Any plan for an XZG release?

[ffries]

My XZG UGZ01 is having firmware issues. Every week or so, Zigbee goes down and I have to reboot the ESP (rebooting Zigbee does not work, but rebooting the ESP works). I plan a reboot every night, but it does not change anything. Also I notice in HA that the ESP runtime is not very long, only a few hours or days before it reboots.

Having a release would make things clearer. Do you have plans for a release?

Kind regards,

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out.

The latest stable version is 0914, and I highly recommend downgrading or switching to it, as it should provide a more reliable experience for your setup.

Regarding your question about future releases: currently, there are no plans for a new release. I have stopped using network coordinators myself, and as a result, I have lost my former interest in developing this direction. Unfortunately, there are no other enthusiasts at the moment to help maintain and drive the project forward.

Furthermore, some unscrupulous network coordinator manufacturers decided to use the developments of this project in violation of its license, which has also severely drained my motivation to continue working on it.

I'm sorry I couldn't give you more encouraging news, but I hope version 0914 helps stabilize your XZG UGZ01.

Kind regards,

I bought the XZG UGZ01 specifically because I also wanted to support an independent developer. My previous experience with the v4 stick, especially in terms of performance and stability, was outstanding. However, since switching to the UGZ01, I have also been experiencing significant connection issues. It would have been helpful to receive clear information beforehand that the project is no longer being actively maintained before purchasing the UGZ.

XZG is not UZG.
I didn't developed or sold UZG-01 ever.

Oh, I misinterpreted something there. Sorry, @xyzroe.

Please mark this repository as an archive so that everyone can see that it is no longer being developed.

Sad to hear that... but understandable.
Do you see a migration to esphome.io and provide a configuration for that?

Perhaps this approach could be taken up to move in this direction: https://uzg.zig-star.com/bt-proxy/
