Luma x20 OvrC Guide
OvrC gives you significant options without having to log in to each device’s interface. This document assumes you have a solid understanding of how to use OvrC.
OvrC and Luma Dual Firmware Mode
Luma x20 devices run in a dual-firmware mode to protect the hardware (and your installs) from unforeseen glitches.
Once the firmware has been applied to the first (operational) partition, the device goes into an observation mode to ensure the new firmware operates properly. Observation mode lasts for about ten minutes once the firmware update is completed.
Once proper function has been verified, the device applies the firmware to the second (backup) partition and logs the new firmware version with OvrC. If the new firmware fails, the device restores the backup firmware to the first (operational) partition.
As of this writing, OvrC does not track whether a Luma x20 device is in observation mode. This means that, for about ten minutes in OvrC, it looks like the firmware update didn’t take, and that an update is available. If you try to update the firmware again while your Luma is in observation mode, the update will fail in OvrC but this will not impact the performance of the device.
While in observation mode, you can log in to the device’s web UI to see the proper firmware version.
