Firmware Updates 2.8.0/1.8.0 for P44-DSB and P44-LC

2024-10-10

The updated firmware brings new features, improvements, matter 1.3 (beta) support and some bug fixes for P44-LC/AC light and automation controllers as well as for the P44-DSB Digital Strom bridge.

In particular, the new firmware features two new "bridging" device types allowing better integration between Digital Strom and matter. For the first time, "briding" devices are now available in the standalone P44-LC as well:

  • scene responder bridge: monitors scene calls in a room or at the appartment level and forwards the status to matter as a virtual contact sensor. This allows to set up matter-side automations based on scene calls in Digital Strom or P44-LC.
  • scene caller bridge: can call (and undo) a specific scene based on a matter-side virtual on-off switch. Giving the virtual switch an appropriate name, this allows calling specific scenes by voice or home apps.

Under the hood, the matter bridge (beta) has been updated to use matter 1.3 and profits from the stability and other improvements in that release.

Whether you use a P44-DSB for Digital Strom integration, or a P44-LC/AC as a small, efficient smart home/room/office standalone solution - the update to 2.8.0/1.8.0 is recommended as it also fixes some bugs.

As always, you can read up the details about the new version in the release notes
