Use deCONZ to perform an OTA update of OSRAM devices

The following steps describe the OTA update of OSRAM devices (In this example a smart plug is updated).

Requirements:

- Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (or B+) or an Raspberry Pi 4 Model B + Power Supply (at least 2.5A)

- An RaspBee Shield or ConBee USB Stick

- 32 GB Micro SD Card (Application Class 2)

 

Steps:

1.) Download the Raspbian Buster Desktop Image (for example version 2.05.67) from here

2.) Download balenaEtcher from here and flash the Raspbian image to the SD Card

3.) Connect the Raspberry Pi to your LAN

4.) Download a VNC Tool like RealVNC Viewer from here and use it to connect to the desktop (User: Pi & Password: raspbeegw; for more info`s see here)

5.) Start the deCONZ GUI

6.) Select the standard OTAU plugin via the menu bar in deCONZ via Menu -> Plugins -> STD OTAU Plugin

7.) Switch to the "STD OTAU Plugin" tab on the bottom

8.) Select the device in the list you wish to update (check the MAC Address) and make a note from the Image name

9.) Go to the LedVance Firmware Update site, enter the image name and press search [Optional you can try the following original Osram firmware update site]

10.) Download the latest OTAU file via the button latest and store that on your PI

11.) Make sure the device is still selected, then select the OTAU update file on your PI and press on update

Note: The process can take up to 5-10 minutes until completion (the device will restart itself)
