We recommend performing a factory reset after installing the beta version. The same applies after installing the next release version following the beta.

For the adventurous!
The BETA version of the hörbert firmware is not as stable as a full release, but it offers the latest features.
NEW: With this version, hörbert can play podcasts and keeps them always up to date – thousands of hours of content effortlessly and automatically!

Firmware Beta Versions

hörbert’s firmware is constantly evolving. As soon as an official new firmware is released, the next small change is already included in a new Beta Version. Beta Version means something like “may not work completely, but has new features”. In beta versions, we can “just quickly” try out new features, or features that have not been tested for long enough yet.

Those who install a beta version should only do so at the behest of our customer service, if it contains a special solution for a special problem. Those who are curious – or fearless – can also voluntarily use our beta version. Then we would appreciate feedback on whether everything is okay, or if someone may have even found a possible error.

In this beta version 2023-02-27 09:41 2cec1fd7:

No more stuttering in recordings via microphone or from Bluetooth streaming

The advantages of butterfly firmware

All settings for hörbert can be adjusted without the need for a PC, SD card reader, or hörbert software.
To achieve this, hörbert now offers a web interface called the “Browser Set Mode,” accessible via a web browser on a smartphone, tablet, or computer. All you need is a Wi-Fi-enabled device to connect to hörbert’s own Wi-Fi network and then access the Browser Set Mode through an internet browser.
Further down on this page, you will find a short guide on how to start the Browser Set Mode.
MP3 files or internet radio stations can be saved to the card using the Browser Set Mode.
Thanks to Butterfly, files can also be copied directly onto the memory card using a computer with an SD card reader. There is no longer any need for hörbert software.

How to start the Browser Set Mode

Here’s how to connect to hörbert’s Wi-Fi and start the Browser Set Mode:

1. Turn on hörbert.
2. Press the SET button inside hörbert. A rising tone sequence will sound, and the green LED will light up continuously.

3. On your computer, tablet, or smartphone, search for the Wi-Fi network named **”hoerbert-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx”** and connect to it.
– The “xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx” represents a unique combination of letters and numbers specific to each hörbert.

4. The Wi-Fi password is: hoerbert
5. Open a web browser, such as Chrome, Safari, or Firefox, and navigate to http://hoerbert.local
– This will open hörbert’s Browser Set Mode.
