Please reference your yellobrik serial number to see if you need the update. We provide a “cut off” serial number showing when we started shipping units with the new firmware installed. If your serial number is higher than the number shown, then the update has been factory installed and you do not need to re-program your module. Please check back often to see if any new updates have been released. (if you registered your warranty when you purchased the unit you will be automatically notified of any new updates when released)
