Firmware Release Notes
Firmware Releases
To update a sensor’s firmware, if applicable, click the Update Firmware button in the sensor page of the Sentinare app. If updating from a very old version, the process may go through multiple updates. Leave the sensor powered on and connected to a stable WiFi.
Most updates should finish within 5 minutes. If the sensor blinks blue for an excessive amount of time, it is safe to replug the power to restart the sensor, in case it is stuck downloading. The sensor will resume the download and update automatically.
