Tools for Zigbee, Open Thread and Bluetooth Low Energy

Z-Wave.Me devices with 2.4GHz radio such as Z-Station, mPCIe and Multi-Protocol Controller are capable to work with Zigbee, Open Thread and Bluetooth Low Energy. Firmware upgrade feature is used to switch between specific firmwares.

Get firmware info

For Zigbee firmware: zme_zigbee info -d /dev/ttyXX
For OpenThread firmware: zme_open_thread update -d /dev/ttyXX
For BLE firmware: zme_ble info -d /dev/ttyXX

Upgrade the firmware

To upgrade the firmware do: zme_zigbee update open_thread_EFR32MG21A020F512IM32.gbl -d /dev/ttyXX. Use Z-Wave.Me firmwares only. Use zme_zigbee, zme_open_thread or zme_ble depending on the firmware you have.

Usually it is only enough to run upgrade. But in some cases you might need to update the SE and the Bootloader frimware too. For this do:
SE: zme_zigbee se s2c1_se_fw_upgrade_1v2p16.zigbee.pkzme -d /dev/ttyXX
Bootloader: zme_zigbee booltloader_EFR32MG21.zigbee.pkzme -d /dev/ttyXX

Switch between Zigbee/OpenThread/BLE

Same update command is used to swtitch between protocols:
Zigbee → OpenThread: zme_zigbee update open_thread_EFR32MG21A020F512IM32.gbl -d /dev/ttyXX
Zigbee → BLE: zme_zigbee update ble_EFR32MG21A020F512IM32.gbl -d /dev/ttyXX
OpenThread → Zigbee: zme_open_thread update zigbee_EFR32MG21A020F512IM32.gbl -d /dev/ttyXX
OpenThread → BLE: zme_open_thread update ble_EFR32MG21A020F512IM32.gbl -d /dev/ttyXX
BLE → Zigbee: zme_ble update zigbee_EFR32MG21A020F512IM32.gbl -d /dev/ttyXX
BLE → OpenThread: zme_ble update open_thread_EFR32MG21A020F512IM32.gbl -d /dev/ttyXX

Using BLE

After switching to the BLE firmware, here is how you can attach the device to the Linux Bluetooth ecosystem (select the right port and run it with root rights — use sudo if needed): btattach -B /dev/ttyUSB1 -S 115200 -N. To check it, use bluetoothctl list.
