RE: Current firmware for the Philips dreamstation
Hi all,
I took two pics of the new firmware menu & pin setup menu from the 1.1.4 update. Here:
Images of the firmware menu & new PIN setup menu to lock the provider menu
Used the machine last night with the new firmware; same as before but did notice I didn't have to breath as heavy to get it to auto-start.
P.S. Thank you to those that get and share the firmware. It's greatly appreciated as the dealer I use in Sydney has always said "there is no new firmware"... I just wish the dealers/DMEs would be legit! I also passed 1000 hours on my machine last night
Cheers,
SleepyOzzy

FYI for anyone updating to 1.1.4 you'll also need to update Encore Pro 2 to at least 2.21.4.1 to read the SD-Card post upgrade.

Do you know if it also affects the ability to read data with the current version of Sleepyhead?
RE: Current firmware for the Philips dreamstation
I'm not sure as I haven't tried sleepyhead. But I can test it tonight when I get home
RE: Current firmware for the Philips dreamstation
SleepOzzie, since this will affect many members, and it is information I need to pass along to Sleepyhead author Mark Watkins, your help in looking into this would be appreciated.

I'm also wondering if the data reported is accurate. You commented on my post "Sudden Change to AHI After Dreamstation Firmware Upgrade". I did increase my minimum pressure to 8.5 and my AHI averaged .77 and RDI averaged 1.40 over 11 days, very close to my 229-day average at 8.0 pressure under v1.05. I further tried 9.0 minimum pressure for the last three nights with an slight increase in AHI and RDI, but with worse perceived sleep quality. So back to 11.5 tonight! I'll also post these results to that thread. Would it be helpful to download Encore and compare readings?
