Firmware update of the device
6.8.1
Firmware update using the device website
The ise smart connect KNX Hue makes it possible to install firmware updates using the device web-
site. Select
Update firmware
in the
System
menu on the device website to do so. The ise smart con-
nect KNX Hue will now automatically search the update server for a newer version and show the cur-
rent firmware version and the versions of any available updates. If a newer version is available, the
associated description of the version is also displayed.
If the new firmware is incompatible with the configuration of the previous firmware, a corresponding
message is displayed. A differentiation is made between the following cases here:
1. The new version provides new functionality. After the update, the device functions with the
same range of functions as before. New functions cannot be used until an ETS download of a
newer catalogue entry occurs.
2. The new version is completely incompatible with parametrisation in the version currently being
used. An ETS download is absolutely necessary. We recommend unloading the ETS applica-
tion program before the update and configuring the device with a new catalogue entry after the
update.
The update can be started using the
Update Firmware
button. Should an incompatibility arise, the up-
date must be confirmed again for security purposes.
6.8.2
Local firmware update without Internet access
Local updates can be performed instead of an online update if there is no Internet connection. This is
intended for devices which do not have an Internet connection at their installation site and are only ac-
cessible over the local network. You can download a current firmware file from
. The firm-
ware file can be selected locally using the Select File button and then started using the Update Firm-
ware button. In this case, the user is responsible for ensuring that the update is compatible (see chap-
ter 6.8.3 "Compatibility of catalogue entry with firmware"). A downgrade to an older version is not pos-
sible using this process.
6.8.3
Compatibility of catalogue entry with firmware
The version numbers in the catalogue entry and the firmware use an X.Y format. The main number, X,
of the respective version indicates whether the catalogue entry and firmware are compatible. This is the
case if both main numbers are identical. The second part of the version number, Y, is not relevant for
compatibility. It simply indicates updates within the version.
If new firmware has a higher main number, it cannot be guaranteed that this version is compatible with
an old ETS catalogue entry. For this reason, we recommend always unloading the application program
from the device before the update and to then only use the new catalogue entry after that.
If the main numbers are the same, it may be necessary to use a new ETS catalogue entry for full func-
tionality. This is not absolutely necessary if the new functions are not used in your project, however.
