We’re excited to announce the start of a new SmartThings Hub Firmware Beta. Version 0.56.4 will begin rolling out in batches starting no sooner than Feb 11, 2025. This will be a phased rollout so that we can keep a close eye on any issues that arise so your hub may not be updated immediately. The hub will be offline for about a minute during the update. See below for more specific details about the update.

Popcorning refers when controlling a group of lights at once there is sometimes a visible delay before individual lights respond
This feature will be slowly rolled out after the release so you may not notice immediate changes

When will the firmware release be? I’ve been waiting on this to be resolved since October. My account says I enrolled in beta 3 years ago however I have never seen any beta release’s on my device. I’m about ready to move all my locks over to the amazon ring hub because they constantly go offline all day long.
We’ll check with the team if you were enrolled correctly in the program.
For this, we need the email you use to login to Centercode, if it’s different than your SmartThings account, share that email as well.
Also, please open support access to your account so we can get some information of the Hub.
Confirm the email account registered in the forum is the same one you use for SmartThings. If not, please share it with me over DM
Select the time period and confirm - In this step, please select “Until turned off”, once the team finishes, we’ll let you know so you can disable it again.
