UI4 Update and new Vera 2

So I am beginning my Z-wave network this week whenever my Vera, Kwikset lock, and thermostat arrive to join the lamp/appliance modules I picked up today at Radio Shack (if you haven’t already, check out your local Shack…they are clearing the things out, I picked up three for $50).

On to my actual question. At what point should I upgrade to UI4? It seems like it fixes a lot of problems, but can I install the update before I do anything else or do I need to run through and set it up as the instructions state, make sure everything works, and then update it?

Thanks in advance!

(Also, whats a good/cheap IR blaster to control a TV and Comcast HD DVR?)

You do not have to setup the devices before upgrading to the newest firmware. Not sure what firmware they ship with now. I had UI2 when I got mine back in June/July. My fathers who just got his a few weeks back had UI2. I upgraded to UI4 before setting up the rest of the unit.

I would definately upgrade before setting up
