How to Update Firmware on Lightify Bulb

The post-obit steps draw the OTA (= Over The Air) firmware update of OSRAM (also known every chip Sylvania) / Ledvance devices (In this example a smart plug is updated).

On 2020-03-09 Osram (also known equally Sylvania) has decided to close downward server support for smart lamps from the Lightify lighting system within 18 months. This means Osram (besides known every bit Sylvania) will therefore be shutting down the cloud server for controlling the Lightify gateway on August 31, 2021. And then updating the devices via an Osram lightify gateway will be no longer possible in the near futurity.

However at that place is a workaround using deCONZ and RaspBee or ConBee as explained beneath.

Requirements:

– Raspberry Pi three Model B (or B+) or an Raspberry Pi four Model B + Power Supply (at least 2.5A)

– An
RaspBee

Shield or
ConBee USB Stick

phoscon

– 32 GB Micro SD Card (Awarding Class 2)

Steps:

i.) Connect the Osram On/Off Plug via Phoscon/deCONZ every bit mentioned
here

two.) Check the deCONZ GUI (via visiting
http://phoscon.de/app) and note the current installed firmware version (then yous know the update worked)

3.) Download a VNC Tool similar RealVNC Viewer from hither and utilize information technology to connect to the desktop (User: Pi & Countersign: raspbeegw; for more info`s run across
here)

4.) Start the deCONZ GUI

v.) Select the standard OTAU plugin via the menu bar in deCONZ via Bill of fare du jour -> Plugins -> STD OTAU Plugin and Switch to the “STD OTAU Plugin” tab on the bottom

Note: If the device yous wish comes upward with Version: 0x00000000 or Image: 0x0000 equally seen in my pic press the query button and look some minutes (or remove the plug from the wall socked await some min and re-plug information technology)

vi.) Select the device in the list yous wish to update (cheque the MAC Accost) and brand a annotation from the Image name

vii.) Go to the
Ledvance Firmware Update site

(in 2016 Osram sold in that location lamp business concern and a new company called Ledvance was build to pick that upwards), enter the epitome proper name (in out instance the Plug like written below) and printing search, and so Download the latest OTAU file via the button latest and shop that on your PI

8.) Make sure the device is still selected (blueish underline), then select the OTAU update file on your PI and press on the update button

nine.) deCONZ volition now perform a update from the device

Annotation: The procedure tin take upwards to fifteen-thirty minutes until completion (the device will restart itself automatically after it finished the update)

x.) Later the device is back, y’all can meet that the version number change from 0x01020490 to 0x01020509

11.) If you open upwards the deCONZ GUI (via visiting
http://phoscon.de/app) and check at present the version, information technology should accept changed:

Annotation: If the version is nevertheless the same, then reset the plug and re-pair it. And then the version will exist updated.

Notes:

Go on noted that at that place are are tree unlike Osram Plugs:

i.) The Osram Lightify Plug

Which comes upwardly equally:

• Epitome: 0x000a
• Paradigm manufacturer code: 0x110C
• Node Descriptor advertises manufacturer code: 0xBBAA

Its unclear if those devices could be updated. Equally I practice not have such a device i besides couldn´t banking concern check it on my own.

2.) The Osram Smart+ Plug (Zigbee 3.0?)

Which comes upward as:

• Prototype: 0x0027
• Paradigm manufacturer code: 0x110C
• Node Descriptor advertises manufacturer code: 0xBBAA
• Known as: Plug01 OnOff MK

on the back is often i from the following written:

• Smart Plug AB32570
• Smart Plug+ AB3257001NJ
• Fabricated in China x3419
• Made in China x2019
• Fabricated in Mainland communist china x3118

The older Osram firmware version V1.04.12 and V1.04.90 where successfully updated to the Ledvance V1.05.09

3.) The Osram Ledvance Plug

on the dorsum is ofttimes ane from the following written:

• Smart Plug AB32570
• Made in China x3419

Troubleshooting 01:

I had ane device which withal comes up equally Version: 0x00000000 with Epitome: 0x0000 regardless what I tried. As I was sure its the Osram Smart+ Plug, I load the Ledvance firmware and flashed version V0.twenty Build 509. To perform that I pressed ii-3 times the update push until the update started.

Troubleshooting 02:

Subsequently the update my Philips HUE wasn´t whatsoever longer able to detect the devices. I removed them all from the wall charger, waited two hours and plugged them in. All my devices could then exist constitute without any issues. And so if you freshly upgraded device isn´t any longer working. Attempt to continue information engineering unplugged for +2 hours and then attempt to pair them once again.
