Im falling down a hole here. Long story still long, but it started when got a Tuya remote and trying to integrate it. Im currently using the plain old Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA). The new remote got recognized fine, I could see button presses in events but I didnt know hot to use those to trigger events (nothing shows up when try to create an automation).

I found some Zigbee2MQTT blueprints that look like they might work. So I went to install that. Z2M failed starting and is telling me I have a version 12 and I need to update my firmware. So I go to find out the manufacturer wants me to update via a webpage https://smlight.tech/flasher/#home

How the hell do I do this on a headless raspberry Pi? I gotta install a fucking DE for this? ZHA doesnt recognize there is a update needed, hell I cant even tell what firmware version is installed (not that there is any indication what version the update will install).

This is frustrating as hell.

    I think this is the way too. I have never updated firmware on a device via the Pi. Always connected to a PC.

    Can you confirm that you do not have ZHA and Z2M running at the same time?

    • Disable ZHA
    • Uninstall Z2M
    • Reboot device
    • Reinstall Z2M
    • Try to run it again.

    That’s what I would do next.
