Today I noticed that a firmware update was available on my SMLight SLZB-06 Zigbee Coordinator. Take a look at the release notes below for some of the big changes, fixes, and more!
- 1. Active Sockets Multithreading Management: By default, 1 active socket is enabled (recommnded setting). User can change this in the “ZHA/Z2M” settings tab.
- 2. Improved Network Communication: A new Zigbee packet processing mode has been implemented. It groups all ZNP(ZSTACK), EMBER or EZSP packets and processes them at once (previously, only individual bytes were processed).
- 3. WireGuard Key Generation: A built-in WireGuard key generation feature has been introduced.
- 4. Hidden Router Pairing Button: The router pairing button is now hidden in work modes where it’s not relevant (Zigbee coordinator and Thread/Matter border router).
- 5. Disabled Wi-Fi Settings in Ethernet/USB Modes: Wi-Fi client settings are disabled when operating in Ethernet or USB mode.
- 6. Reduced Minimum SSID Length: The minimum SSID length for Wi-Fi has been lowered to 1 character.
- 7. Show Password Option: This change allows viewing the password in password fields.
- 8. Fixes to Prevent Device Slowdowns: Added multiple fixes to prevent device slowdowns.
- 9. Improved Crash Handling: Fixed an issue where the device could hang indefinitely due to a crash; now the device reboots automatically.
- 10. SLZB-06M: Enhanced Channel Scanning: SLZB-06M now supports channel scanning on any Zigbee firmware version. (Previously, special firmware was required.)
- 11. SLZB-06M: Multiple IEEE Address Changes: SLZB-06M can now change its IEEE address multiple times. (Previously limited to a single change.)
- 12. SLZB-06M: Metadata Parsing from Custom Zigbee Firmware: SLZB-06M can parse metadata (e.g., firmware version) from custom Zigbee firmware if available. Both V1 and V2 manifests are supported.
- 13. Web Server Performance Updates: Various performance improvements to the embedded web server.
- 14. Localization Updates: Updated translations and language files.
- 15. Thread/Matter-over-Ethernet Mode Warning: A warning has been added about the need for a stable network connection when using Thread-over-LAN connection.
- 16. Socket Connection Status Handlihg: Various imporvements related to the socket connection status handling.
- 17. WPA-3 Networks Display Fix: WPA-3 networks are no longer shown as open networks.
- 18. “Installed” Badge in Core Firmware Menu: The “Installed” badge now appears in the core firmware update menu.
- 19. Core and Zigbee OTA Updates System: A new over-the-air update system has been introduced. This is the minimum required core firmware version for all further new Core and Zigbee firmware updates.
