Error: option 'device' required even for network devices?

[Stadicus]

I'm trying to flash the ZigStar UZG device (version 0.3) with the CC1352P7 chip according to their instructions. First I tried using the ZigStar Multitool (that does not seem to support CC1352P7 according to https://github.com/xyzroe/ZigStarGW-MT/issues/22). As recommended, I'm now trying to flash the UZG with the ZigStar Home Assistant addon, following the official UZG instructions.

I installed the ZigStar TI CC2652P7 Flasher Add-on, which seems suited to the job according to https://github.com/mercenaruss/zigstar_addons/commit/7c9327db5895db52ee1641af288401c65abca632.

I enter all relevant information into the configuration form, but then I get the following error message on save:

Failed to save add-on configuration, Missing required option 'device' in ZigStar TI CC2652P7 FW Flasher (193f5383_zigstar-cc2652p7-flasher). Got {'device': None, 'network_device': '192.168.1.5:6638', 'usb_mode': False, 'coordinator_fw': False, 'router_fw': False, 'firmware_url': 'https://github.com/Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware/blob/master/coordinator/Z-Stack_3.x.0/bin/CC1352P7_coordinator_20230507.zip', 'trigger_bsl': True}

Checking the YAML configuration, I see that the argument device is expected and is configured with null. This seems to be only relevant for USB devices, and I can't select anything because the UZG is connected via Ethernet.

Any recommendation how I can get this to work?

In add-on description is a instruction how to flash over usb or network. You didn't select the firmware you want to flash Coordinator or Router. You didn't select any usb device just to make addon happy.

[Stadicus]

Yes, I've read the instructions. As you can see in the screenshot, I don't have any USB devices to choose from.

If I understand you correctly, I also need to activate the toggle "Coordinator Firmware", even though I provide the custom firmware URL? I'll try this, but then the description "Will download and flash latest..." is quite misleading.

Do you know from experience what "dummy USB device" I could plug into the Pi so that I can select it "just to make the form happy"?

[mercenaruss]

ohh okay, you need UART usb device to make a dummy device or just write in config manually: dev/ttyUSB0 dev/ttyS1

[Stadicus]

I tried the above options, without luck...

• Connecting UART USB device --> does not show up in the addon, even after a HA restart (no full reboot)
• I also connected a Sonoff Zigbee Coordinator (flashed as a Router) --> no luck
• Setting dev/ttyUSB0 or dev/ttyS1 (with or without additional quotes, e.g., "dev/ttyUSB0") --> error "Device 'dev/ttyS1' does not exist in ZigStar TI CC2652P7 FW Flasher"

[Stadicus]

Ok, I think the form needed a full system reboot to be happy. After physically restarting the Pi, the Sonoff USB coordinator showed up and I was able to flash the UZG over the network. 🎉

I'm having a similar issue. Getting this when saving no matter what I do.

@ZyberSE you need to choose any usb device from list
