BS HTv1.10.1

Released February 8, 2026Major

iOS

The latest major update resulted in a 0.48 star decline in average rating on iOS. Critical regressions including total pairing failure and radio memory erasure have effectively rendered the hardware unusable for affected users. The update is classified as negative due to these stability failures overshadowing all intended feature additions.

The implementation of configuration checks and control panel updates correlates with critical hardware pairing failures and memory erasure.

Marlvel takeaways

Prioritize a hotfix to resolve pairing failures and radio memory erasure that currently render the hardware non-functional.
Investigate the firmware update path within the control panel, as users report this functionality is broken following the latest update.
Suspend further feature rollouts until stability is restored to the core device communication layer.
