Hi everyone, we know a lot of people are using SONOFF ZBDongle-E and ZBDongle-P, but having difficulties managing its firmware.
SONOFF has developed a Web tool called SONOFF Dongle Flasher which makes it very easy to manage ZBDongle’s firmware. But it has one drawback: it requires users to has physical access to the ZBDongle (unplug the ZBDongle from HA, and then plug it to a PC/MAC), which means users can not do the flashing remotely.
Now the iHost Open Source Project has released SONOFF Dongle Flasher add-on v1.1.0 which is basically an HA add-on version of the Web tool SONOFF Dongle Flasher, but it allows you to manage ZBDongle’s firmware remotely.
The v1.1.0 add-on is available in armv7, aarch64, amd64 architecture, so you can use it not only on iHost, but also on other HAOS installations.
It supports flashing Zigbee Coordinator, Thead, Multiprotocol, 3rd-party firmware onto SONOFF ZBDongle-E (Silicon Labs MG21 chip), and Zigbee Coordinator, 3rd-party firmware on to SONOFF ZBDongle-P (TI CC2652p chip).
For those who are interested, please give it a try and let us know if it works for you.
