Your questions, answered
Why the BME280 barometer?
It is required for skyBlip conformity. Some T-Echo units are sold without it: pick the version that lists it.
Do I need to open or solder the device?
No. The device comes assembled. The firmware installs over the USB cable.
Do updates cost anything?
No. The firmware and its updates are free, and will stay free.
Can I update from an iPhone?
No: the update page needs Web Bluetooth, which Safari does not have. Use Chrome or Edge, on a computer or on Android. Installing over a USB cable, from a computer, needs no browser.
What if I want to go back?
The skyBlip firmware leaves the T-Echo’s factory bootloader alone. The other software available for the device installs again as before.
