Bridge Beta FW 1.18.x / 2.9.x with automatic firmware update capabilities

Nuki Beta Program Nuki Bridge Beta
1

With the latest Beta firmware version 1.18.x / 2.9.x you can now test following new experimental features:

  • Automatically receive firmware updates for all connected Nuki devices and the Bridge itself (experimental)
    • The Bridge checks once a day automatically for available updates for all connected devices and the Bridge itself. If an update is available for a connected Nuki device, it is going to be automatically installed between 02:00 and 04:00 a.m.
  • Manually trigger an immediate update check and installation for all connected Nuki device and the Bridge itself (experimental)
    • The immediate update can be manually initiated by utilizing the already existing /fwupdate endpoint of the HTTP API - check below for further details

Supported devices and versions

  • Currently only available for the Nuki Bridges (FW 1.18.x / 2.9.x)
  • The automatic update is supported by following Nuki devices:
    • Smart Lock 1.0, running the firmware 1.10.x or newer
    • Smart Lock 2.0, running the firmware 2.8.x or newer
    • Nuki Opener, running the firmware 1.5.x or newer

Limitations

  • Any running update process is immediately stopped in case the Bridge receives any command, to ensure the basic functionality and availability of all connected Nuki devices
    • e.g. if an user remotely sends a unlock command to the door
    • if an automatic update is interrupted, it is reinitiated on the next day
  • It may happen, that it takes up to 48 hours to get a new firmware version installed onto the connected Nuki device, as the Bridge only checks once per day for new/available updates

Note: The Bridge will always return “success”: true regardless to whether an update is available for any of the devices or any update is succesfully installed or not!

The update will be done automatically if your Bridge is part of the Beta program.

Hello Stefan,

when the “Automatically receive firmware updates” is released, will this be an opt-in feature, or an opt-out feature, or always on without possibility to disable?

My question targets to the reasonableness to implement the /fwupdate feature to our Nuki gateway.
If the automatic update is anyhow “always-on” without way to disable it, I wouldn’t see any requirement for me to add a button for manual firmware update.
But if it is opt-in or opt-out, an update button might be a nice feature for our users.

Regards,
Christian

The version number 2.9.x the same as the “firmwareVersion” or the “wifiFirmwareVersion” from the /info Endpoint?
I have firmwareVersion=2.9.1 and wifiFirmwareVersion=2.2.0, now I don’t know whether it is too old or too new - because I can’t find a 2.9.1 here

The stated version 2.9.x refers to the “firmwareVersion”.

The firmware versions of your Bridge are already covering this feature.
