[APP] Aeotec - Intelligent automation - by Aeotec Group

Hi all Aeotec users.

I would like to give short information about the firmware OTA update of Z-Wave devices with Homey App.

Even if Emile has pointed out a theoretical possibility of integrating an update function for the individual apps, it does not mean that this will be implemented. Unfortunately, there is no effort on Homey’s part to make this easy for developers. Reference is only made to the Z-Wave SDK, which describes the necessary commands for firmware updates. Even Homey cannot describe how this should look in detail in Homey. In view of the resources required and the additional costs for each individual app developer, the implementation will probably not happen.

There will be no integration in the Aeotec app without the help of Homey.

To update devices, you can use the option with a Z-Wave stick as a secondary controller across all manufacturers.
