• Reports firmware state using the authenticated device telemetry contract.
• Updates the reported firmware version to 1.2.0.
• Preserves the existing HiveMQ and Wi-Fi configuration during OTA upgrades.

Upgrade

Use the Notificator mobile app to send the stable OTA update. USB installation remains available as a recovery and first-install option.

What changed

• Corrects duplicated and misaligned Wi-Fi and lock icons in the setup portal.
