recently I started to have battery issues on my aeotec temperature sensors (ZWA039) running fw 2.1.1
I tried to update this even with an external controller tool, but failed.
out of a sudden I found today, that some devices on my zwave network popped up in Settings > Updates
So obviously the zwave-js update function evolved and finds the newer fw on its own.
However, I started updating the first device more than one hour ago and it’s stuck at 10% and not moving.
I woke the device a few times (with the first wake-up it started from 0 to 10%), but it’s stuck.
What is the best way to proceed as there is no cancel button or similar.
Should I do a restart of HA (and zwave) or what is the recommandation of more experienced zwave users
What I did was to do a complete restart of HA and pull the battery on the sensor. Start the process again. One of my Zooz temp sensors took like 3 tries for some reason. I think there is a way to just restart zwave-JS but I can’t remember how.
However I reloaded the zwave-JS integration (just do so in settings > devices > zwave > three dots > reload), but it did not help.
Even after a restart HA complaints, that there is an update in process (z-wave error 1508).
(but the sensor does not show any update activity in the UI)
I have the same issue. I started updating and stopped updating, and now it just hangs with an available update but no progress at all. If I find the solution, then I will share.
Thanks!
After a several days and reboots, the update progress was obviously stopped unsuccessfully.
On other devices I haven’t been able to update either.
I will continue to try though.
EDIT:
I tried again with a mains powered device (AEOTEC Range Extender ZW189-C15), but the update stopped at 50% without any error or other notification.
It just went back to the UI showing the old and the new FW version:
After a few attempts I have successfully updated the Aeotec Range extender as well as the Aeotec Temperature and Humudity sensors.
I did not try to update others than Aeotec though.
Just for completeness: having the same issue.
After successfully updating a Qubino Smart Meter and Smart Plug, updating a second Smart Meter failed @ 99%. Subsequent tries to update any device result in a message saying a firmware update is already in progress.
No indication as to which device the message is referring to.
Also, I can’t imagine there isn’t some kind of command to soft-reset the ZWave network so that this issue can be resolved without resorting to hardware actions.
USB stick: Zooz ST39 800 Long Range
HA: 2024.9.latest, running HAOS on ProxMox
There was an old zwavejs issue with getting stuck at 99% - possible that is back. What I’d try is restart zwavejs (add-on), power cycle the device - and see what is reported.
As an aside, the only time you should do a device firmware update, is if the firmware update fixes a specific issue you are having. As you have seen there is a non-zero chance of problems occurring during firmware updates. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Thanks, I’ll try that (will take a few days) and report back.
I agree with the comment about only updating when necessary.
This however is in stark contrast with HA, which keeps reporting available firmware as possible updates without (to my knowledge) any possibility to indicate to skip the suggested update forever.
I actually have the same problem with a camera, which HA wants me to update to a version that does not work with HA.
