As MIOPS, we are proud of our fan-base. We have MIOPS Users from all around the world. They create a great synergy, when they come together in social media platforms like “MIOPS Users Worldwide” on Facebook. They share the great pictures they have taken with MIOPS products, so more people can enjoy them. They ask questions to improve their skills and they even exchange ideas about what would be nice to have as MIOPS product features. This is where our task begins. If people, who love MIOPS need or want to have some other features, we start working on how to implement that. This question can have two answers: Smartphone App upgrade or firmware upgrade.

In some cases, the upgrade of the smartphone app is all you need. Most of the time this happens automatically on your phones, so some day you can notice new modes added to “MIOPS MOBILE” or “MIOPS Smart” apps. This is for sure the most convenient way of getting new features. The robust design of MIOPS products allows us to deliver new features without disturbing our users.

In some occasions a firmware upgrade can be inevitable. In such a case, you will need to take a few simple steps to complete the firmware upgrade of your MIOPS product. In this article we will see, how to upgrade the firmware of your MIOPS Mobile Remote.

First of all make sure that MIOPS Mobile Remote is fully charged. The firmware upgrade is process that should not be interrupted, so we don’t want the MIOPS Mobile to run out of power in the middle of the firmware upgrade. Once this condition is fulfilled, you can switch on the MIOPS Mobile Remote and connect to it with the MIOPS MOBILE app. After that, we can check if there is a new firmware available for your model. In order to do that, open the “Settings” menu on the MIOPS MOBILE app. You can do that by clicking the gear icon on the right top corner of the screen.
