How to convert from Zigbee Coordinator into a Zigbee Router device

GitHub actions GitHub stars GitHub forks GitHub watchers "Buy Me A Coffee"

1. Make sure Home Assistant (ZHA) doesn't use the device as coordinator

2. Flash the router-example.yaml to your ZB-GW03

esphome run router-example.yaml

3. Install the xmodem file transfer tool lrzsz

apt-get install lrzsz

4. Download the Zigbee router firmware image

wget https://github.com/digiblur/Tasmota/raw/development/zigbee_router/efr32mg21_zigbee_router_signed-6.7.10.gbl.ota

5. Boot the Zigbee module into the download mode

  • Turn on the Download Mode switch entity via Home Assistant
  • Turn on the Zigbee Reset switch entity via Home Assistant (goes to "off" automatically)
  • Turn off the Download Mode

6. Telnet to the bootloader of the Zigbee module and select "upload gbl"

  • telnet 192.168.132.230 6638
  • Press return
  • Press 1 and return to select "upload gbl"
$ telnet 192.168.132.230 6638
Trying 192.168.132.230...

begin upload

7. Go to a second terminal and upload the new firmware. You don't need to cancel the telnet session

$ sx -vv -X -b --tcp-client 192.168.132.230:6638 efr32mg21_zigbee_router_signed-6.7.10.gbl.ota

Transfer complete

8. Restart the Zigbee module via Home Asisstant or Reboot the whole device

Press the Zigbee Reset switch or Restart switch.

9. Enable the "Pairing Mode"

Primary method is to go to the ESPHome device in Home Assistant and turn the Enable Pairing Mode switch on. The switch goes back to off after a few seconds. This is fine!

Alternative method to enable pairing mode is to use a paper clip to press the physical reset button of the device which is inside a hole located next to the USB power plug.

10. The Router can be paired now with your Zigbee Coordinator

If you use ZHA go to your Zigbee Coordinator Device and press "Add device".
