Firmware Updates

johnpd

ZWO please give us an option to bypass firmware updates. I was at a public star party Wednesday evening. I started the ASIAIR and the first thing that popped up was a firmware which I had no way of bypassing. If that messed up my ASIAIR I would have been SOL. PLEASE GIVE US THE OPTION TO TEMPORARILY BYPASS FIRMWARE UPDATES UNTIL A MORE CONVENIENT TIME.

Thanks,

johnpd Firmware updates are triggered by updates of the app on your mobile device. Make sure that you do not update the app until a more convenient moment OR make sure to update the firmware of the ASIAir as soon as you update the app.

As @wvreeven mentioned, you already have control of that.

The matching firmware is a payload in the ASIAIR app itself. If you don't allow the app to be updated, the firmware will also not be updated.

iOS will not update an app if you have set it up not to auto update. Not just for ASIAIR, but any app.

DO NOT connect the tablet/Smartphone where you have the app installed to the internet.

I'm still on the old version 😃

I had not knowingly updated it. I looked at what was recently updated and saw that the ASIAIR app along with several other apps had been updated a few days ago. I was unaware that was happening. I checked the settings for the App Store. Automatic downloads was unchecked. The only thing that was set was to automatically download "new" purchases from other devices. Since I also have another iPad, that statement is apparently being interpreted as "new" purchase also means updates. I have now shut that off and will only update the ASIAIR app when I feel safe to do so.

Thanks,

I would like the ability to bypass as well when loading the app. It's not convenient to go into the android setting and turn the update feature on and off and once updated there does not appear to be a simple path back to the older version.
