Important Update Guidelines

Do not rename the firmware file – the filename contains the version number. The system will compare the current and new firmware versions and prevent downgrades.

Schedule updates during low activity periods – During the update, the controller will reboot (1-2 seconds). While rebooting, device control and power monitoring will be temporarily unavailable.

Read the file update.info file before updating – This file contains details about the update, including new features and post-update configuration steps. Reading it will ensure you can enable new functionalities after the update.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a safe and efficient firmware update process while maintaining device stability.
