Popur S7 changelog

If your device is running a much older firmware version, we also recommend a Wi-Fi reconnection. Some newer features or datapoints rely on updated provisioning logic that is only applied during a fresh connection handshake, so re-pairing helps ensure all functions are properly initialized. You can reset the wireless connection by holding the Bin button for 7 seconds until you hear three consecutive beeps, or by navigating to Product List under the Me menu and removing the device from your account.

  • Factory/hard reset (holding Clean key for 7 seconds) returns all device settings to default. However, it doesn't change Wi-Fi connection.
  • Wireless reset (holding Bin key for 7 seconds) only disconnects the device from your Wi-Fi. For clarification, it still retains all your data and settings.
Firmware 4.0.0 and App 2.0.0

To be released on June 15, 2026

***Note: Hard reset is conducted automatically during the update because it is required to activate all datapoints. Please re-configure your customizations.***

***Note: Wireless reset is required to enable all new features.***

Added

  • We introduced the Pet Data feature.
  • Revamped the datapoints with streamlined protocols to ensure 100% success rate when synchronizing with the server.

  • Renamed Cycles since bin full as Cycles since zeroing for more accurate description.
  • Added the Zeroing command that helps monitor the bin level more accurately by confirming the zero mark.

  • Fixed a parameter error where Sentinel mode frequently paused cleaning cycles.
  • Fixed a coding oversight where inaccurate rotation angles blocked the sifter movements.
Firmware 3.3.0

Released on March 30, 2026

Added

  • We enabled weight change as an additional checkpoint for relevant modes including Sentinel and Caring, where pet presence will halt the cleaning cycle more accurately.
  • Added weight change as an extra requirement to start cleaning for Linger, Auto-bury and Dog-proof modes such that they don't activate under Immediately settings when pets stay still in the box.
  • Added the collection of weight metrics for internal beta tests where the forthcoming Pet Data block will be built upon.
  • Added the capability to conduct a weight sensor recalibration.

Fixed

  • We fixed a bug with automated error reports where event IDs were misconfigured.
  • Resolved an error where auto-clean cycles may be occasionally aborted by the Auto-bury or Dog-proof modes.
  • Fixed a cache issue that might accidentally switch on/off the Status light or Buzzer without notice.
  • Fixed an unnecessary error indication where one of the duplicate sensors fails to work but has no effect on the actual functionality thanks to designed-in redundancy.
  • Fixed a bug with remote control commands.
  • Implemented additional strategies to preempt cleaning interruptions.
Firmware 3.2.0

Released on March 16, 2026

Added

  • We streamlined the automatic Self-check process after machine reboot for better efficiency and consistency.

Fixed
