Custom firmware for Gledopto GL-S007Z

It is Zigbee 5W GU10 Bulb with RGB+CCT LEDs. The lamp has a good design and characteristics, but it has only one small disadvantage. It does not save and restore the last state after power outage.

For example, it can light while you are on vacation for two weeks or wake-up you at midnight.

So, I’ve adjusted and tested the PTVO firmware to work on this and other bulbs based on the CC2530 chip.

Zigbee Switch Configurable Firmware (+Router)

This firmware allows you to create a Zigbee switch device with a flexible configuration of inputs and outputs. I’ve created a base firmware for CC2530, CC2530 + CC2590 , CC2530 + CC2591 and CC2530 + CC2592 chips. The attached configurator for Windows can write your device configuration to the selected base firmware. Then you can save the customized version to a separate HEX file and upload it to your device.

Inputs and outputs can work independently. So you may create a switch without a control button, or a simple button only.

The device with this firmware also works as a router.

Note: the firmware is designed for constantly powered devices.

CC2531 based router (firmware)

I’ve replaced my old coordinator hardware with CC2530 with an external antenna and therefore one of CC2531 was not used.

The guys on GitHub asked me to make a router firmware for СС2531 too. I’ve spent some time and prepared 3 variants:

  1. CC2531-router.hex – just a router, without diagnostics and a USB serial port.
  2. CC2531-router-diag.hex – a router with diagnostic reports and without a USB serial port.
  3. CC2531-router-diag-usb.hex – a router with diagnostic reports and a USB serial port. The firmware dumps diagnostic reports to the serial port too.

Introduction

My smart home infrastructure contains several Xiaomi humidity/temperature and door sensors. I’ve used these sensors with the corresponding Xiaomi gateway. The gateway was connected with my BananaPi M2U and Pimatic. But my home is long and tall. One gateway does not cover all rooms, and therefore far sensors disappear periodically.

I’ve googled and found I can use Xiaomi sockets (Zigbee edition) like Zigbee routers. This socket is less expensive than a new gateway, and it has a smaller size. I’ve purchased two sockets and used them for about a month. This socket has a big problem (from my standpoint). It can go into the deep sleep mode and cannot forward data packets from sensors.

There are no more results.
