FLS-PP lp a ZigBee Light Link Wireless Ballast for LED Stripes

I just got my RaspBee Pro, and updated the firmware on my 3 FLS-PPs.

A couple things I encountered that might help others:

  • You need to use deCONZ-autostart.sh or the Startmenu > Programming > deCONZ menu item, not the bare deCONZ app.

  • You need X11 running (startx) on the RPI or via SSH agent forwarding (-Y)

  • Don’t forget the Network settings to add the In Clusters 0x19 setting.

  • You need to ensure you haven’t got anything elsie listening to port 80 if you use deCONZ-autostart.sh

  • You will need both the X11 interface (for network settings) and the web interface.

  • If your RaspBee firmware gets updated, you appear to need to powercycle. I waited an hour (with 0x19). The RaspBee would flash the Green LED solid for about 5-10 seconds, then do nothing for a while. The OTA updates never completed.

  • Updating 3 devices takes 3x as long… And didn’t always work the first time. Took me 3 times to get one of the 3 updated.

  • If you don’t have the ability to move the RaspBee to the ballasts, you can reset/unpair the FLS-PP units by:

    • Power cycle 4x, leaving them on 2s between cycles, until it blinks the LEDs. Wait for the blinking to stop. Power cycle two more times, waiting 2s. The LEDs should light up to a different illumination/colour than you had before, if you had somethning different (which I reccommend, I started with Red).
    • Now you can add them to deCONZ.

  • With deCONZ and the RaspBee I can control the RGB and W seperately. It’s great, and doubles the light output!

  • With Hue as I can only control the RGBW as before.

Now I need to look into changing how my automation works, because I really want the full white LED control for the >2x light levels it provides.
