Pop-up notification

This feature is only with the software version 2.0.0.0 or higher available and when the HygroLab is permanently connected to the internet.

As soon as a new software version is available a pop-up notification will appear after the user logged into the HygroLab.

By confirming of the notification the HygroLab will make automatically a software update.

Manually updating

For the use of the HygroLab it's very important to have always the newest software version.

Go to "Main menu" > "Settings" > "Device settings" > "Device settings" > select "Update software version" to check if a new software version is available.

In the device settings select "Update software version" to check if a new software version is available.

If a new software version is available then this will be shown on the top and if the HygroLab has the newest software version this will be also shown on the top.

If the HygroLab has updated some newer software versions the older versions are still available to downgrade the HygroLab in case of trouble.

Every update comes with a release note and in the "Update software version" the old release note can also be seen there.

NOTE: Do not download updates from other systems like Chromium (Android / Google) this could cause the hole system of the HygroLab to fail!
