Using the USB Dongle with deCONZ application
The deCONZ
1
application allows the configuration, operation, monitoring and maintenance of
ZigBee networks.
4.5.1. Windows
1. Download and install the deCONZ software from:
https://www.dresden-elektronik.de/funktechnik/products/software/pc/deconz
Important:
The next step will bring up a windows firewall warning. This happens because
deCONZ runs a webserver to provide the Phoscon App and is using an
Internet discovery mechanism so that the browser can find the Phoscon App.
For proper operation it’s required to confirm the firewall exception.
2. Start the deCONZ application from the start menu.
3. If necessary a firmware update request will be shown.
Proceed by clicking on
Update Firmware
button.
