New NodOn Connect app

What is the NodOn Connect app used for?

NodOn Connect is an app available on the Play Store.

This app lets you update the firmware (internal software) of NodOn modules in the Zigbee range from your smartphone, very simply. Firmware updates may be released over time, for example to add new features or to ensure compatibility with new products, always with interoperability in mind, which is part of NodOn's DNA.

Over-the-Air updates for your products

Most products from other ranges require a qualified person to update their firmware, using specific equipment and a specific procedure. This can be time-consuming for the customer and means they have to send their products back to the manufacturer for this operation. With the NodOn Connect app, all these hassles disappear. Every user can update their products Over-the-Air without having to remove them. The product can therefore evolve and is not stuck with the version it had at the time of purchase.

How does it work?

Zigbee 3.0 modules are based on a 2.4 GHz platform, so they can also connect via Bluetooth. The app scans the QR code on the module and then displays (via the smartphone's Bluetooth connection) the current firmware version, the product type and its reference. It also tells you whether a newer version is available. If so, just tap to update it. The app fetches the new firmware from its database, downloads it and installs it on the product with no further action required from the user. Once installation is complete, the product is ready to use straight away.
