Python script to upgrade firmware based on availability

[tjh188]

Has anyone had any luck at writing a script to upgrade Meraki firmware using Python? If so please share the script without any secret info.

Excuse the question, but what's the point of this? Wouldn't it be easier to schedule via the dashboard?

People with a large number of networks or organizations may want to automate the process.

Check out John’s example here: https://github.com/meraki/automation-scripts/blob/master/manage_firmware/firmware_upgrade_manager.py

I have seen that script but all of my networks are in Templates. I would like to upgrade the templates one by one on a specific date and time.

I don't like the batch effort outlined in that GitHub.

A script would be faster to schedule and easier to explain to users not that versed on the dashboard.

This is probably a good use case for using automation workflows. Because, well, it is part of your standard workflow.
