A couple questions about the SMLIGHT SLZB-06

Configuration Zigbee
1

I have an SLZB-06 as my Zigbee coordinator, and HA and my Zigbee network are working fine. There are just a couple of things I’m curious about.

The SLZB-06 is running firmware 2.5.6 and I can see it with the SLZB-06 integration, as well as via its web interface. HA is up to date.

First, when I look at the web interface, the Mode selection looks like this:

Now, it’s working as the Coordinator, so why does it not show that turned on? Is it the case that since its default role is Coordinator, I didn’t need to turn it on here? Would it hurt anything if I did?

Second, in the integrations Configuration section, it shows the Zigbee firmware as unknown:

Is that normal? Would it appear if I turned the Coordinator switch on?

Again, everything is working so I don’t need to do anything, and I hesitate to make a change just to see what happens, as I don’t want to mess something up.

If anyone can enlighten me I’d appreciate it.

FWIW, I have the SLZB-06 with ZHA, running over wifi, and my firmware sensor shows up-to-date.

Last I checked, the latest non-dev firmware is 20221226 v2.5.8, so if you’re on 2.5.6 you might want to look into updating. That may solve the firmware reporting problem.

I have mine set to “Coordinator” but I installed mine several months ago and don’t recall if I set that manually or it was already set like that. I don’t see how setting it would harm anything.

Follow-up:

I went ahead and changed the setting to Coordinator, and it downloaded firmware, installed and rebooted, and everything came up just as it was.

The Zigbee firmware still didn’t show up, so I deleted the device and let it get discovered again. This time it showed the Zigbee firmware as up-to-date.

So it was worth doing these steps.
