mrorange Posted December 13, 2023 Report Posted December 13, 2023 My remote is currently at firmware version 4.12.18. I see people commenting on newer versions of firmware. but I'm not sure how to get it. People mention using the Skip App, but I don't see any options or get any prompts to update the firmware. Any help is appreciated. Quote
Uzi2 Posted December 16, 2023 Report Posted December 16, 2023 I am in the same position and from what I can gather the updated firmware is embedded in the app updates. It is supposed to prompt you to update the remote firmware, but I've never seen this. Take a look at the Beta section for Jason's latest post - update with IR learning. This says that firmware 4.13.2 is included, but I am not prompted to install it and still have 4.12.18 Quote

mrorange Posted December 19, 2023 Author Report Posted December 19, 2023 I was able to get the firmware upgraded to 4.13.21. After that, the app gave me the option to update to 4.13.22. Thanks for the help! Quote
ranchfroggio Posted January 5, 2024 Report Posted January 5, 2024 I read this thread and followed the instructions...It tried to update the firmware, however, the prompt that came up just updated the same firmware I already had which is 4.12.22. Is there a different app that needs to be downloaded? The mac App I have that I tried to update the firmware is 0.9.955 I bought a Skip remote about 2 weeks ago and the battery is already dead. I took the batteries out and put in brand new batteries. Still dead: I took out the new ones and put in another pair of new ones..and it worked. It should be noted that I have a battery tester and the batteries were green meaning still good full charge. This leads me to think that these remotes have a software or firmware problem that causes the remote to think the battery is dead. I ordered another one not knowing this was a problem . Remote model: SKIP.1S.RELEASE.A06 Registration date: 12-22-23 Firmware: 4.12.22-0-g214efde I use a Mac Quote
