Firmware version 0x26540900 for ConBee III

Firmware version 0x26540900 for ConBee III
After 24 hours deConz lost the connection with the stick.
After re-flashing the previous firmware, all was good again.
Said that a stable system is going down after a new firmware.

First the light went off line and after that the power plugs.
After the reboot, the stick did not want to connect anymore.
At that moment I decided to go back to the previous version
deCONZ_ConBeeIII_0x26530900.bin.GCF 11-Jul-2024 09:58
All items connect properly and all was running well.

Please check out the version 0x26550900 (Firmware Changelog) that was released today it has a fix for this, this also hit my setup.

Same for me :slight_smile:

Wait a new version.

Maybe I will try next weekend.
I was no fun, to notice that the entire system was failing just before going to bed.
That the system is headless and located on a not really accessible location.
I took me some time to flash the old firmware. (which worked as a charm)
Maybe I just stay on the firmware, it is stable, not to many issues.
We will see, no hurry.

I had the same issue and also had to revert to older firmware. Updating to 0x26550900 that @manup suggested has been positive. Been running without issue for a few days now.

Hi, I developed this firmware, and there was a UART-TX buffer pileup at firmware0x26540900 that didn’t occur in my test setups—but users like you have experienced it.

To address this, version 0x26550900 introduces a new request-handling flow and a watchdog that detects such lockup conditions and restarts the ConBee if necessary.

The root cause of the issue relates to the migration to a new SDK, as Silicon Labs now maintains two SDKs, with the older one likely to be deprecated in the near future.

Which version of deconz are you on?

I am running deConz 2.28.1 (Last Stable)

Like me. Maybe we have to be in 2.29…

No, 2.28.1 is the latest stable release.
I am not going to work with beta versions.
The system has to be stable.
To many heating valves and other things are running on this system.

Yes, I’m in the same situation. But it’s something to keep in mind.
