Fantastic!
My ZCC is arriving by courier today I think. Do you know whether the firmware version is one that is an automatic upgrade? I remember earlier on there was a need to request a new firmware be provided:
I suppose I’ll know the answer myself when I get a chance to test myself.
im keen to try this out, I have the fan controller, power points, light switches 
Just a quick update, we are working very closely with the core Zimi dev team now. There are some cool updates to the API that we can take advantage of however this means the current alpha version we were about to release likely won’t work for many. I’ll give an update on status soon.
That is such a good thing to hear. I hope they stay with you, unlike others (looking at you Tuya).
Happy to run beta version on Zimi box if we need lol
I’ve just plugged in and connected my ZCC for the first time. It looks like it updates its own firmware? I couldn’t find how to in the app, but it says it’s running 20220110010011. I guess that’s Jan 10th 2022.
Haven’t done anything else yet, oh apart from apparently bricking the garage door controller by initiating a firmware update on that device! Emailed the zimi support line.
I have no idea how to update the firmware. That is probably a question for Trader tech support.
Believe you request a beta firmware from zimi and pass along the mac of the device an they send it thru
Actually, I think recall them telling me exactly that now that you mention it.
Just had 30 devices installed so am 100% fully ready to play when its ready
Hi all,
Apologies for the sporadic updates, just jobs / life / fun +zimi make for busy times. Don’t confuse lack of updates with lack of progress.
Had a good meeting with the zimi team last week and are in regular contact - they have been very supportive. We decided to get the previous version to a “final” state before upgrading the code to the 1.2 firmware everyone is on. This was good as we were able to squeeze even more performance out of it. Except for the occasional hiccup, which we need more data to trace, I am pretty sure you will be pleased with performance now.
We moved to 1.2 last night and have already established the comms via the new API model. There are a few more hours of work to get everything functioning under this change (plus thinking and testing time) but we are really pushing to get a alpha release out ASAP. We just need to balance getting some out for you that is usable and you can help refine verses a hot mess that will annoy people.
The even better news is that the Zimi team have already implemented some of our feedback and more has been put in the pipeline.
I’ll update after the weekend.
As I understand it everyone should automatically have been pushed the 20220110010011 version. The exception may be if you were one of the few who reached out early to get the first beta. If you are not on 20220110010011 just email the support team with a picture of the back of your ZCC and they will push the new version (and subsequent updates) over the air.
I have found the garage door to be one of the naughtier devices. I had to update the control module via the phone app and rest button, failed a few times before I got it to stick but has been ok for a few months now.
If it fails again I’ll investigate a bit further.
That’s good to hear. Support called me back and recommended I install the app on my wife iPhone, as the Android app ‘firmware update resuming’ has a bug in it (or Androids bug l, not sure). In any case it worked, but not sure if it was just the iPhone being there, or power cycling the controller just that 1 more time two days after the last attempt - but it just booted up fine without the expected prompt on the phone.
good shout, Few powerpoints and switches need firmware updates so ill be sure to use my iphone over any others android devices
how we looking for some sort of release this weekend, haha i know im impatient i know it’ll be great when its out
If anyone is keen to help with some testing send me a PM. Still a few issues but we’d like some additional feedback and validation across a broader install base.
message sent
Keen to test as well have 4 switches
Wondering if, with this add on, there is a way to control the Zimi devices directly from the home assistant server or does home assistant control the devices via the Zimi hub?
