What is status of OTA Firmware upgrades?

[brians]

Currently I have to exclude then use software on Windows and my USB Stick to perform firmware upgrade.

Wondering when OTA will be supported in ZMatter. Last I heard was firmware issue but is this now resolved?

UD has stated this will be implemented in a future firmware upgrade, along with a few other promised upgrades. No ETA was given.

I believe that one of the issues is that each ZWave manufacturer has its own properties. We have seen this problem with the eisy/ZMatter migration/upgrade and I'm sure that UD will take its time to make sure that the next firmware upgrades have been tested to work with as many different ZWave brands as possible.

I don't think that is the case having to handle each device separately, OTA is part of the Z-Wave standard. Maybe issue with S2 and OTA.

The only OTA I have done is with the simplicity studio software and Zooz 700 stick on Windows PC... and it seems (for me anyways) that I cannot include the device into simplicity studio using S2 and must uncheck and use S0 only, or the firmware upgrade will not work. I just updated a few things recently - some Leviton switches and Zen17. Would be nice to have OTA so the nodes don't change excluding/including a new device to perform OTA currently, then having to adjust all programs and scenes. The Zen17 I just updated seemed to resolve issues with ZMatter, and the other Zen17 I have is way up high in garage ceiling so I will have to go up ladder and remove, do update, then install again... Not a huge deal but OTA will be nicer.
