smokegrub Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) I am currently running firmware 4.2.2 on a MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4). My ISY is a 994i IR Pro. I recently received and linked one of three Hidden Door Sensors. The procedure was successful and as I continued the setup I learned that nodes for the device required firmware 4.2.3 or higher. As I have researched updating the firmware I have taken note of posts that indicate that Safari does not play well with the firmware. So, I have installed Firefox and made it my default browser. I have also ensured that I have the most recent JAVA update (JAVA 7 Update 67). All my devices are Insteon or X-10 (I have the module installed). I am a novice at such matters so please take that into account as I ask a couple of questions. With Firefox set as my default browser does that ensure its use rather than Safari and resolve the problems mentioned in the aforementioned posts? I plan to use Appendix D: Upgrading Your Firmware from the User Guide to proceed with the update. Are those procedures up-to-date or are there other factors I need to take into account? Which firmware update is recommended as solid and dependable and will supply the nodes needed for the Hidden Door Sensors? I have also noticed elsewhere that I should be getting automatic notices of updates. I have received none. Is there a setting I must make to get these? Please note that I have made a clone of my harddrive and a backup of the ISY. Sorry that my initial post said in error I was running 4.2.10. Edited September 10, 2014 by smokegrub
larryllix Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) I am currently running firmware 4.2.10.... I have also noticed elsewhere that I should be getting automatic notices of updates. I have received none. Is there a setting I must make to get these? You have the latest firmware version. I have never received update notices either. I don't know where one would receive them. Just watch this forum for notices. Edited September 10, 2014 by larryllix
Xathros Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) I do receive the upgrade announcements. I believe there was a place on the UDI website to register for them - this was years ago. I'll see if I can find that for you. I would install the current beta 4.2.10 or wait for the 4.2.11 which I suspect will be the final within a week or 2. -Xathros EDIT: Register here:http://www.universal-devices.com/my-account/ Edited September 10, 2014 by Xathros
smokegrub Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 Please note the edit to my initial post. I made an error. I am running 4.2.2 not 4.2.10!
smokegrub Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks, Xathros. I amended my registration to request the firmware notifications. Please note the edit I made to my original post. Senior moment!
rlanza1054 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Hi, I don't seem to find the 'Automatic Updates' that according to the documentation is supposed to be located from the Admin Console under the Help tab? Is it now just automatic and you don't have a choice and the menu option was removed? Thank you! Rob
rlanza1054 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Most likely only the Pro version of ISY I own the ISYi ZW/IR PRO? Update: running 4.2.30 Edited September 5, 2015 by rlanza1054
Michel Kohanim Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Rob, You won't get that unless we have an official release. Currently, the last official release is 4.2.30. With kind regards, Michel

With kind regards, Michel Hi, So your saying that I will not see an option in the Help tab for Automatic Update, until there is an update? So when there is another official update, my current ISY which is running that latest current release of 4.2.30, will then show that option in the Help tab? Thanks! Rob
Michel Kohanim Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Hi Rob, Correct. With kind regards, Michel
Xathros Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 And, you will be presented with a pop up dialog when logging in to the ISY to alert you to the availability of the update as well. As Michel said, only for final releases not beta versions. -Xathros
