SilverCrest Zigbee Gateway Model TYGWZ-01 about zigbee-firmware HOT 11 OPEN

Hi I've followed this link: https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Lidl_TYGWZ-01.html in ordert to use the SilverCrest Zigbee with Home Assistant and I've upgraded the EZSP Version to 6.7.8.0 (firmware: https://github.com/grobasoz/zigbee-firmware/raw/master/EFR32%20Series%201/EFR32MG1B-256k/NCP/NCP_UHW_MG1B232_678_PA0-PA1-PB11_PA5-PA4.gbl)

I wonder if there are any chance to upgrade to a newer version?

Thanks in advance for your support!

Hey! Interested too.

AFAIK the support for 256k chips was dropped which I think makes difficult to have newer EZSP versions on our coordinators.
But maybe there's hope, at least a more modern version than the 6.7.8.0 FW, I think there is an untested 6.10.x firmware (darkxst/silabs-firmware-builder#22 (comment) ) but I'm not sure about how it will work.

Anyhow, I've bought a SLZB-06M coordinador to replace mine (So I can use Zigbee2MQTT + new "ember" driver) but I'll keep the LIDL one for testing so if a newer firmware comes, I won't care about trying it without messing with my home's config.

@Danieldiazi @joaquinvacas - Unless you are specifically having problems with 6.7.8 I'd suggest sticking with it. We have noticed quite a few issues with later versions of NCP, especially on the older chips. As you know, the NCP is just a small part of the software, basically a Radio Controller, the "brains" are in the Host application (eg Zigbee2MQTT (experimental still?), ZHA and Tasmota to name a few). Most problems I've encountered have been with the Host Application.
If you still want to try a layer version, I could try set some time aside to creating a version for 6.10.9...

It seems on the newer Z2M "ezsp" driver is becoming deprecated in favor of "ember" driver.

Anyhow, it seems that the latest version send some commands that are unknown/incompatible for the older EZSP firmwares and seems that 6.10.x firmwares work fine, at least, at the moment.

@joaquinvacas - So you would like a V6.10.9 version of NCP_UHW_MG1B232_678_PA0-PA1-PB11_PA5-PA4.gbl?
I ask as it takes a while to get the hardware setup for testing...

Thanks for your answer and your support.
My concern is that this version could become obsolete, for example, this week we had problems upgrading to version 2024.5.0. (as you can see in the comments: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/05/01/release-20245/#backward-incompatible-changes)

Except for this specific case, I haven't any problems and I am very happy with the firmware.

Thanks!

@grobasoz that would be pretty nice as otherwise zigbee2mqtt will kind of drop us behind :-/

@titoum-be Its still V8 protocol so its no difference.

Can you share your opinion and experience about SLZB-06M device?

Don't worry, unless somebody else is interested too, don't want to bother you and waste your time with this FW :)

@titoum-be Its still V8 protocol so its no difference.

Regarding this, seems that some of the commands are accepted on 6.10.x
