Thats the one I flashed but it doesn't work either

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 3:59 PM

#

Not https://github.com/itead/Sonoff_Zigbee_Dongle_Firmware/tree/master/Dongle-E/NCP_7.4.3?

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:00 PM

#

no

#

exactly this one:
https://github.com/darkxst/silabs-firmware-builder/raw/main/firmware_builds/zbdonglee/ncp-uart-hw-v7.4.3.0-zbdonglee-115200.gbl

#

I also flashed the router firmware as a test and the console logs stuff but with the coordinator one it doesn't output anything, just "{~"

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:01 PM

#

It won't until you actually communicate with it

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

But even then the web flasher doesnt detect it

#

with whatever firmware i tried

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

What browser are you using?

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:03 PM

#

Chrome

#

it works great with esp web tools for serial connection

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:03 PM

#

The serial port isn't in use by other tools, right?

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:04 PM

#

i also tried restarting windows but its not used by anything afaik

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:04 PM

#

Do you have a Linux environment that isn't inside of a VM?

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:05 PM

#

I could use a raspberry pi

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

If you have one running, you can just directly use the firmware flasher:

wget 'https://github.com/darkxst/silabs-firmware-builder/raw/main/firmware_builds/zbdonglee/ncp-uart-hw-v7.4.3.0-zbdonglee-115200.gbl'
pip install universal-silabs-flasher zigpy-cli
universal-silabs-flasher -vvv --device /dev/serial/by-id/... flash --firmware *.gbl --force

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

thx I'll give it a try

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

okay it's flashed now but the web flasher still cant connect

#

let's see if HA can detect it

#

It's still confusing that the USB Device id is 10c4:ea60 and not 1A86:55D4

#

10c4:ea60 is not the ZBDongle-E EFR32MG21 one but the ZBDongle-P afaik

#

And HA still fails to setup with: Failed to probe the usb device

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

jaunty sphinx okay it's flashed now but the web flasher still cant connect

Did you flash it by triggering the bootloader, or by just plugging in the stick?

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

just plugging in

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

Can you post the flasher verbose logging output?

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:54 PM

#

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:54 PM

#

The flasher effectively uses ZHA to communicate with the stick to get it into its bootloader. If it can do that, the stick is 100% functional so whatever issue you're having inside of HA OS is USB passthrough.

#

What about the beginning?

#

That would indicate if the stick is actually functional or if it's stuck in the bootloader

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

Unfortunately it's cut due to windows terminal buffer size

#

it starts at uploading 3%

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

In that case, get rid of --force

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

but it entered the bootloader

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

It should say that the firmware version you're trying to install is already running

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

okay lets see

#

seems to be good

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:57 PM

#

Right, so the stick works and the firmware that's expected to be running is running

#

So it's unfortunately a passthrough issue

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 4:58 PM

#

but I'm using a SkyConnect as well without any issues

#

same configuration

#

is it better to passthrough a full port instead of a single device?

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

I'm not too sure, I assume the full port would prevent the hypervisor from being too smart

#

10c4:ea60 is a SiLabs CP2102(N) chip, same as the SkyConnect

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

I'm trying to reboot the entire system, maybe that might help

#

or just running HA on the pi with the stick to try if it works

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

The flasher and ZHA use the exact same library to communicate with the stick

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

But I wonder why it's detected by HA and the ZHA Integration

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

Discovery uses just the USB info which is separate from the serial port device

#

USB passthrough often passes through the USB info but the actual serial port isn't functional

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

I found a thread where they suggested to install linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-30-generic on the vm to make the stick work

#

however thats not possible on HA OS

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

The stick is 100% compatible with HA OS running on bare metal, the serial drivers are part of the Kernel

#

And HA OS is very up-to-date with kernel releases, they're on 6.6.31, 5.51.0 would be ancient 😄

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

usb-ITead_Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_56f54acc8ee7ed1194fb646262c613ac-if00-port0```

#

that's on the HA Cli

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

Yeah, that's normal and generated from the USB descriptors

#

But just the USB descriptors, nothing else

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

mhh so I guess there is no solution

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

What hypervisor and OS are you using?

#

Is this running from Windows?

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

Proxmox Virtual Environment 8.1.3

#

And HA OS Generic X86

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

Have you tried passing through the whole port instead of just the specific USB device?

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

yea but unfortunately no difference

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

It's a common issue with Proxmox, I'm not too sure why some serial chips work with it and some don't

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 9:14 PM

#

Would it be possible to provide the serial connection via tcp?

#

connecting the dongle to the host and providing the connection via tcp serial

jagged crypt Aug 23, 2024, 9:15 PM

#

Sure, socket://... is a valid serial port path for ZHA

jaunty sphinx Aug 23, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

Okay that works now using ser2net on the Host

#If the web flasher doesn't work, ZHA isn
