Firmware 2.8.1 release - important bug fix + improvements
Just at the end of the year, an annoying bug in firmware 2.8.0 was discovered that could affect the setup of new DALI devices. The new firmware 2.8.1 fixes this bug and brings some general improvements.
Installing the new firmware 2.8.1 is generally recommended, even on devices without DALI – because, as always, it also contains a number of general improvements. Details can be found in the release notes.
The bug in 2.8.0 can only have an effect when installing and commissioning new DALI devices if the functions for readdressing are used in case of DALI address conflicts. Existing DALI lighting systems are not affected, there is no urgency to install the new firmware for customers as long as no changes are made to the connected DALI devices.
However, if problems occur, you should always check (not only in this case, but also in general) whether a newer firmware is available. This also applies immediately after the installation of a P44 device. In this context, we would also like to draw your attention once again to the detailed installation and support documentation.
But now I hope that you will have as few problems as possible with your P44-xx installations, thank you for your loyalty to the P44 products, and wish you happy holidays and a good start into the New Year!
