Any feedback related to Almond+ Firmware R090

Please post any feedback related to Almond+ firmware R090 here.

Upgrade worked fine for me.

Super small request; when editing a Network Device, the "Device Type" drop-down isn't in any kind of order I can recognize.  Would it be possible to have that sorted into alphabetical order?  (It also never seems to finish "Identifying..." but I don't know if I'm just being impatient.)

Smooth upgrade.  Was the 2.4Ghz connection dropping / freeze resolved in this update?

@Ashok - You might want to get this page updated as well. My almond told me there was a new firmware update on WebUI and when I clicked on that, it took me to this page - https://www.securifi.com/software-update that still have R089 in there

I am sorry about that, and it will be taken care by tomorrow. Thank you!

Any chance that this got fixed in R090?

Access Point doesn't work with Enable Wireless Client Isolation (https://forum.securifi.com/index.php/topic,5222.0.html)

Seems to be a bug in the Z-wave config ui (LCD). When filling out the z-wave device config form, the final "value" field can't be filled, it just fill the "parameter" field instead.

Yes and it will be resolved with our next release.

The Weather display seems to never auto-update; I have to manually refresh.  I've rebooted twice to retest it, no help.  While I'm here...
It would be really nice for the Time and Weather to be integrated, like in an Extras section, where one can select which (or both) to display, and which is on top, for example, and the text size for each.  Never made sense to me that you couldn't have -both- the time and weather displayed.

Just like every other firmware, things break.  5ghz network has no connectivity, DNS resolution fails on it.  Rolled back to 89.  This router is pretty much dated garbage at this point, it looks nice but doesn't work as a router at all.  The last one I had burned up due to overheating on the wireless.

I have the same issue as a couple of other people.  After the upgrade on Tuesday night I thought that the 5ghz network was available but I noticed today that it was missing?  I tried to reboot the Almond+ but that didn't work.

I also have a similar issue with the weather it updates but seems like the refresh of the application is not updating like it used to.  It refreshes but have no idea what the refresh cycle is on the application at this point?

...so maybe this firmware should be pulled?

What concerns me is even after rolling back I still have packet loss on my 5ghz network.  I actually have a 350Mbps downstream from my provider, so using 5ghz would be nice.......  But alas, it doesn't work as well, sometimes drops and on the r90 didnt work at all.  Below is a ping test, latency jumps then packet loss.  I am sure it is not my adapter or drivers as it occurs on multiple platforms with varying manufacturers.  I should also note, I have about 20+ wireless clients constantly in my household.

Updated to R090. Totally painless. Everything is working great. Running AP and a dozen HA devices.
