Hello,
I’ve been having a file system issue for a few days, which points to a Zigbee issue. I was advised to update the firmware on my Conbee II. In the video tutorial from dresden-elektronik, I don’t see any distinction between deconz_Conbee II and deconz_Conbee III. Is this correct, and can I also use the latter for the Conbee II?
Hello, on my side I m seing firmware for conbee 3 and conbee 2.
https://deconz.dresden-elektronik.de/deconz-firmware/?C=M;O=D
Here you have the last changelog Firmware Changelog · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin Wiki · GitHub
I have a Conbee II, but there is no option via the browser yet.
I’m not using deconz either, but the Zigbee adapter.
Yes i am also looking for latest for conbee II, since may i have lots of drop outs of device, it has been an unstable network. Also i have lamps, that are grayed out in phoscon, then in deconz they have only very thin gray lines, but i can control and they go on and off. Also there is lots of lag, i push a button and 30 seconds later a lamp comes on. I have no clue what is going on, i only added a few lights in the garden, then this mess started. So i put the garden lights off, pulled them from the sockets, but still the same.
firmware:26780700
gateway version:2.30.2
it has been a nightmare, kids that need to go to sleep, but lights not out. No way to get them off, so i need a ladder and screw them out. Then suddenly it has connection again, then it drops. Wifi channels way different and far away from zigbee channel. It was working very stable for four years or so, but im lost. So i was searching and came here eventually, that there might be a firmware update for conbeeII, but there is not. Oh i need to get the ladder now, my daughter wants her light on, i need to screw it back in 
Ha yes first time I tried the browser application Phoscon Firmware Updater
And nothing about the conbee2.
@Onshuis It seem you have the last firmware version, have you just try to unplug/replug the conbee ?
Else there is perhaps something usefull on logs ? Something spamming the network ?
The problem described at the beginning persists. I tried a second ConBee II. It worked immediately. The error message hasn’t changed. I assume the firmware is on the stick. Therefore, it’s unlikely that the ConBee stick is the cause of the error message.
You haven’t a window machine ? This procedure works generaly fine Update deCONZ manually · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin Wiki · GitHub
Time to have a return from devs.
No i have linux system, but i am baffled what has happend.
So i put everything on a new system, now this system was horizontally laying down 40-50 cm from the conbeeII, which is hanging with a extension cord on the ceiling. I did not fixed it to the wall as i was testing stuff out i needed it to be loose. I could not figure out why the whole network was so bad. Then i moved the pc to the wall, where my old pc was hanging. And after that, the zigbee network came to live again, so strange. The only thing is the pc is now on the side of the dongle and not under the dongle, must be it, because returning the pc to the same vertical position, the network started to get bad again. I am really baffled by this. Some sort of interference from the pc.
Usb 3.0 interference?
Not the first time I m seing the conbee not working same according to the direction used ^^.
But IDK how work the integrated antenna, if an electronics engineer know how it work physically …
You have just moved the PC, not the conbee ?
Yes, the position and the place of the pc is changed. It is a small fanless pc. It was positioned horizontaly under the conbeeII. Then i placed it back virticaly on the side wall.
Not working Working

Ok, no explanation for me …
How the PC can impact the conbee 50 cm far away, just with a side change …
