How to update conbee firmware from Hassbian?

There is an update according to deCONZ, but when I click it nothing seems to happen. GCFFlasher_internal, was referenced somewhere for a manual update, but the command does not exist in rasberry pi.

I run deCONZ in a docker.

You need to follow the instructions from the docker GitHub. You will need to run scripts over ssh in the container

So, I have the same problem deconz says there is a new firmware version but the web UI doesn’t install it.
The instructions I have found, unless I am on the wrong track, want me to make changes to hassio so I can ssh as a developer into a lower level than standard ssh allows. This emphasises that it is not for end users. Am I in the wrong place? Is there a simpler way.

I’m running deconz inside HA as an add-on.

I want the firmware update to hopefully stop my xiaomi switches disappearing after an hour or two.

Are you running Hass.io? If yes, here is a how-to for Hass.io

# Upgrading RaspBee and ConBee firmware

Firmware upgrades from the web UI will fail silently. Instead, an interactive utility script is provided as part of the Hass.io add-on image that you must use to flash your device's firmware. Follow these instructions to upgrade your firmware.

## Step 1 - Enable SSH access to the Hass.io host

Follow the steps outlined here to enable SSH access: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/hassio_debugging.html.

## Step 2 - Run the firmware upgrade script

**Note: You may need to remove other USB devices (e.g. a Z-Wave stick) temporarily while flashing Conbee if the update process below fails.**

1. Check your deCONZ add-on logs for the update firmware file name. Look for lines near the beginning of the log that look like this, noting the .CGF file name listed (you'll need this later):
```
GW update firmware found: /usr/share/deCONZ/firmware/deCONZ_Rpi_0x261e0500.bin.GCF
GW firmware version: 0x261c0500
GW firmware version shall be updated to: 0x261e0500
```

Alternatively you can log into your Hass.io host over SSH (set up in step 1) and run this command to extract the GCF line:

My solution was to install deconz on my pc and plug in the usb device. It promptly upgraded it. Popped it back into pi and all done.
