I've been trying to update the firmware on my IKEA Bilresa switches for quite a while now, but the updates constantly kept failing. Fresh batteries, keeping them alive by periodically pressing a button or bringing them closer to a Thread Border Router (Apple TV, fwiw) didn't make any difference. Tried sharing them to HomeKit and updating through the Home app instead with no luck.

I saw in the Matter Server changelog that 9.0.0 improved firmware update reliability and decided to give it a go again and they've updated with no issues. Finally able to actually clear out pending updates. 🙌
