mixing older and newer bees

Hi,

I'm using an older version of SenseStage - the MiniBees have green board and I just bought two new ones with blue board. I'm just wondering, are these new ones compatible with the old controller node that came with old ones - that was in 2013 or 2012 I think.

It seems like the controller does not budge when I turn on the new bees. Is it the firmware?

Yes, since then a lot changed!
The old MiniBees should be updated with new firmware, and the XBees need some configuration changes.

This page: https://docs.sensestage.eu/sensestage-v1/upgrading-to-use-api-mode should help the process.
