Misaligned Firmware Error in Fix It Hub Console (v1.4.0)

Firmware version 1.4.0 is consistently triggering a "misaligned firmware" error in the Fix It Hub Console.

I’ve confirmed that both the Smart Station and the Iron are running firmware version 1.4.0. However, when I downgrade both devices to version 1.3.2, the error disappears.

I believe this may be a false error. When I check the firmware directly from the Smart Station’s menu, it correctly reports that both the Smart Station and the Iron are on version 1.4.0.

However, when I click on the error message in the Fix It Hub Console, it shows the Iron firmware as blank, while the Hub firmware still shows 1.4.0.

I’ve also tested this on a second computer to rule out a browser issue, and the behavior is the same.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

I'm also facing this issue with my FixHub station and soldering iron in the web console. I infer this is a false positive as well, since I observed the same result in the FixHub web console (though I didn't test if downgrading to firmware version 1.3.2 makes this bug go away).

Here's a screenshot from the web console: https://ibb.co/rPB6GQQ

Anyways, this is a friendly reminder that the FixHub soldering iron has its own firmware that may be updated through the FixHub web console: https://www.ifixit.com/fixhub/console

100% the same here...

Soldering works just fine, but the false positive due to missing firmware number of the soldering iron can be irritating.
