This time TSSA has flagged a serious concern, and they’re urging folks to get it checked out ASAP. While this is currently a mandate for the Canadian market, let's not forget that safety should always come first- whether you’re north of the border or right here in the US.
I’d recommend getting in touch with Smartrise tech support and addressing this issue quickly to keep things safe.
Here's the official notice from TSSA:

Stay safe out there, and let’s keep our industry running strong.
Thank you for your post. I don’t think any safety concern shouldn’t be taken into consideration. I for one will look into it. Hopefully no one gets hurt from someone not willing to verify a safety concern.
I would also like to point out that TSSA isn’t the only one who has reported issues of this nature. Not only has the TSSA , the IUEC and SmartRise has as recently as December 10, 2024.
Work Safe and make good choices!
But what I do not see is how exactly does the legacy controller meet the code? Based on the Bulletin looks like the DZ Sensor was the device used for Unintended Car Movement. Which doesn't meet the code. Please enlighten us, on how exactly compliance is being achieved? Sorry I'm not gonna take your word for it when the safety of me and my crew are at risk!

Add to that the rather bizarre series of comments made from that account that is practically brand new here on the forum's forums, and I'm guessing that someone might be having some sort of "fun" with a fake profile.
Maybe one of the moderators here can confirm?
The bigger issue is that they changed the design of their filed controller without notifying TSSA while still providing an attestation statement that the controller was identical to the filed design
