How to update Sentinels after this update?
Fill out this form: https://forms.gle/iqySzRUrcH6jMwch7
Wait for a response from sentinel-support that mentions that the updates are ready to go.
Bring the Sentinels into sentinel-net range.
Turn on the Sentinels
Wait for the blue and green lights to flash.
If they do not flash before all lights turn off, turn the Sentinel off and then on again
If the blue light is solid, the update has passed. Wait for all lights to turn off and then turn the Sentinel off. The device has now been updated.
If the green light is solid, the update has failed. Try updating the Sentinel one more time. If it still fails, set the Sentinel to the side and contact sentinel-support.
