Firmware upgrade the Bitronvideo BV 2010/10 ZigBee USB dongle

I wonder if we shouldn’t try and make this easier for OH users and potentially add the FW to the zigbee repo, and also provide a simple way to manage this. I’ll have a think about this. I recently added this to the documentation, but I’m sure we can make this even easier.

That would be great.
I did have some hassle getting the stick back into working order after a flash was over.
It looks to me like a reset issue where the binding and the stick was not in sync.
I just restartet the whole openhab as this “installation” only has the zigbee binding with very few devices. I would guess that just a binding restart would do the trick

I had to use a .things file for the coordinator settings because the new baudrate would not “save” in the UI. It always find its own way back to 57k6.

Strange - it should be controllable and I always use 115k2 here so it is certainly possible to set this. I wonder if you can work out why this didn’t work so it can be resolved?

Been thinking about that. The baud setting must come from somewhere.
Also these two openhab builds behaved a bit different:

Start-Date: 2021-11-16  20:32:22
Commandline: apt install openhab
Install: openhab:amd64 (3.2.0~M4-1)
End-Date: 2021-11-16  20:32:25

Start-Date: 2021-11-16  23:29:26
Commandline: apt install openhab
Upgrade: openhab:amd64 (3.2.0~M4-1, 3.2.0~S2577-1)
End-Date: 2021-11-16  23:29:38

On M4:
the stick settings behaved until I did a scan for new zigbee devices.
The settings in UI would then fall back to 57k6 and sometimes the port settings jumped to /dev/ttyUSB1.
Syslog on my computer showed no trace of something happening on the USB level.

On the 2577 snapshot:
it is impossible to get so far as do a scan for new devices as the UI refused to save the baud settings, causing the binding to proceed with 57k6

I welcome any suggestions on how to further troubleshoot
