Since Vodafone has discontinued the “V-Home” service, such hubs will no longer receive firmware updates. It never received updates after Edge Drivers were introduced. > > You can use it as a door stopper, though. Return it and get a recent model, like the Aeotec Smart Home Hub 2 (V4). ---

The latest known firmware for the ET-WV523 is 52.21 (last updated June 2024). These models haven’t received any further updates since then and are discontinued. They are completely useless as a SmartThings hub. ---

They also disabled the smartthings functionality on these devices, unless you are grandfathered in. There is no way yo reset these devices and use smartthings, even with the older firmware.
