1. Go to https://help.aeotec.com/support/solutions/articles/6000252294-z-stick-gen5-v1-02-firmware-update and 'Download the correct Z-Wave Frequency of your Z-Stick Gen5.' Extract this .zip download.
2. Expand the device in Z-Wave JS MQTT Control panel and click Advanced.
3. Select firmware update 'BEGIN'. The Target is 0.
4. Click OK and select the ZStick_G5_EU_V1_02.exe file.
5. See error above message above.

Expected behavior

Expected behavoir is somewhere along the lines of 'SUCCESS'; #493

Additional context

I have confirmed by looking on the backside of the stick that I have the 'AEON Labs Z‐Stick Gen5 USB Controller ZW090' and not the 'AEON Labs Z‐Stick Gen5+ USB Controller ZW090' dongle.

The firmware currently installed is 1.0.

Just attempted this myself with the same results.

At this time you cannot upgrade the firmware of a USB controller zwavejs2mqtt/node-zwave-js, that functionality is only for other nodes. You'll need to use the software provided by Aeotec.
