Yes, you can say I’m bad, or you can take it as a great compliment…
I have a dual Iotawatt system running 2.05.05. It’s been running flawlessly with home assistant and I saw no reason to update.
I am making a bunch of changes, I added a new branch circuit, and upgraded home assistant. I should probably hit the button on an firmware update to iotawatt just to not be too out of date.
Is there a cumulative release notes document somewhere, notably one that tells me if there are breaking changes? I tried to work through the announcements but it’s a bit confusing whether I am seeing everything I need.
Alternatively, my real question … should just updating work, with no special steps or provisions? Or maybe to the point is that the best way to do this, just see what breaks? The only thing I use is output to influxdb, with a couple calculations associated with it.
Yes… I should pay more attention. But that’s what you get for having a product that just works!

Update should just work. Takes about one minute to download and install. That said, if you are not experiencing problems, don’t need anything in newer releases and are generally satisfied - If it ain’t broke…
Well, decided to go ahead and pull the trigger; didn’t want to have to do it under the gun some day when Influx upgrades and has a breaking change, or some such.
Did one, when it worked did the other.
The good news is no issues as best I can tell, still getting updates, things look fine.
I think I’ll just leave it on MINOR. Thanks for the quick response earlier.

MINOR is currently 02_07_05. 02_08_00 is currently BETA and will probably go MINOR in a month or so. So far there have been zero issues going from 02_07_05 to 02_08_00.
