Notes

1. To all users when upgrading Nebula devices, please make sure your device is connected to the control center and internet.
2. During the upgrade process (notice the LED will flash in red rapidly), make sure the power is not inturruped or disabled, in the unlikely event of this happening, you may have to perform the upgrade again.

I'm pretty happy about the Smart Mesh changes. It was a little too sensitive in my network.
Keep going, folks!
