Major update for Zigbee products (Zigbee v3.4.6)

We have started a gradual rollout of a new update to the smart hub's "brain" for Zigbee devices (the wireless network used by many of your sensors and switches).

This update makes your thermostats smarter, provides a more accurate overview of battery levels, and ensures the system becomes even more stable in your everyday life.

Important rollout information

  • Gradual rollout: The update is being rolled out in phases to beta users over the next few days.
  • Get it faster: If you have enabled automatic updates, you will receive the new version first.

The biggest and most important improvements

Smarter heating control (Thermostats) Previously, the system could ignore a command if you tried to set the temperature lower or higher than what the thermostat could actually handle. Now, the system has become smarter: If you request 5 degrees, but your thermostat has an absolute minimum of 7 degrees, it will now automatically set itself to 7 degrees instead of rejecting the command entirely. This makes your heating control far more reliable.

Better overview of device connection status (Online/Offline) We have improved how the system updates the status of your devices. Please note that it takes some time before a device shows as "offline" in the app if you, for example, unplug it. The system waits 70 minutes for mains-powered devices and 130 minutes for battery-powered devices before notifying you. This is completely normal and is done because many devices "sleep" during periods to save power.

More stable smart hub We have fixed an issue that could cause the system to restart if a smart device sent an incorrect or unexpected message. Now, the system will simply skip the bad message and continue running as normal, providing you with a more stable smart home.

Improvements for specific products

Futurehome EV charger

  • Solution for cars that interrupt charging: Some electric cars interrupt charging if the current drops too low (below 2A). Our support team can now manually activate a special setting to resolve this. If this works well, it will become available to everyone in the next update.
  • Less network chatter: The charger now sends power consumption updates every 60 seconds instead of every 28 seconds. This frees up space in the wireless network for other important messages.
  • Correct display: Fixed an issue where 1-phase chargers could report the wrong mode in the app.

Sensors and batteries

  • Aqara motion sensor: This sensor now reports light levels (lux) and battery status correctly again.
  • Generic batteries: We have made the measurements more accurate so you get better and more reliable alerts in the app before a battery runs out.
  • New products supported: We have added better support and measurements for two popular Namron products (4512789 and 451291-N).

Accurate power measurements

  • We have added the option to fine-tune and calibrate power meters manually. This is especially useful for certain inexpensive meters (e.g., purchased directly from China) that do not always follow official standards completely accurately.
