    Would it be possible to put a date next to the revision?  That would make it easier to track.  Also is it possible to display the current firmware version on the OffGrid?  Maybe show that on the Web App when connected?  Many thanks and great work :-)

    Great points, as usual, Andrew. We've implemented the versioning text into the next deployment. The article will be reworked to reflect deployment dates/timestamps as well.

    Thank you for helping us improve!
