Eve Energy Matter firmware update error

Pretty sure that after 30-50 tries on each of the devices over the last 3 month it will not magically change.

My first eve energy came with 3.5.0. Then I got eve weather on 3.3.0 which was a nightmare to update. Other people reported that shutting every thread device off and bringing eve weather next to the border router (zbt-1 in my case) so it connects to it directly solves the problem. So I did that and placed it a meter away from the dongle. Worked on the first or second attempt for most people in that topic. Took me what seems over 30 or so. At the very end I placed the weather and the dongle like 20 cm apart and it still took two or three attempts but then it finally updated.

Then I got three more eve energy. Two came with 3.2.1, the 3rd one is still unboxed. Both updated first try though. First one is was most likely connected directly to the dongle - its like one meter away, the 2nd is a bit further and there are two nanoleafs and an eve energy in the way - not sure how it’s connected (zigbee like network visualization hello?) but it also updated on the first try.

But judging from my experience with eve weather, try placing your eve energy like 20 cm away from your thread border router and shut every other thread device off if you can, then give it a couple more tries. It really does feel magical lol.

Edit: Also, I suggest making a backup prior to updating since some entities get doubled. I like to remove the device in matter integration, rollback the backup and reset and re-pair the device after it updates to 3.5.0 to avoid doing it manually and messing something up :smiley: I’m keeping my fabric as neat and tidy as I can until something inevitably dies and I’m forced to replace it xd
