  • Added and modified sequences and states for the light indicators for the LED-lights.

  • Logic for hardware validation.

How to update:

  1. Grab any USB drive and plug it into a computer. Delete any existing files on the USB drive and ensure the filesystem on the USB drive is FAT or FAT32.

Ensure the filesystem on the USB drive is FAT or FAT32.

  1. Download the .zip file from the link below and extract all contents into the root directory of the USB drive as shown in the picture.

Only if you have changed the default password for the Relay Control Panel, then open the file default.cfg with any editor and change the first line "01_user_password=MyPassword" to include your password.

  1. Make sure the Relay is powered ON, then insert the USB Drive into the USB port of the Relay.

Do not unplug the USB drive until the lights of the Relay starts flashing

  1. When updating from version 1.3.2, wait until the lights on the Relay start flashing Green, it takes less than 1 min when, then unplug the USB. When updating from version 2.0.0 and above, unplug the USB when the lights start flashing Green, for this version the update will start after unplugging the USB.

During the update process, you can expect the Relay to restart, with the fans activating and the lights pulsing red until the process is complete. Do not remove the USB or power off the device while the update is running, as this may cause serious issues with the operation of the device.

Update the Anon software to the latest version.

After a successful update to 2.0.3, go to Relay settings and turn the Relay OFF, save changes, reboot, then turn it ON again, save changes, and reboot.

Check your Anon version in the Home page of the Relay Control Panel

You´re done!
