I was happy to see an M1/EZ8 firmware update, hoping it might resolve a few glitches or provide some improvements.
In looking at Elk's release notes, it looks like everything in this update is related to wireless operation. I don't do anything wireless in my system. So I'm thinking I'll skip this update. Anybody know if there's any hidden benefit for a non-wireless system to install this update??
 
 
Usually, with any system, firmware is always done in an "as needed" basis.

If Elk provided more details on the SPAR's then I'd consider it, but if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.
 
Even Elk recommends only upgrade if requested by tech support. If you are working, you best not upgrade.
 
Until Elk actually provides a realistic SPAR with their FW's you're limited to the bullet pointed fixes and then the rest is a crapshoot until you determine if your individual issue may have been addressed in the FW.
