obi100 1.3.0 (Build: 2824)
Omelas:
I have an OBi100 running 1.3.0 (Build: 2824) - It is configured for google voice, and working fine, but when I try to access is via obitalk to tweak the configuration it tells me I need a firmware update to continue.
As I have read of others problems, I declined to continue.
But, when I try to update firmware by ***6 it reports no updates available. Also the obitalk dashboard doesn't show a pending firmware update.
Also, it appears from the "sticky" post about firmware that I am indeed running the most current version for my device.
Not sure what to do here...
Thanks,
Omelas

I think as part of the new relationship between Obihai and Google you are going to have to agree to the new authorization process and that can't be done without the new firmware.
My personal experience is that the update causes no issues.
Omelas:
But it is unclear to me if an update is actually available. If one is available, why does ***6 not find it? I guess I am nervous that the obitalk page is making a mistake that an update is actually available for my device, and I will be one of the people to have a problem.

I use an OBi110, and I did the firmware update via the Obitalk portal. It worked OK for me. And my current firmware version as shown on the System Status page of my Obi110 web interface is: 1.3.0 Build 2872.
So it seems for this particular update, you have to go through the procedure via the ObiTalk portal, maybe because we're agreeing to something?
This is a little off-topic: but this makes me wonder if Google has already/or will be figuring out a way to mine info about us from our calls!

Obihai and all the other third-party products or apps that were previously signing directly into Google Voice users' Google accounts were told by Google to stop doing that, almost a year ago, since it was a security exposure. Obihai updated their device firmware to now use Google's more secure authentication system, called OAUTH 2.0, instead of needing to know your password.
The new firmware contains the additional code to perform that authentication. If you don't use Google Voice, then don't worry about it. If you do want to use Google Voice, then delete your OBi off of the portal, reset it, add it back, and add Google Voice as a service provider. This will kick off the firmware update. You will know that you have it, when the OBi auto-attendant prompts change from a male voice to a female voice.

Uh oh, more tinfoil hats...this is making your OBi device more secure, not less. Google couldn't care less about the content of your telephone calls. They have plenty of other data on you, from cookies and beacons on their websites. If you voluntarily opt-in, Google will use machine learning to analyze your voicemail messages to transcribe them to text, and to improve their voice-to-text algorithms, but they are not doing this without your permsission, and they are not doing it on your phone calls. Only the No Such Agency has that sort of computing power and storage capacity. ::)
