9.1 Menu item TempoLink 

This menu item includes information about the TempoLink 

smart assistant like its serial number, firmware version and 

part number. In addition you can change the password and 

update the firmware of your TempoLink smart assistant.

Firmware Update

Firmware updates of the TempoLink smart assistant are 

available for download from the MTS Sensors website  

www.mtssensors.com

. The firmware update is a zip file. 

Download the zip file, save it on your computer and unzip 

it. To install the firmware update, connect your TempoLink 

smart assistant to your computer via USB cable or via Wi-Fi. 

A firmware update is not possible when connecting via 

smartphone or tablet.

In the TempoLink menu item click the UPDATE button to 

open the “Configure TempoLink” window (Fig. 11). Click 

the CHOOSE FILE button. Use the dialog to navigate to the 

location where you saved the firmware update file and select 

the 

update.tar

 file. The selected file is displayed. To 

execute the update, click the SUBMIT button (Fig. 12).

NOTICE

No action is required from you during the installation of the 

update. Do not disconnect the TempoLink smart assistant 

from the power supply during the update process.

During the update process, the TempoLink smart assistant 

will automatically shut down and restart. During installation, 

a USB drive will appear and disappear at your computer. 

The LEDs will also change during the process. Typically, the 

three LEDs will turn green before changing to orange. The 

installation may take several minutes (typically 3…4 minutes) 

even if the LEDs do not change. After successful installation, 

the orange LEDs go out. LED A and LED B light up depending 

on the connection. LED C lights up green. If you have 

connected your computer to the TempoLink smart assistant 

via Wi-Fi, restore the Wi-Fi connection after the installation 

is complete. The Wi-Fi connection is interrupted during the 

update. Refresh your browser and use the TempoLink smart 

assistant as usual.
