If you’re a SmartThings user and you need to update firmware on some of your Z-Wave devices, this article will explain how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ran into this exact situation recently, and I assumed I would be able to easily update the firmware through the SmartThings hub. However, after fumbling around with it for a bit, I did a quick search and found that this was NOT something SmartThings could currently do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t worry, though. It can be done without too much trouble. This article will show you how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Specifically, it will show you how to use the Z-Wave PC Controller software to do OTA updates for your Z-Wave devices without removing them from your SmartThings network. Here’s the basic steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
