Web UI

Using the web UI to update the firmware on the Almond+ is fairly straight forward. First download the latest firmware (currently in the forum post you just came from). Next, open a web browser window and enter the IP address of your Almond+, by default this is 10.10.10.254. When prompted to log in, the default login is root/root. You should now see the screen below, unless you've previously entered the web UI. Please locate the Software options, as highlighted in the image below.

The next step involves locating the firmware file that you've downloaded by clicking on Chose file under the Flash new firmware image header. Browse to the firmware file and click Open (this might vary by your operating system). Note: Make sure Keep settings is ticked if you want to save your settings.
