and if so, where can i find the correct firmare?

[waltervl]

The easiest way is to put the stick in a windows PC and update with a downloadable update program. See zigate website: https://zigate.fr/documentation/mise-a- ... la-zigate/

[tjabas]

thank you for your help, i managed to udate the zigate stick, but unfortunately i flashed the wrong firmware, i seems relly hard to find the correct one, i find alot of firmwares for the zigate, but none of the tells which zigate its for.
i flashed this one : https://github.com/fairecasoimeme/ZiGat ... v2-320.bin
i have a zigate usb version 1, which one is the latest and where can i download it?

thanks.

[waltervl]

You can download them from here https://github.com/fairecasoimeme/ZiGate/releases
As the pairing is gone now I would go for the 3.23 opdm version.
