    I still don’t see PUBLISHED release notes for UV PRO v0.9.3 firmware that the Android APP wanted to perform. Is ​the Android APP the only way to update the firmware?

    Hi Brian — you were correct: the changelog had stopped at V0.9.2.

    The V0.9.3 release notes have now been added.

    The supported customer update path is the BTECH UV Programmer app.

    Please export or share your channel groups before updating; after a major firmware update, a Factory Reset followed by re-syncing from the app is recommended.

    Thank you for flagging the documentation gap.
