Report knxprods that can be updated

Lukáš Polívka

Is there any way to see which knxprods in the project can be updated either because

  • there's already an updated knxprod version in the project, or
  • there's a newer knxprod in the online / local catalog?

Seems like currently I have to manually search for each product in the catalog and then check if there's a newer version available than what's in the project (for each individual device).

I thought this might be what I'm looking for:

But the list is empty:

(Even after adding the updated knxprod to the project.)

Am I missing anything?

    A catalog entry with new version dosen't guarantee that that version will work with your device. You don't want to update through catalog. You should do it through update package or producent's ETS app. For example MDT app scans all MDT devices and checks for updates. ETS has no way of knowing about avalibility of new update packages so it can't inform you.

    I'm talking about knxprods (application programs) here, not firmware. The MDT app you are talking about is for updating firmware.

    What I do want is an automated way of telling me if and when updated knxprods are available compared to what's in the currently open project, in . (Basically what the various manufacturers' (MDT, Jung, ise, …) firmware apps are doing, but a) for knxprods, b) in a vendor-neutral manner directly from ETS.)

    Yes, I'm aware of the fact that some manufacturers don't know how to handle hardware revisions (e.g. properly naming/marking them) vs their software package (knxprod, firmware) versioning. Perhaps KNX Association should create some best practice document and educate manufacturers

    By the way, from what I understand a centralized firmware update "catalog" (not sure if the Association is going to host the updates, or if it will just point to each individual manufacturer's firmware update server) is on the roadmap for ETS. So far you can only update manually or use manufacturers' apps or proprietary solutions. So yeah manufacturers will have to do a better job of ensuring their hardware/software/firmware are compatible and we will benefit from an universal solution. Saying it can't be done is backwards.
