Note: Updating SLZB-OS does not affect your Zigbee network data — Zigbee pairing and configuration are stored in Zigbee2MQTT/ZHA, not in the core firmware.
12.2.3 Automatic Zigbee Firmware Updates

When enabled, SLZB-OS will automatically check for Zigbee firmware updates every # DAY and TIME (for example, every fifth day at 3 am)

This process restarts the Zigbee component — ensure your Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA setup is ready to reconnect devices after the restart.
