Firmware updates

Post by Brieuc_Netatmo »

Hello,

Update process: everything is automatic. If the firmware of your Station is not updated yet, it will be done within the scheduled roll-out. The latest firmware is progressively pushed to each active product*. The Main Indoor module is the first one to receive the new firmware from our servers. Then, all radio modules paired to it are updated automatically. This process can take up to a few weeks depending on the number of active devices and radio signal reliability.

Please find below the changelog of the Weather Station firmwares:

14 March 2023 - Main Module v200 / Outdoor v53 / Additional Indoor v53 / Rain Gauge v14 / Wind Gauge v27:
- Improved the update process for the radio modules (we had not yet updated all the modules for this improvement)
- Various fixes and optimizations


6 February 2023 - Main Module v200 / Outdoor v52 / Additional Indoor v52 / Rain Gauge v13 / Wind Gauge v26:
- Improved the update process for the radio modules

* "The lastest firmware is progressively pushed to each active product." > It means that after having beta tested a new firmware, we push it on all the devices step by step. At the beginning, we push it on a very small percentage of all devices, and check whether everything goes well. If no issue is reported, we increase the percentage of updated products, and monitor carefully each step.
That's why when the announcement of a new firmware is done, some of you will be updated and some others will still have to wait for few days.
In short, no need to ask us to force the update, you will get it very soon!
NB: the same deployment process is applied to the mobile Apps for Android and iOS.
