Updates resolve technical issues (bug fixes) and close potential security vulnerabilities. Once your nomos Controller is connected to the internet, it becomes susceptible to hacker attacks. Since attack methods are constantly evolving, regular updates are necessary to ensure long-term protection of your nomos Controller. Regularly check your Controller to see if new updates for the nomos Controller firmware are available (Administration > Software Update).

Please note that Nomos System AG assumes no legal responsibility or liability for any disadvantages or damages that may arise from either an outdated or updated firmware.

Important Note: Create a backup before updating the firmware!

Be sure to back up your nomos Controller data before performing a firmware update (Administration > Configuration).

To successfully install and operate the nomos Controller, please ensure that the following system requirements are met:

• Power Supply: A reliable power source is required to continuously power the Controller and ensure uninterrupted operation

• Network Connection: A stable LAN connection is essential for the operation of the nomos Controller. It is important that the router is set up by a qualified professional to ensure that it is optimally adapted to your specific network structure. This careful setup is crucial to ensure reliable communication and effective integration of all connected devices.

• Router: The router used must support DHCP without exception.

• Checked systems and documentation : All deployed systems must be fully tested and handed over in working condition. Necessary documentation, such as for KNX, should be available and up to date to ensure smooth integration and maintenance.

Meeting these requirements ensures that your nomos Controller operates at its best and delivers a seamless smart home experience.
