This page presents download files and installation instructions to update your Smart Dimmer 6 via OTA software and form part of the larger Smart Dimmer 6 user guide.


As a part of our Gen5 range of products, Smart Dimmer 6 is firmware upgradable. Some gateways will support firmware upgrades over-the-air (OTA) and have Smart Dimmer 6's firmware upgrades packaged as part of their platform. For those that don't yet support such upgrades, Smart Dimmer 6's firmware can be upgraded using Z-Stick from Aeotec and Microsoft Windows.
