[Experimental] Router firmware

Important

Read bellow before you flash a router firmware!

This release cleans up the previous router build (previously matched the old Sonoff one to allow the use of the existing converter for initial testing).

Behavior to expect from the device:

  • It should automatically try to join a nearby open network every 10 seconds as long as it is not already joined (will continue indefinitely as long as it has power).
  • Using the reset button in the device's Z2M page, should allow you to enter the bootloader on the device, making flashing "from router firmware" easier (no need to open the casing, short pins, etc.). If USB, ensure you plug your device into the computer you intend to use for flashing BEFORE you press the reset button. Flashers should then be able to detect the launched bootloader and allow immediate flashing. If you press this by accident, a simple unplug/short wait/replug should take your device out of the bootloader. The button is one-way, since the device should disconnect immediately after pressing it, to enter the bootloader.

All will require an external converter until support is added natively to Z2M. The same converter can be used for all router firmware in this release. It can be found here. Use it with the following in your configuration.yaml:

external_converters:
  - silabs-adapter-with-router-firmware-converter.js

Note: The usual methods of entering the bootloader for flashing remain available (shorting pins, using a physical button, etc.). The Z2M button is just extra.

The following models have been tested at the time of this release:

  • SONOFF DONGLE-E
  • SMLIGHT SLZB-07mg24
  • TubesZB MGM24

Tip

If the device doesn't appear as it should in Z2M after flashing the router firmware, and it was previously joined to Z2M, trigger a re-interview to force the information to update. Among other updated properties, Firmware build date should now read 2024....
