In todays video I quickly run through the process of updating Z-Wave 700 Series dongles. The method I use in this video is the OTW update using Simplicity Studio 5 by Silicon Labs.
In this video I specifically update the Aeotec Z Stick 7 but this same method (using different firmware) will work for other popular Z-Wave dongles such as the Zooz 700.
🎥 VIDEO CHAPTERS:
0:00 - Z-Wave 700 Series dongle issues and why you should update
0:53 - Finding our Firmware Version
1:30 - Lets run through the instructions
2:16 - Setting up Simplicity Studio 5
3:29 - Grabbing the Firmware (Global one)
4:11 - Flashing the Dongle
5:57 - Dongle Flash completed
6:44 - Summary and Outro
