Software and firmware updates for WATTrouter ECO

USB interface driver

Note: Please in case of communication problems always upgrade this driver to the newest version!

Regulator firmware and software WATTconfig ECO

The WATTconfig software runs on Windows 7 and later, Ubuntu 16.04 and later, OS X 10.11 El Capitan and later. However, it may work in other OS versions or other Linux distributions.

Since version 2.0 we provide only 64-bit versions of WATTconfig software, up to version 1.4 they are 32-bit. The main reason for this change was MacOS Catalina, which dropped 32-bit support entirely. That's why we decided to move to 64-bit everywhere.

Please always update BOTH software and firmware for your device!

Newest version (April 2024):
Added: Visual indicators of time schedule activity (Time Schedules tab).
Added: Configurable time offsets for the sunrise and sunset time modes (Time Schedules tab).
