Z-Wave Future....

[SweetGenius]

3rd UZB and it appeared to upgrade. (Via GUI) I upgraded from 5.27 to 5.36. Then upgraded to 5.36 to 5.39. @rafale77 , Since you are on 5.39, does your show anything in the SDK Version line? Mine did before the upgrade to 5.39.

On the firmware upgrade page it shows this now. But they do nothing.

[rafale77]

It is normal. No I am not seeing an SDK version because... it is too new. This will apparently will be fixed in the next version of z-way. It is in fact 6.82.1

Thanks Rafale77 for your patience/help. Now I have to jump over to your GitHub page/directions for copying my existing ZWave NW from Vera onto the ZWay.Me and get the existing security key

[rafale77]

Great! Let me know if you need any help or if the documentation needs improvements.

Hi @rafale77 or any others in this coMmunity who might be able to help., I‘m looking to upgrade my UZB USB module, - which is plugged into to a USB hub on my PI - to the latest firmware..

Using the guide here..
https://z-wave.me/zmeserialupdater-manual/

I’ve so far done the following..

wget https://z-wave.me/download/ZMESerialUpdater.tgz
tar -zxvf ZMESerialUpdater.tgz 
cd ZMESerialUpdater/arm/
chmod +x ZMESerialUpdater

To be sure the software is working and also to check what FW I currently have - I ran the following command.

pi@raspberrypi:~/ZMESerialUpdater/arm $ sudo ./ZMESerialUpdater serialapi_uzbupdate -d /dev/ttyACM0

Which gave me this...

The next steps seems to be to find the latest firmware, and that’s where things get a little confusing, as it basically tells you to go and find it via this - https://service.z-wave.me/expertui/uzb-stats/versions-graph.html. and that’s where I get lost ..

It seems to be suggesting that I need to build my own url (using the following construct below) to download it..

https://service.z-wave.me/expertui/uzb/add-file_name-here?

[rafale77]

I would recommend running the upgrade through the z-way-server expert UI if you can. It makes things a lot simpler. Using the firmware tool works better but is a bit of a learning curve. Indeed if you open the version graph, you need to find which firmware version you currently are on and clicking on the corresponding dot on the graph opens a simple page listing all the url of every possible downgrade/firmware available from that version. This is where you get the url to use with the tool...

[parkerc]

Thanks

I downloads the software and installed the zway stuff, and then useD the ‘ExpertUI’ as described to update the firmware and boot loader; interestingly their website says the latest version is 5.39. - https://z-wave.me/support/uzbrazberry-firmwares/

Yet, It seems while I was originally only on 5.05, after two upgrades 5.06 and 5.07 - the software tells me I’m now all up to date.. yet it’s reporting I’m on 5.07..

Here’s my updated report.. ..

[SweetGenius]

Did you try typing all in the token field ?

[parkerc]

Hi @SweetGenius, sorry, I’m new to these modules and this whole process

What do you mean by the ‘token field’ ?
Is it the ‘Action Token’ one, shared in the screen shot above?
If so, what goes in there ?

Is this where the licensing comes in ?
Can you only go so far with the firmware upgrades ?

[rafale77]

@parkerc

On the firmware update page you should see this:

Which where you can input the "all" token so you can see all available update paths.

[parkerc]

Hi, thanks I’ve put ‘all’ in and it provided me with a list, however it still says I’m using the latest firmware ?

Also it’s a bit confusing and they mention 5.07 and 5.7 - not sure if that’s an error and they mean the same (5.07)....

[rafale77]

You should go to 5.27 as the first step. Check in the firmware map to make sure it isn't a dead end. Also you appear to have a boot loader upgrade available too but need to check whether it is a downgrade again from the firmware map.

[parkerc]

Hi @rafale77

The map is not the easiest thing to read ? - https://service.z-wave.me/expertui/uzb-stats/versions-graph.html?hw=277&with_hidden image attached is just the active ones

Am I on 5.07, or 5.7? If so, is 5.7 to 5.27 not a downgrade, rather than an upgrade ? The command line firmware tool seems to suggest I‘m on 5.07. How do you read it to work out the bootloader? I can’t see the 7278 mention via the expert Ui?

[rafale77]

5.07 = 5.7, it would be called 5.70 which doesn't exist.
Also you should try clicking the "all" map which corresponds to the "all" token in the z-way server. Once you find the bootloader and firmware version you are currently running, the map shows you to to get to where you want to go. It's actually pretty intuitive once you get the hang of it. On this map for example you can see that 5.7/40196 appears to be a dead end (have to check the all map to see the whole thing)

[parkerc]

Ok, clicking on UZB all and then 5.7, it gives me the following..

The second one relates to the bootloader upgrade option that’s presented.. is it suggesting I update the bootloader first ?

[rafale77]

I went to read the map myself and here are the steps I would take:
5.7 -> 5.7 40196 BL -> 5.27 ->5.36 ->5.39

So yes Bootloader first in general but need to read the version.

Also there is a hex to dec you need to do to understand the numbering. 7278 is 29304 and is likely a bootloader downgrade. You need to know what version of bootloader you are on right now.

[parkerc]

Using the control ‘Show Controller Data’ option, it looks like my bootloader is 40196

So based on your recommendation I would do the following..

Update bootloader to 7278
Update firmware to 5.25
Update firmware to 5.36
Update firmware to 5.39

[parkerc]

Just to confused matters,

I’ve upgraded the bootloader to 7278, and the information in the system has changed to 29304

And I’m now presented with another bootloader option..

This time.. 9d04 , which hex to Dec = 40196 - which means I downgraded the bootloader ?

This is turning out to be far more complicated than I thought - I had hoped the expert UI would guide me through the required sequence so I have the latest version .

So now we have 5.22 and 5.23 added In to the mix ?

Sorry for all the questions

[rafale77]

So indeed as I said 7278 seems to be a downgrade. I wouldn’t have run the boot loader update knowing that my boot loader number was already higher. Sorry for not being clear. You indeed need to be on 40196 and then move on from there as I described from my previous post.

[parkerc]

Thanks for all the guidance @rafale77

I’ve reapplied the bootloader update, and have started to go through the incremental firmware updates..

Update : What’s interesting is after going to 5.25, it gives me two sideways options of ‘normal’ and ‘bridge’ version ?

Assuming it’s knows what it’s doing - and to try to keep moving on, after going to 5.26, (which admittedly was not in our earlier list), I now have the following options .

Trying to work out the correct path to take (factoring what ‘active; and what not) is a puzzle in itself_

All..
Active ..

Looking at the published firmware releases, is that the path I ultimate want to take ?

So, that would suggest 5.27 firmware (not bridge) next - rather than 5.33 ? (Any idea why there are all duplicates ?)
