In follow up to the Hub Firmware 17.11 post-mortem, we are going to begin rolling out an update version (17.12) to customers currently on version 16.14. Similar to the version 17.11 release, we are going to do this in a staged process - you can reference the details here.
Release notes are as follows:
Numerous stability improvements and bugfixes
New diagnostics for hub problems
Ability to selectively enable automatic updates for some devices
New, more reliable update delivery mechanism
Edit added 5/4/2017: These release notes also apply to version 17.13. The differences between 17.12 and 17.13 were only during delivery of the update. The final firmware is the same.
Edit added 5/17/2017: Additional release of 17.14 to address issues with ZigBee during the delivery of the update to new users. The final firmware is the same.
Correct. The fixes in 17.12 are all related to the migration and update mechanism for going from 16.14 to 17.x. We’ll eventually bring everyone back together on the 17.12 version, but there’s not a strong push to get 17.11 to 17.12 right this second.
LOL. I get the occasional grunt… then immediate “IT’S NOT WORKIN… Oh, it’s working fine”. The difference between .5 second automation and 1.5 second automation is apparently a century in her eyes
Speaking of, it’s been a while since I’ve been paying attention. So, I was wondering: How much of the functionality has been moved to being local vs via the cloud. I’ve always felt that the more that happens the more reliable things will be.
