Appendix D: Upgrading Your Firmware

The ISY's Administrative Console checks for latest release firmware automatically. When a
new release is detected, you will be notified and given on-screen instructions on
performing the update.
In some cases, however, you may want to manually download and install a newer
firmware. Some beta firmware releases may contain important features or device support
that you may want to utilize. The Administrative Console will NOT notify you of beta
firmware releases.
To manually download and install a firmware release, please see the following forum
where both final and beta releases are regularly posted along with specific upgrade
instructions:

In general, please note the following before performing a firmware update:
The downloaded firmware MUST remain zipped. DO NOT unzip the downloaded file.
Please ensure you have a good backup before attempting a firmware update.
Disable all anti-virus and firewall software before attempting a firmware update.
Be sure to run firmware updates from a stable and, if possible, hardwired network
connection. Avoid running firmware upgrades from marginal wifi connections or off-
site locations if possible.
Once downloaded, click the HELP pull-down menu, then MANUALLY UPGRADE MY
LIGHTING, and browse to the firmware file you have downloaded.
After upgrading your firmware, please close all browser windows and clear your Java
cache as outlined in this article:
