One crucial aspect of this is regularly updating the firmware on your WEC3 controllers. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to update your WEC3 controller firmware, unlocking the latest features and improvements to enhance your lighting experience.

Understanding the Importance of Firmware Updates

Firmware updates for the WEC3 controller are not just about fixing bugs or addressing minor issues. These updates often introduce new features, improvements, and enhancements that can significantly improve the functionality and capabilities of your Minleon permanent lighting system. By keeping your WEC3 controllers up-to-date, you can take advantage of the latest advancements, ensuring your lighting system operates at its full potential.

Preparing for the Firmware Update

Before we dive into the update process, let’s ensure you have everything you need to get started:

Access to the Lights4sale.com website, where you can find the latest firmware update files.
Your WEC3 controller connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the device you’ll be using for the update.
A stable internet connection to facilitate a smooth firmware update process.

Step-by-Step Guide to Updating Your WEC3 Controller Firmware

Follow these simple steps to update the firmware on your WEC3 controller:

Open your web browser and navigate to Lights4sale.com.
Click on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner and select “Specialty Lighting”.
Scroll down and select the “Minleon Permanent Lighting” option.
Locate the “WEC3 Controller” and click on it.
At the bottom of the product description, you’ll find a link for “Free WEC3 Resources”. Click on this link.
On the resources page, click on the link at the top to download the latest firmware update file (BIN file).
Ensure your device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your WEC3 controller. If you haven’t set up a network for your WEC3 yet, go to your device’s settings, select Wi-Fi, and choose the network that your WEC3 is emitting.
In your web browser, type in the WEC3 controller’s IP address. The latest firmware version is 3.26, so select that option.
Click the “Upload WEC3 BIN File” button and wait for the file to upload. This process can take up to a minute.
Once the upload is complete, the screen will turn blue, and you’ll see a message saying “Upload Processed”.
Your WEC3 controller will now disconnect from the Wi-Fi network. It may reconnect automatically within 15 seconds, or you may need to go back to your device’s Wi-Fi settings and select the WEC3 network again.
After the WEC3 controller reconnects, click the “Configuration” button, and you should see the new firmware version (3.26) displayed in the top left corner, confirming the successful update.
