Ezlo Development going strong?

Can I get in on this manual push of the automatic firmware updating? After many months I finally setup my shiny new Ezlo Plus and it needs the latest firmware update.

Hello @jeubanks

We have flagged your controller to update to version 2.0.65.2848.2 during the next reboot. Please disconnect the power adapter from your controller and reconnect it. You will notice the light flashing magenta, and then it will reboot to complete the process.

Hello,

We are currently investigating why the controllers are not being flagged for the new versions and are taking the necessary steps to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process.

It would also be helpful to get a notification an update exists and after an auto update a notification that the firmware was updated.

I wouldn’t want regular notifications regarding firmware changes. I have a lot of ‘smart’ devices around my house by now, I guess they are all updating every now and again. Only send notifications if a user actively wants to enable this.

It doesn’t have to push out to a mobile device, it could just even get logged.
Generac kind of does that with their updates.

Can you please also flag my controller to get the latest firmware?

Hello Odysee,

It’s done. Please perform a power cycle to install the firmware update.

Looks like I don’t have the latest firmware either. When do you expect this problem to be resolved?
Also curious as to why all controllers can’t get manually flagged, there must be a way to that.

Linux Firmware v2.0.65.2848.4 [production-185]

New firmware, but again no update. What about the update flag? Has the problem been identified yet as to why some controllers are not receiving an update?

Probably busy with Pi projects.

Hello @Odysee and @Tim88

The automatic updates feature is now included in the PRD and the roadmap. In the meantime, we’ll look into how we can manage the current updates.


What is the dropdown here for?
Options
1
2
Auto

Hello @BillC

That dropdown is for the WebRTC version. We recommend auto or version 2.

WebRTC definition:
In the context of security cameras, WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) enables live video streaming. This technology allows for low-latency, real-time video transmission, making it ideal for applications where a quick response is essential, such as monitoring live security footage.

When WebRTC is used in security cameras, it provides secure, encrypted connections, ensuring the privacy and security of the video feed. Additionally, since WebRTC can establish peer-to-peer connections, it minimizes delays and reduces the need for bandwidth-heavy centralized servers, which can improve the efficiency and speed of the system, especially beneficial in large-scale security deployments.

Oh ok. I was thinking it was firmware update.
I feel like an idiot now😂

Thanks

Bill

The heading text is really small for the setting.
Also noticed that if I try and disable auto update it doesn’t. Do I need to hit tab or enter or something?

Hello @BillC,

No, actually, @Tim88 is right—the text is indeed too small to notice easily. We’ll report this to the developers to improve readability.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

I just read the newsletter about a new Ezlo thermostat:

What is meant by “Easy Scheduling”? Will there finally be a simple temperature management where you can, for example, specify that thermostats 1+2+3 are in room A and window sensors A+B+C are in room A? If one of the sensors is open, all thermostats are switched off. And the heating plan is controlled via a kind of bar display instead of a lot of MeshBots.

At the moment, it’s not much fun and it’s also very confusing to work with thermostats.

I took a look at the instructions. The thermostat seems to control a heating system independently via cable. So it is probably not intended for Z-Wave radiator thermostats.

The programming is done directly on the device. So there will probably be no convenient schedule programming via the Ezlo controller.

I always question how much end user feedback is considered when this stuff is designed (not just Ezlo) and how much is we’re going to give you what ‘we’ want or what we think you want?
