How To Update The FIRMWARE On A Lightwave Device

What is a Firmware Update?

‘Firmware’ can be described as a specific class of software that is responsible for determining how a piece of hardware functions. Lightwave devices are capable of receiving over-the-air firmware updates through the Link Plus hub. Available firmware updates are identified on each device tile within the Lightwave app (see the screenshot below)

Some recent Lightwave firmware updates include additional device features such as energy monitoring, push notifications, and new automations.

Firmware update, step-by-step

1. In the Lightwave app, long press on device tile to enter the Device Page.
2. Device Page > Settings > Firmware Update (If this screen displays the message “your device is up to date”, this means that a firmware update is not available for your device at this time.)
3. If the firmware update has been made available, click on the “Update” button.
4. If the firmware update is available for multiple devices, go ahead and push ‘Update’ on each individual device in the app. This will create a queue, and each device will update one after another.
5. Once the firmware is complete you will get an app notification to confirm completion.  
6. If you are updating a dimmer, it will run through an AUTO CALIBRATION (flash Green/White) which will turn your lights ON and OFF. This will help find the optimum dimming levels required to run the connected lighting circuits. When the calibration is complete the LED indicator will revert to its previous state.
7. Now you can pop back into the app and enjoy any new features if available and bug fixes!
   
   

*Important Notice*

Your selected device and Link Plus hub LED lights will begin to flash rapidly during the firmware update. This normal and may take several minutes per device. We recommend to NOT use the app or devices during firmware updates.
