Versions, updates, backups and the demo
- 01Versions explainedSurface version vs firmware stamp, what a release cut does and does not change, where to read each on the dashboard.
- 02Updating the brain, the toolchain and the fleet firmwareThe routine order: brain first, then the ESPHome toolchain if offered, then firmware with a canary. Ethernet gates, refusals, rollback and the SSH fallbacks.
- 03Backup, restore, setup profiles and factory resetWhat a backup zip contains, how import works, what a setup profile carries (and what it deliberately leaves out), and what factory reset does and does not touch.
- 04Storage, retention and housekeepingWhat fills the SD card (history, journals, media, camera frames, build caches), the retention knobs for each, and a monthly checklist.
- 05Demo mode and the public demoWhat demo mode simulates, what it refuses, how to run it locally, and where the public demo lives.
