I know a few of us have Fireboards and others may be interested in them. Here is some recent news from the Fireboard folks:



Exciting new updates from FireBoard Labs

We've been hard at work building more features and accessories for your FireBoard.  See below for the latest updates!

  • in-app notifications  we started rolling out this functionality last week to the iOS and Android apps!  these notifications are unlimited and you can choose between three different alert sounds
  • Bluetooth notifications  this works together with the in-app notifications to provide alert functionality even when the FireBoard doesn't have an internet connection
  • single chart view and sparklines  these were added on the Dashboard Detail view on iOS and Android app which makes it very easy to view just one channel at a time
  • channel names viewable on the FireBoard LCD screen  a subtle, but handy feature 

Power up your FireBoard and make sure it has a WiFi connection, and it will automatically download the latest firmware within about 30 minutes.  Since there are several updates, it may restart once and update another package after rebooting.

Many have asked about our progress on a case and our fan control solution.  Here are some details!

FireBoard Case:
  • water resistant and helps protect the FireBoard base unit
  • this will be ready for pre-order in the next 2 weeks
  • the case will include a built in kickstand and magnets 
  • a loop is also built in with an included strap for many easy mounting options
Fan Control:
  • this control cable will work with all existing FireBoards using the auxilliary port already built in
  • drives most 12V fans on the market already
  • runs off the main FireBoard battery or a 12V power supply
  • variable speed
  • of course, control capabilities will be fully integrated to the FireBoard Cloud for remote management 
  • ready for pre-order soon
Thank you for being part of the FireBoard experience and for helping us spread the word!  

More exciting news, features and updates will be coming soon!
