Queue firmware upgrades across dozens of Brainboxes ED, ES, or BB devices in one workflow using the BB-Eco bulk upgrade dialog — with per-device preflight checks.

How BB-Eco brings infrastructure-as-code principles to Brainboxes device configuration — declarative JSON templates, Git-tracked, scriptable, with drift detection.

Use BB-Eco to compare live ED and ES devices against a known-good configuration template, flag any drift, and decide whether to revert or update the template.

Plug in a Brainboxes ED, ES, BB, or managed SW device and use BB-Eco to find it on your network within seconds — using SSDP, mDNS, or manual IP entry.

How BB-Eco's local device cache and the ghost-promoter mechanism let you administer remote Brainboxes devices over a VPN — without re-scanning every session.
