Help with Zigbee (SLZB-07) Updates etc (lemmy.world)

Im falling down a hole here. Long story still long, but it started when got a Tuya remote and trying to integrate it. Im currently using the plain old Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA). The new remote got recognized fine, I could see button presses in events but I didnt know hot to use those to trigger events (nothing shows up when try to create an automation).

I found some Zigbee2MQTT blueprints that look like they might work. So I went to install that. Z2M failed starting and is telling me I have a version 12 and I need to update my firmware. So I go to find out the manufacturer wants me to update via a webpage https://smlight.tech/flasher/#home

How the hell do I do this on a headless raspberry Pi? I gotta install a fucking DE for this? ZHA doesnt recognize there is a update needed, hell I cant even tell what firmware version is installed (not that there is any indication what version the update will install).

This is frustrating as hell.

I see that folks are trying to be helpful here, but I think that you're making it far more complicated that it needs to be. ZHA supports the SLZB-07, and the manufacturer supports ZHA. It seems to me that the path forward here is to figure out how to create automations first, which is not exactly straightforward. It'll be easier to figure out the issue if you can point to exactly what's not working, if anything.

Otherwise, there's a strong chance that if you get the adapter working with Z2M, you'll be back at square one trying to create an automation, but more frustrated.

I have some automations using ZHA as the, I don't know what it'd called, the device is the coordinator, ZHA vs Z2M is a ___? Anyway I have a couple automations but mostly plugs for monitoring energy usage, in order to really start to expand usage I got the tuya remote and that's where things started to go south.
