7. Software updates

Your mirror's software improves over time. When a newer version is ready for your mirror, the app offers it — you install it with one tap. Important fixes can also arrive on their own; the app tells you when that happens.

Updating from the app

Open your mirror's details in the app. You'll always see the software version the mirror is currently running — and when Eclario has published a newer one, an Update button naming the version it will install.

• Tap the button and the update starts. The new software downloads in the background — the light and buttons keep working normally the whole time — and the update ends with a brief restart, well under a minute. After the restart the light is off; a tap brings it back.
• The app shows the update running, and afterwards the new version — with a confirmation once it's done.
• If the mirror is offline at that moment, the update simply waits and starts by itself the next time the mirror comes online. The app tells you so when you start it. The update waits for up to a week. If the mirror stays offline longer, the waiting update is cancelled, and the app offers it again once the mirror is back online. While the update is waiting, the card may show the Update button again — there is no need to tap it, and tapping it does no harm: the mirror still installs the update only once.

Updates Eclario installs for you

Important fixes can install without you starting them. This is never invisible: the app lets you know the update is running, and it works exactly the same way as one you start yourself — including the one-week limit: if your mirror was offline for longer, the app offers that version as a normal update once the mirror is back online.

Built-in safety

• The mirror installs only software that is genuinely published by Eclario — it verifies every update before installing it.
• If Eclario withdraws a version, a mirror still waiting for it never installs it.
• A failed update cannot break the mirror. If new software doesn't start properly, the mirror automatically returns to the previous version on its own and keeps working as before. The app tells you: the mirror's card shows that the update failed and which version the mirror is back on, and offers the update again — tap Update to retry whenever you like, or leave it; the mirror works normally either way. If the app wasn't open at the time, the card may instead just show the same update again after about ten minutes — that means the same thing.
