Firmware updates are cumulative, meaning that the latest firmware update includes all the changes and fixes introduced by earlier updates.
We strongly recommend that you always upgrade your HQ to the latest version before upgrading any modules.
Please note that as of 24 Jun 2018 the Consumer Controller (CC) module has been renamed the Device Controller (DC). This is in keeping with its ability to be attached to either a consumer or producer of energy.
For details on how to upgrade modules, see HowTo Upgrade module firmware.
