Should I update my C-5 Hubs with 2.2.3?

This is probably a silly question, but not sure if I need to update my C-5 hubs to 2.2.3? Is that update only for C-7 hubs? I assume bug fixes for C-5 would still be included in new releases but want to make sure before I start this update since it looks like a more complicated update than previous ones.

Thanks for any help!

That complication (update z-wave radio firmware) is only if you have a C-7 hubitat. For all other models, this update is no different than any other platform update.

Personally I'd wait for 2.2.4.
Lots of fixes coming. Granted they are mainly for the C7 but just in case.....................

Good information .... if there is a new version on the way soon I'll probably hold off. Thanks!

i'm leaving my c-5 alone and only upgrading my c-7. figure i'll have my c-7 be the guinea pig and once everything works well, then i'll upgrade my c-5

Some people with C-5 hubs have had problems with locks and 2.2.3.145 and .148, and people with C-3 and C-4 hubs have had lots of problems with the whole 2.2.3 update set. My C-5 is now retired, so I don’t know, 2.2.3.148 works fairly well with my C-7, much better than the early 2.2.3 updates. If what you have is working fine, I would suggest waiting until 2.2.4. It’s supposed to have a lot of fixes.

I have 2.2.3.148 since it was released and I've encountered no issues.

Before you jump to 2.2.4 consider that 2.2.3 has been out and some/most bugs have been dealt with for pre-C7. When 2.2.4 comes out there will have been a lot of changes and with changes comes a bit of a bug risk.
What I don't know is to what extent 2.2.4 changes will actually apply to the C-4 and C-5 as I understand most of the changes are for the 700 series radio.

Same here. Been running 2.2.3.148 for about 1 month without needing a reboot.

C3 and C5 hubs here both running 2.2.3.148 without issues.

I have a C4 and had troubles with 2.2.3.148. I have tried twice and it slows my hub to a crawl. rolled back and hub works perfect again.

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate all the feedback and information. This is a great forum for asking questions and getting quick answers!

Well considering issues STARTED from 2.2.3 and later with C3/C4/C5 hubs I would hope this is a priority issue as well. Features should not be priority over bug fixes.
