🚨 New Firmware Release for BRDSC01 – Now Smarter, Faster, and OTA-Ready!

We’re excited to announce a major firmware update for the BRDSC01, our intelligent interface for DSC alarm panels. This release marks a significant evolution in flexibility, remote management, and reliability.

🔔 Important Compatibility Note: This firmware is compatible with DSC PowerSeries alarm panels only. Classic series panels are not supported in this version.

✨ What’s New in This Version?

🔧 Smarter Configuration

Forget manual registration or preloaded settings. The device now:

  • Auto-generates a unique Device ID
  • Uses it to populate MQTT defaults
  • Requires no pre-configured MQTT broker – offering full customization to match your infrastructure.

💡 Improved Home Assistant Integration

We’ve revamped our Home Assistant MQTT Discovery mechanism:

  • Config messages are spaced out with a customizable delay.
  • Better reliability and fewer issues on large deployments.

🧠 Remote Management, Reinvented

Our new Remote Management (RM) system lets you configure, control, and monitor your device from anywhere via MQTT. You can:

  • Reboot the device
  • Update config settings
  • Push firmware updates over-the-air
  • View and adjust telemetry frequency
  • Control partitions and more — all remotely

🚀 OTA Firmware Update Support

One of the most requested features is here:

  • Secure OTA updates via MQTT or Config page
  • Uses a lightweight loader to handle large firmware upgrades (yes, we solved the 50% flash size barrier!)
  • Verifies firmware URL and supports remote update logic

🧰 Other Improvements

  • Support for single key presses (in addition to arm/disarm commands)
  • No initial Wi-Fi AP password
  • Refactored and optimized internal logic for better performance
  • Improved buffer management and partition messaging
