   • Browse to the downloaded ota.bin file
   • File name and size will be displayed

3. Upload:

   • Click “Upload Firmware” button
   • Progress bar shows upload status
   • Do not close browser or power off device during upload

4. Device Restart:

   • Upon successful upload, device will restart automatically
   • Wait 1-2 minutes for device to reboot
   • Reconnect to the device after restart
   • Verify new version number in settings

Security Considerations

Local Network Only: OpenShrooly operates entirely on your local network with no cloud connectivity.

Access Control: Anyone on your local network can access the web interface. Consider:

• Network isolation if needed
• Router-level access controls
• Keeping firmware updated

Firmware Source: Only install official firmware from:

• OpenShrooly GitHub releases
• Trusted community builds with source code

See the Setup Guide for initial WiFi configuration instructions.
