Ran the firmware update to latest that was offered in HA. Was on 2026.2.2 and Home Assistant green. Since then, no light is on for ZWA-2. Updated to 2026.2.3 and it's still dead. Trying a reboot now.
#ZWA-2 disappeared after attempted firmware update

Mine too, but I did it remotely and haven't been home to check on it.

No change after a full reboot.
Unplugging and trying the web site.
In bootloader mode due to corrupted firmware
Failed to download the latest firmware from the Internet. Well that's a lie.
According to network inspector, 403 forbidden on the network request to download
Corsproxy.io: content type not allowed on free plan.
Sigh
Downloading directly from GitHub.
Firmware recovered. Device is back.
Restarting HA again.
Back up and running. So to summarize, go to zwa2-toolbox. Click recover adapter. Go to GitHub. Download the gbl firmware from nabu casa. Recover. Plug into ha. Reboot.

Good to know. Was your ZWA-2 connected directly to your Green via USB cable? Mine is connected via PoE WaveShare board

I can't stop reading the gbl extension as gooble

I tried the ZWA-2 toolbox, and Chrome/Edge find the device no problem, but both the "Recover adapter" and "Install firmware" options fail, with the console showing "Failed to initialize the driver: ZWaveError: Timeout while waiting for an ACK from the controller (ZW0200)". I can't get to a step that allows me to upload anything manually. Should I be using the "Update ESP firmware" option?
The "Update ESP firmware" option doesn't work either, console looks like it's reading invalid data from the device and discarding it a bunch until it eventually throws "Failed to execute 'setSignals' on 'SerialPort': Failed to set control signals."
Manged to fix it with these instructions on the forum, had to use Tera Term to manually flash the firmware: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/zwa-2-stuck-in-bootloader-after-update-from-v1-0-to-v1-1-0-in-home-assistant/925811/7

I recovered mine with these instructions (I used zwave-js-ui): https://github.com/NabuCasa/zwave-firmware/issues/14#issuecomment-3244525311
I'm sure it has the same effect as the above, but I was able to fix mine without disconnecting it, over the network, and while sitting on my couch 🙂

That would've been much nicer, since my desktop is on the second floor and my RPi is in the basement, but the ZWA-2 toolbox was the first thing I found, ha. I'll use those instructions if this ever happens again, thank you
