Multi Sensor

[Mark Johannessen]

I had a support ticket in to Aeotec about the Multisensor 6 firmware
upgrade path on Mac OS X and here is the response:

"There is no firmware updater for the Mac unfortunately, but Vera will be
implementing the firmware update for the Multisensor 6 directly on their
gateway.

Both us and Vera have successfully tested their firmware update function so
you should be seeing this in UI7 in the next Vera update.

Otherwise, if you have a Z-Stick or any other Z-Wave USB adapter that uses
virtual COM ports, you should be able to run the firmware update we provide
on any windows system."
