Here you will find the change-log and updates for VOOL products.

The latest updates are at the top.

LMC Firmware Update 4.5.0

May, 2024 / LMC Firmware

What's new:

  • Updated LMC power metering current reading to 24 bits on the comm-line.

  • Improved the equal power share algorithm. Previously, when consumption was at the grid limit, new charging sessions couldn't start until there was enough free current, even if ongoing chargers' current could be reduced.

  • Modified first-time update logic in LMC. Upon boot, the LMC will not auto-update immediately but will wait until around midnight to start the update checking thread

  • Plus many other stability and performance updates.

Please note:

  • LMC Firmware updates automatically as long as the device is connected to the internet.

  • LMC firmware updates are rolled out gradually, so it will take some time before they reach every LMC.
