I noticed that the procedure for enabling AirControl management (Provisioning ), force the
automatic upgrade to latest revision uploaded on AirControl Server for the device.
Can you add an option to select the desired firmware to automatic upload?

Nice to have, though not high in the list of priorities currently.
The legacy firmware auto-upgrade is a convenience for you to make it easy to get your existing units initially updated as a one-time exercise to make them compatible with AirControl if (and only if) they are < 3.4. If they are already on 3.4+, no upgrade should be offered as part of connect.
Typically we expect the latest version you uploaded into AirControl is what you want to use.
If not, you have the choice to update units to 3.4+ manually before connecting in AirControl.
Or, if you like the ability to update a large batch automatically as a one time event, just make sure the version you want is the highest version by deleting the rest from the firmware page and put it back after the auto-upgrade is done.

Some new versione can have a more bug that more benefit for one installation. :(
I need to choice the version to updrade also in automatic and for each device type. ;)
If not, you have the choice to update units to 3.4+ manually before connecting in AirControl.Manually? Yes for single unit, not for larghe update (massive update).
Or, if you like the ability to update a large batch automatically as a one time event, just make sure the version you want is the highest version by deleting the rest from the firmware page and put it back after the auto-upgrade is done.Yes, I know, but not elegant solution. Temporary workaround ;)
Great product AirControl.
Tnx!

Before this is added, it would be nice to have the option for us to test a new firmware then 'approve for deployment' once we are happy. Then radios can download it at their 'next scheduled update check' or it could be pushed out one-by-one between certain times of the day - or morning so the networks are not clogged with everything trying to download a new firmware all at once.
