mitch236 Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 What is the difference between the firmware version shown in the admin console and the sticker on the actual device? I noticed that none of my devices seem to show the same v number in the console as the sticker.
Brian H Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I don't believe Smarthome/Smartlabs puts the modules firmware version on the modules anymore. They did on the older ones. The V number on the module is a hardware version and will not match the firmware version ISY is displaying.
Michel Kohanim Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Hi, Good question as we still haven't found the algorithm which converts one to the other! With kind regards, Michel
mitch236 Posted April 17, 2010 Author Posted April 17, 2010 The reason I ask is I found someone selling 6 KPL's at a good price and I want to be sure they are going to work without drama. The seller says they are v 1.4 Is this firmware (from the sticker) a good product?
Brian H Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 The sticker is not the firmware version. It is the hardware revision. http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?tit ... _I_Have%3F From the chart in the link Rand gave. Look at the "Label On Device" column for the KPL. You will see that 1.3 was the earliest someone reported and 5.1 was the latest. The chart also gives known firmware revisions for each hardware revision reported and other data like I1 or I2 compatible. You may also see a few devices with different hardware revision numbers and the same firmware revision in the chart. I have a hardware revision sticker v1.4, six button KPL Dimmer, in a tabletop case. Firmware revision my ISY99i reports v.29 and Event Viewer shows adding and removing it from my system used the older i1 protocol. My V1.4 also had clear buttons and has both the 6 and 8 button sets in the box.
