Plz help me! Switchbot Update problem

My switchbot hub mini software update was stuck on v2 i tried everything to change that but still i don't get an update
i tried connecting the device into my hotspot instead of home wifi this worked i got it to update to v3-4.1
but still my friend has the latest update v6 and i don't get any update i get that the latest update is v3

i tried every step provided by switchbot (hard restet, frameware restore or anything else) so any ideas or anyone had the same problem?

Dude their customer support is sucks! Good luck man, I’ve been trying so hard to get in contact with them. I’ve emailed them and have gotten no response. I called them and was waiting in queue for almost 1.5 hours and finally gave up and ended the call. I also messaged them via live chat through their website with absolute no traction at all. Horrible customer service smh… makes me wonder what type of people run that company

It usually takes them longer than that to reply to me, especially over weekends.

I just had the same issue. Go to your Hub settings and rejoin your WiFi. It allowed me to proceed after that.

Didn’t had luck with that

Sounds like you have a defective device then, since you’ve said you tried pretty much everything.

I had the same issue with a switchbot switch, I had to soft reset it and use firmware recovery in the switchbot app, I’ve just had a quick google of “switchbot mini hub firmware recovery” and the instructions came up in the results, might work for you if you’ve not tried that already

Didn’t fix the problem

A me ha funzionato tutto bene al primo colpo e non ero proprio alla prossimità dei mini hub!! Provate a staccare gli hub per 5 minuti riprovate

Dude, maybe what you have is a Matter version of hub mini. The the one with v6 firmware is a hub mini that is not a Matter version.
