Zigbee2MQTT 2 failed to start

The new version of Zigbee2MQTT (Z2M) adds new features and improvements, but occasionally, they can break compatibility with existing devices :). Most of the breaking changes are about removing legacy features that have been deprecated for years.

If your PTVO-based devices do not work in the latest version (Z2M shows the “Unsupported” status for your device), it seems, you should update a custom converter for it.

Note: Z2M stops loading external converters after the first broken converter. If some of your DIY devices are “unsupported” now, this does not mean that you should update converters for all devices.

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.
