IKEA devices not upgrading firmware

[Hedda]

Hmm, do you have old config? I thought OTA for IKEA had been specifically disabled by default in ZHA?

But be glad, you do not want to just upgrade all anyway to later IKEA firmware because those newer firmware are infamously known to have bugs, see warnings that ZHA integration have about updating Zigbee device firmware if devices are working fine (do not try to fix what is not broken):

• https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha#ota-updates-of-zigbee-device-firmware

Zigbee2MQTT documentation has a similar warning:

• https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/usage/ota_updates.html

If you want ot know more MattWestb maintained a matrix and discussion thread about IKEA firmware here (that discussion thread has however not been updated in 6-months so things might have changed since):

Anyway, the most common reason for Zigbee OTA firmware update failure is due to eother EMF interference or having to few Zigbee Router (Zigbee repeaters/extenders) devices and long distances, read + follow this:

Who is this guide for? I have tried to make this guide to be a comprehensive collection of the most basic yet essential tips with a set of actions and best practice steps that should be applicable to all types of Zigbee setups, regardless of what type of Zigbee adapter/gateway/hub/bridge/devices that you are using. This guide is meant for both those who are new to Zigbee as well as those who been using Zigbee devices for years but might not been aware of the underlying prerequisites to optimiz…
