I have issues with my ConbeeII disconnecting from the USB port regularly, so I am trying to upgrade the firmware to a later version. I followed https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/wiki/Update-deCONZ-manually with Docker and Windows, but neither of them works
The flasher sees the com port and also detects the old firmware version, but after resetting the port … It never connects successfully.
I tried it a few times again, also using USB 2.0 hub and (longer) extension cable, but still the same issue/outcome.
Does this mean the conbee stick is faulty?
If the flashing still not work try the following:
start the flashing with the t -120 parameter and while GCFFLasher tries to reboot the device unplug the ConBee2 and plug it again.
The problem seems to be solved, but just in general, just throwing something away
or giving directly up does not sound like a good idea.
It seems the tool / stick have some issues in some scenarios. I was trying one under
debian 10 under vmware which did not work, where I could update it fine with a
ubuntu running directly on an old laptop.
