Ecodan software update. Real or scam?
Just received an email telling me that my Ecodan ASHP requires a software update. Anybody else had this and confirm it isn't a scam of some sort please?
email is from: meu-uk.lesecodanquality@meuk
Retrofitted 11.2kw Mitsubishi Ecodan to new radiators commissioned November 2021.
14 x 500w Monocrystalline solar panels.
2 ESS Smile G3 10.1 batteries.
ESS Smile G3 5kw inverter.
It may be okay and probably is legit but we have not yet been told the reason for the yet to be fully fixed MelCloud borkage. I, being a cynical and over cautious type would hold off for now or give Mitsibushi Support a call first.
@abernyte Sound advice, cheers. Did you get the same email?

Was there a copy and paste issue with the original post? Was the email address meu-uk.lesecodanquality@meuk.mee.com

No but I am still not back connected. I am in the 40% who didn't reconnect automatically and are still being rejected by the authentication server
@editor it appears so. The address should be. meu-uk.lesecodanquality@meuk.mee.com

@Morgan then that looks legit to me, because the people I know and communicate with at Mitsubishi all use the same email address extension/domain: @meuk.mee.com

@editor thanks for that Mars. I’ve never had email contact with Mitsubishi before. The more I looked at it it did seem legit but one cannot be too careful these days, especially given there is mention in the email of confirming various details and that a Mitsi agent will require access to the outside and inside components.
Edit. I forgot to mention that a software update was applied at service Feb 2024.
Thanks again.

Have you established, or have Mitsubishi confirmed, what the cause of the issue is?

1000% – I regularly check and triple emails that look suspicious – you can never be too careful these days.

@abernyte, hmm, must have been a major disruption if 40% of users still can’t reconnect.
