Features

Device Management enhancements

Device Management sees major additions related to management of jobs. 5 new actions are available

  • Add new targets for an existing job.
  • Get job document for a uploaded job.
  • Get a job execution status for a thing in a job.
  • Cancel a job execution for a thing in a job.
  • Delete a job execution for a thing in a job.

The new functionality is available through the Cloud API. It will be enabled in App Board in coming releases.

Permissions API enhancements

In this release the Permission object is introduced. It holds all permissions for a user. This is the foundation for the more granual permission model which will be introduced in coming releases.

Furthermore, two new endpoints are introduced

  • REMOVE_ROLE removes all privileges of a role and removes all users from that role.
  • LIST_ROLE_USERS lists all users for a specific role.

Widgets improvements: Custom decimal formatting

Custom decimal formatting of the observation value is now enabled in the Value, Gauge and Dynamic widgets. You select the number of desired decimals in the widget edit dialog. Please note that the value is truncated, not rounded.

Rules improcements: TCXN convention resources enabled in rules

We now support TCXN payload convention resources in Rules, both in triggering criteria and formulas. It is now released for use through the Cloud API. App Board will get this support in coming releases. Please note that it is not possible to set the value of a TCXN resource.

HTTPS Proxy enhancement: Extended sessions

It is now possible to extend a http/https proxy session by calling the proxy control server and specifying the extended time.

TCP proxy over MQTT enhancement:

When setting up a TCP Proxy session you can now specify the time to wait for the first connect attempt. This enables adaption to various applications or systems connecting to the Proxy. The parameter is optional and if not specified the default value will be used.

Numerous minor enhancements and bug fixes are delivered by the new release, including:
