Firmware Updates in Australia

Support
1

Hi Bob, I’ve seperated out this issue (from the NTC thread) and will report my results as I’m updating ~30 units.

My method is to switch to MINOR and set if it updates from the ‘stuck’ version prior to 02_05_09.

Unit 1 (redacted a bit). Updated Ok. 25s download.
7/19/21 15:03:17 Updater: Auto-update is current for class MAJOR.

Looks good Brett,

Can’t get over the RSSI on your router. Never seen -19 before.

Let’s hope the rest go as smooth. Assuming you deleted the logs because you were installing in a new environment.

3

The router is 5cm from the iotawatt!

There is a failed update I’m doing now:
7/26/21 12:30:39 Updater: Update from 02_05_12 to 02_06_02
7/26/21 12:30:39 Updater: download 02_06_02

That’s a timeout, but 02_05_12 Already has the increased time limit. What else can you tell me about the environment and connection?

5

That failed one was with a 3G router which (generally) have steady connections but not great bandwidth. Sorry, I don’t have numbers.

Next one succeeded (on Wifi. just google tested at 50Mbits/s).

Another failed (error -11, timeout) from a 3G. I just tested the speeds with Google Speed Test and got 15 MBits/s down and 01MBits/s up.

I then switch back to MAJOR and again to MINOR, assuming this would clear the ‘I tried and failed’ flag. It then downloaded and installed ok. Logs below:
