OpenMoxie Release: Key Updates from Embodied

Embodied, the creators of Moxie, have announced significant updates for the Moxie community as they transition away from cloud-based services. Below is a summary of the key points:

1. OpenMoxie Release
Embodied has launched **OpenMoxie**, a locally hosted solution that allows users to operate Moxie independently of Embodied’s cloud servers. This ensures that Moxie can continue functioning in home environments even after Embodied’s cloud operations cease by **January 30th**.

Action Required: To use OpenMoxie, users must update their Moxie with the latest Over-The-Air (OTA) update and follow the instructions in the OpenMoxie Setup Guide.

2. Critical OTA Update (v.24.10.803)
The latest OTA update, version 24.10.803, is essential to ensure compatibility with OpenMoxie. Users who haven’t already updated their Moxie should do so immediately.

Steps to update:
1. Power on Moxie and connect it to local Wi-Fi.
2. Allow up to one hour for the download and installation process.
3. Reboot Moxie after installation is complete.

3. Embodied’s Ongoing Mission
While Embodied continues to search for a long-term solution for Moxie, they have no new updates regarding its future. However, OpenMoxie provides a way for users to maintain their connection with Moxie in a cloud-free environment.

The company expressed gratitude to its community for their unwavering support and emphasized pride in creating a path forward for Moxie’s continued use.

Legal and Regulatory Disclaimer
Embodied has outlined several disclaimers regarding the use of OpenMoxie:
– **No Guarantees or Warranties:** The functionality, security, or reliability of OpenMoxie is not guaranteed. Users assume full responsibility for its implementation and operation.
– **Community-Driven and Unsupported:** OpenMoxie is provided „as is,“ with no technical support, updates, or maintenance from Embodied.
– **Regulatory Compliance:** Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations when using or modifying OpenMoxie.
– **No Ongoing Obligations:** Embodied has no obligation to continue supporting or maintaining Moxie or its services; all future efforts will be community-led.

Conclusion
The release of OpenMoxie marks an important step in preserving the functionality of Moxie as Embodied winds down its cloud operations. While this transition places responsibility on users and the community, it offers a way to keep Moxie’s unique companionship alive in a self-hosted environment.
