Maxi Doser 2.2 Profilux 4 firmware question

[reeferisland]

If I add a Maxi Doser to my GHL Profilux 4 will the Profilux firmware need to be upgraded? I upgraded it when I first bought it 3 years ago but have not upgraded the firmware since.

Am I better off getting the stand alone Maxi Doser versus the ext Maxi Doser? Thinking in terms of ease of use and software updates.

Hello,

Doser 2.2 (Maxi) support was added at the beginning of 2023, so the ProfiLux firmware will have to be updated.

Concerning the Doser, a Doser SA (Autonomous) updates via USB, even if it is used in EXT (slave) mode.

Whereas a true EXT (slave) Doser updates via the PAB bus and requires all other PAB devices to be disconnected during the update.

On the GHL Connect app under System there is an update button next to firmware date. Will that update the firmware on the Profilux? Is it reliable to do it that way?

This is just information.

If I get the SA Doser will it show up in my present GHL Connect app on my phone and PC? How will the app know it exists?
