Download ZWA012 Door Window Sensor 7 .GBL firmware update


Note: This firmware will not work with firmware version V1.01 or under. The hardware differences are indicated by V1.XX and V2.XX


Before you update


Please make sure you download the correct Z-Wave Frequency and begin the update with the Door Window Sensor 7 as close as 10ft / 3m distance to your hub to avoid any possible firmware update issues to avoid bricking your device.


This firmware update is specifically for ZWA012. ZWA011 should not be updated. 


Update with an existing Z-Wave hub


In order to use the GBL update files, your Z-Wave gateway must support OTA firmware updates. If supported, follow the steps from your Z-Wave Gateway/hub/software to firmware update your Door Window Sensor 7.


Update using a Z-Wave USB Adapter


If your software does not support .GBL files yet, you can use PC Controller 5 (connected to any standard Z-Wave USB Adapter) by SiLabs to firmware update with GBL files. This software is a Windows exclusive.

You can find that PC Controller 5 here through Simplicity Studio: SiLabs Simplicity Studio
