# How do I update my NODEs?

You update your NODEs® directly in the REVOTION App – in three steps either manually or fully automatically in the background. The images show in red what you need to tap.

**Manual:** You search for updates yourself and start them whenever it suits you.

**Automatic:** From BRAIN® 2.2.1 onwards, the system handles it automatically in the background.

## Manual Update

**1. Open Configuration**

Tap the menu icon in the top left to open the side menu. In the "System" section, select **Configuration**.

**2. Access Updates**

You'll land in the "My REVOTION® Network" overview. At the top you'll see your BRAIN® with the number of connected NODEs®. Under "System Settings," tap the **Updates** tile – it's on the left in the second row.

**3. Search and Update**

First tap **Check for Updates** (1) – this checks whether new firmware is available. If an update is ready, you install it on BRAIN® and NODEs® with **Update** (2).

The process can take a few minutes. You'll see the progress directly in this dialog as a progress bar with counter – you do **not** need to restart the app.

Keep the system powered during the update and stay in range until it reports completion.

## Automatic Updates

**From BRAIN® Version 2.2.1 onwards:** Enable the **Automatic Updates** toggle in the same dialog – BRAIN® will then fetch new firmware automatically as soon as it's available and a connection exists, and install it in the background. You typically won't notice anything.

You can disable the toggle at any time. Without it, you decide on each update yourself.

**Note:** The ambient lighting may flicker briefly during the update. This is normal and not an error.

## Update Log

You can read what happened during an update at any time: expand the **Show Logs** section in the Updates dialog. There you'll find the update process logs and the history of changes made.

You'll find the same information via the side menu under **Update History**.
