Hi.

I’m new to this community and want to present my first hass-io addon to flash the zigbee usbstick CC2531.

My Home Assistant is running on a rapberry pi using hass-io. To get zigbee working with home assistant I decided to use the CC2531. I have implementet the instructions from this blog to flash the firmware needed for zigebee2mqtt. After you have added my repository and installed the add-on, you need to connect the cc2531 to your raspberry py. Start the add-on and it will download the firmware Koenkk github repo, make a backup to the backup folder of home assistant and flash the new firmware. Currently the firmware file is hardcoded, so it will only use the version 20190608.

You can find the add-on repository on github under https://github.com/imthemichi/hassio-flashcc2531.

Comments are welcome! Maybe you give it a try. :wink:

Congratulations, you’ve encouraged me to make an account.

This worked flawless!
I only ordered the CC2531 from China. So when it arrived and I wanted to get it up&running I found out I was missing the debug parts. Should have read a little bit more before ordering :slight_smile:

With this guide and some creative soldering of 4 jumper wires I got it working.
Actually the soldering was probably the most work :slight_smile:

I wish this would get more attention because it saves a lot of hassle. Especially for the new folks like me.
