My CCA is sitting in a box, I guess I should plug it in and wait for the update?

My CCA started to work again. Certificate is valid up to 2035, so I guess if Google servers are still around in the next 10 years we are safe

I'm still waiting for the update. I wonder how they are doing the staging, maybe by MAC address or serial number.

I believe it wasn't a firmware update that caused this problem but a certificate problem which was fixed yesterday. Mine had the same issue

My CCA didnt work Thursday (visible to connect but wouldnt conect)- worked fine yesterday (friday 14th PM) - no notification about the fix, no visible update so my advice to everyone is plug them in, connect to wifi if you can and just test daily to see if working.

Not sure if you have changed routers/ wifi passwords etc how connectable they are if they have been in a drawer but maybe using the Home app on your phone and finding them will allow you to reconnect.

Any ones in live use should be updated now or soonish
