Schedule Automatic Updates

For automatic distribution of the latest software, firmware and operating system updates, the system update setting may be added as part of a BlueRange Gateway configuration. This setting allows you to specify the update URLs and a time schedule for when your system should automatically update, if new versions are available. It is also possible to use the configuration for manual updates by un-ticking all day schedules.

For more information on updates, make sure to also read our dedicated chapter on updates and versioning.

The configuration is split into two parts with the first part concerning the Gateway Software + Mesh Firmware .iot packages and the second part concerning the update of the BlueRange Gateway OS update.

The default url that is specified is the official source for retrieving the latest stable firmware releases. The automatic update then polls the source regularly and will distribute the firmware according to the execution time plan chosen. At this time, all BlueRange devices available to the system are updated. Missing devices are skipped and retried on the next trigger occurrence.

As there are many BlueRange compatible devices, we cannot host all firmware updates from all vendors at once. Therefore, you might want to add additional URLs provided by the vendor of your BlueRange devices. These URLs will also be polled for firmware updates and will be installed accordingly. They will be installed in the order in which you specify the update URLs.

Please contact your device vendor to provide the Update URL for his devices.

For BlueRange Gateway operating system updates, the gateway uses a different mechanism to fetch the substantially larger update files. The default URL (https://update.bluerange.io) points to our server where we always provide the latest stable release.

If your configuration points to the default update server, the update schedule is managed by us. If you need a custom schedule, please contact us.

If our update server cannot be made available for your on-premise installation, you will likely need to set up your own update server and put it in the configuration.
