Thanks. I finally found this out after tinkering a bit. I’ve been running ember for a couple days now and it seems to be working just as well as EZSP.
What are the benefits of switching to ember and not staying on EZSP?
No more development on the EZSP driver
Thanks. Uploaded version 7.4.2.0 and works as expected.
EmberZNet coordinator type is displayed in Z2M.
? Not sure what I am to do here?
Isn’t this somewhat cryptic?
And exactly how please?
I can change from “ezsp” to “ember” as much as I like, it always goes automatically back to “ezsp”?

Did you flash 7.4.1 or 7.4.3 firmware ?
I am flashing this one:
https://github.com/darkxst/silabs-firmware-builder/raw/main/firmware_builds/zbdonglee/ncp-uart-hw-v7.4.1.0-zbdonglee-115200.gbl
Blindly …
The above FW seems to do the job. I was able to switch to “ember”.
Got a lot of new error messages tough… Does anyone know what they mean?

could it be possible there are still some reminants of the “ezsp” in my network?
Very few (2 out of 62) nodes are not responsive anymore. In the error message there is a mention of “EZSP”, where I am currently on “ember”.
Or maybe just a coincidence?
Maybe try to re-pair those.
Anyone try and move to ‘ember’ for a HUSBZB-1 coordinator? It otherwise has been working great using the ‘ezsp’ adapter type, but it’s not listed as a supported adapter for Z2M and not sure what the consequences are.
I don’t think it is possible. The HUSBZB uses an ancient chipset that does not support recent Silabs SDK’s.
Welp, thanks.
Guess it’s finally time to upgrade to the Sonoff I’ve been putting off for ever.
I have Sonoff ZBDongle 3.0 Plus V2. How can I know my current firmware version? Can you help me please? I’m using unraid and HA as docker.
As mentioned that will never be possible, it is based old decapitated hardware so you need to buy a newer adapter as it will never get any newer firmware this older community build of EmberZNet 6.7.8 here → GitHub - walthowd/husbzb-firmware: Nortek GoControl HUSBZB-1 / EM3581 Firmware update image
Be sure to buy a newer model with a more modern chip so you do not need to buy another soon again, see here:
How about the SkyConnect? I flashed the updated firmware and changed to ember but Z2m wont start. I changed back to ezsp
I am using HA Yellow, and " Home Assistant Add-on: Silicon Labs Flasher Add-on".
This addon loades a 7.3.x.x firmware, not 7.4.x.x
Has anyone upgraded the firmware on the Yellow tio 7.4.x.x?
I upgrade το 7.4.3 ,with the intention of improving the potential connection issues I had with my devices. However, after the upgrade and the switch to ember, things are worse, as shown in the logs here:

Here are the devices I have:
I am facing many issues related to data updates; they are not stable at all. Even the sensor that is close to the Zigbee adapter does not receive data every 3 minutes as I want it to.
Compared to the Xiaomi Humidity Monitor 2, which is Bluetooth, it is much more stable and has never disconnected. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong. All I want is for the two Aqara WSDCGQ11LM devices I have to send me data every 3 minutes.
have you found the way to check the current firmware?
