As a part of our Gen5 range of products, LED Strip is firmware upgradable. Some gateways will support firmware upgrades over-the-air (OTA) and have LED Strip firmware upgrades packaged as part of their platform. For those that don't yet support such upgrades, LED Strip firmware can be upgraded using Z-Stick from Aeotec (or any other Z-Wave USB Adapter such as a UZB1 or SmartStick+ as further examples) and Microsoft Windows.
