Sonoffs Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus Firmware Upgrade - Lose configuration?

[johnyb]

I want to update my firmware on this device but not sure if doing so loses my zigbee network configuration? I use ZHA and can see there is an option to ‘backup’ the configuration but none for restore (just migrate) so not sure how I would restore it if the firmware update does wipe it.
Thanks

I’ve just upgraded the firmware on mine and it retained everything.

Edit: I’m not sure if this makes a difference as things are either retained or they are not, but I use Z2M in my stick,

What method did you use to update, I cant get it to work?

I also use z2m. I used this script:

Sonoffs Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus Firmware

Below is the script I use to update the firmware under Linux. I run it from my HA container since all the cc2538-bsl pre-reqs are already installed. There is no need to open the dongle and press buttons. Just plug in the stick and run. Much easier than all the Windows nonsense folks like to suggest. You may need to disable ZHA/Z2M if they have control of the port. This is a VERY QUICK and VERY DIRTY script, it wasn’t really meant for public consumption. Maybe someone can do a proper versi…

Turn off z2m. Update the firmware file in the script (if desired). Run the file in homeassistant terminal. May need to run: pip3 install pyserial intelhex if memory serves

Be careful, load the wrong firmware and you are out of luck.

Not only am I Z2M, but I am also on a Mac and followed these instructions.

Worked just fine after firmware update, thanks for confirming
