Robin ships features, bug fixes and customer requests often. Most updates to the Rooms app are automatic, so you do not need to go from room to room to update your room displays.
Automatic updates
Robin pushes most updates directly to your room displays. These include bug fixes, interface improvements, settings and other changes that do not interact with your device's native settings.
When the Rooms app receives an update, the interface flashes briefly and then reloads, as the video clip below shows. To avoid disrupting your day, updates follow this schedule:
- Scheduled deployments: Several times a week, non-urgent updates go out to all devices at 7pm in your local time zone.
- Manual deployments: For a widespread bug, the fix goes out as soon as it is available.
Updates for offline devices
If your device is offline when Robin releases an update, the Rooms app receives the update when the device comes back online.
Manual updates
Robin tries to keep manual updates to a minimum. Manual updates include bug fixes or improvements that interact with your device's native settings. They also include major design or layout changes in the interface. You install a manual update through the Google Play or iTunes App store.
The app version shows a blue notification when an update is available to download from the Google Play or iTunes App stores.
Supported app versions
Keep your apps updated so your room displays receive the latest features.
*99% of app updates are pushed over the air and do not need a download from the app store. The app store version is not the best way to tell when Robin last added features to this app.
Supported and Limited support versions
Supported releases receive regular automatic updates with:
- New features
- Bug fixes and improvements
- Critical security patches
Versions with limited support receive critical security patches only. Unsupported versions do not receive automatic updates from Robin.
