Presuming I have to re connect all devices.
Don't hold your breathe, I ordered on the 10 Jan (Sunday) and was emailed they sent it on the 13 Jan (Wednesday) and it finally arrived yesterday 18 Jan (Monday).
Unwrapped, put the plastic case on and screwed the arial on and plugged in the Pi.
Light flashed purple on and off ( their 'blink' script to test it).
Removed it and plugged into the MacPro.
Now the fun begins , I know nothing about command line (well I do but not much
)
But finally worked out that sudo and python3 are extras required for this process as all they show is
./cc2538-bsl.py -p /dev/tty.usbserial-2212420 -e
and what is needed is
python3 ./cc2538-bsl.py -p /dev/tty.usbserial-1420 -e
.
I told you are I'm not to good on the command line!
Anyway managed to erase and refresh blink.bin, I felt so proud of myself.
Downloaded the correct file from zigbee2mqtt repo and got told it was an Intel Hex format, back to the howto and managed to install the hextobin converter and voodoo happens, it works.
I backed up my configuration.yaml, deleted the devices and replaced the cc2531 for the zigazag.
Gradually with lots of button holding and pressing the devices started to populate (some were easy some not so)
Then I replaced the new configuration.yaml with my original one, rebooted and all is working except for one Aqara door sensor which according to shims is giving a string instead of bool for true/false.
Does anyone have a template for the Aqara Contact Sensor as I can't get the state into the GUI unless I say it has battery then I get 100% ?
