Firmware for the MP21Z and MP31Z smart plugs (800 Series, 908.42 MHz). This page lists the current release and how to flash it over the air (OTA) from your hub.

## 1. Current release

| Item | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Version | V8.01 (build `V08R10P00H08`) |
| Build date | 2023-10-09 |
| Applies to | MP21Z (ZW36S), MP31Z (ZW36M) — 800 Series |
| Does NOT apply to | MP21Z / MP31Z 700 Series units |

One file serves both models.

## 2. Should you update?

Check your current firmware version first (Hubitat: device page; Home Assistant: Z-Wave JS device page). If your devices are working fine you don’t have to rush, but we recommend staying current: newer builds fix reported issues and improve network stability.

## 3. How to update (OTA)

**Hubitat Elevation**

1. Open the device page and click **Firmware** (Device Firmware Updater).
2. Select the downloaded `.gbl` file and start the update.
3. Do not unplug the device during the transfer (typically 2 to 5 minutes).

**Home Assistant (Z-Wave JS / Z-Wave JS UI)**

1. Open the device page and expand **Firmware update (OTA)**.
2. Upload the `.gbl` file and confirm.
3. Leave the device powered for the whole transfer.

**Other controllers**

Any Z-Wave controller with OTA support (Z-Wave JS UI standalone, Zooz Z-Station / Silicon Labs PC Controller) can flash the same `.gbl` file.

**SmartThings** does not support third-party Z-Wave OTA updates. If your device shows issues this build addresses, contact [ask@minoston.com](mailto:ask@minoston.com).

## 4. If something goes wrong

- **Update stalls** : leave the device powered; large transfers can take a few minutes.
- **Version unchanged after update** : run the update once more.
- **Device unresponsive** : unplug for 10 seconds, plug back in, and re-run the update. If it still won’t respond, exclude and re-include it.
- **Still stuck** : email [ask@minoston.com](mailto:ask@minoston.com) with your hub type and the firmware version shown before the update.
