Lockbox Firmware Changelog

Review user-visible Lockbox firmware changes, known cautions, and support guidance by version.

User-visible releases are listed newest first. The source notes did not include verified release dates, so none are invented here.

The Lockbox does not currently expose a complete public release ledger with dates, compatibility, and rollback packages. Before changing firmware channels or reinstalling a version, contact support@researchanddesire.com.

v1.17.66

  • Added automatic pairing from Chrome or Edge with Web Bluetooth.
  • Added Wi-Fi provisioning during Bluetooth pairing, so manual Wi-Fi setup is no longer required for the recommended flow.
  • Improved unpairing so an unpaired Lockbox restarts and advertises for pairing again.

v1.17.63

  • Restored the battery status icon.
  • Added fallback behavior when the INA219 battery sensor is unavailable.

v1.17.62

  • Reverted the HTTP-client reuse and boot-sequence changes from v1.17.61 after stability concerns.

v1.17.58

  • Disabled the battery icon in the status bar. It was restored in v1.17.63.

  • Added configurable minimum and maximum duration boundaries for Public Voting.

v1.17.49

  • Added onboarding states for welcome, Wi-Fi setup, and device pairing.
  • Improved text wrapping and cursor positioning.

Known issues and recovery

If a documented feature does not appear, record the version displayed on the Lockbox and contact support. Do not assume that a lower version is compatible with current dashboard behavior. Follow Flash or Recover Lockbox Firmware only when support identifies the correct package and whether local data should be erased.
