Smart by Bond Firmware Updates - No Release Notes

1

Can we get some updated release notes for Bond firmware updates? I haven’t seen any documentation on what changes are being made in each firmware update in quite a while.

Also, I have several Minka Aire “Smart by Bond” ceiling fans that are showing a firmware update from 3.5 to 3.22.4. Being that I’ve had no issues with the current firmware, I am wondering what changes are being made with the new firmware and whether I really need to update.

Thanks,
Mark

The same here with Star fan with SBB. I’m working with Home assistant integration and afraid I will loose it if I upgrade.

I went on and installed the update. Went smooth and keep working with home assistant

Ok we will get you some notes, sorry about the opaqueness. It’s not very significant tho. When we eventually have the v4 there will be more such as WPA3 support, but for now within v3 it is limited to some minor things.

Hey folks, what happened is we got a request from the manufacturer to make the following change:

  • Fixed issue in which the dimming the light through the remote make the fan unable to execute some commands. (Not sure if this applies to your fans.)
  • Reduced time to cycle dim the brightness from 22 sec to 9.7 sec. This applies to all fans with serial numbers starting KI or KS (all of Minka).
