Important: Please Read

C-7 hubs are receiving major Z-Wave updates with this release and require some user intervention to complete the process.

Part 1 of the update will happen automatically during startup. There may be an automatic reboot during first startup on 2.2.3.

Part 2 requires user intervention. Under Settings > Z-Wave Details you will see a new button "Firmware Update." This will start the radio firmware update.

Please note that the firmware update takes roughly 10 minutes to complete; please let this process complete fully before attempting to do anything. If you run into trouble please reach out on the community; we will be watching for people posting problems.

Once this is complete it is recommend going through and removing any failed nodes from previous inclusion issues.
