Several major changes and new features released today!

/in , /by

We have deployed several major changes / features today:

  • As we have already informed you in previous post, there are some minor changes in forwarding. Please, read the article if you are using this feature.
  • We offer more robust processing of incoming messages now for large customers. The mechanism is storing the messages in the AWS queue running in high available mode. If we need to do some major maintenance that requires stopping our application servers or DB servers, the messages will be stored in the queue until the maintenance is finished. The messages will then be automatically processed. Utilisation of this mechanism require different callbacks. Please, contact us if you are interested in this feature.
  • Data you see on the dashboard is not tightly linked to data received in the last message. The concept of tracked keys was completely refactored:
    • You do not have to choose tracked keys in device settings from now. We store the latest value of all data with the appropriate timestamp on device level automatically on all devices. For example, if your device had sent a firmware version in the first activation message one year ago, it will be automatically stored here.
    • You can see the latest value of all device data in Data details > under Last status tab. This page is empty until the device sends the first message since the time of deployment of new release. You will find the timestamp of every latest data value here as well, so you know when the specific data was updated.
    • And even more, you can filter devices by such value on the main dashboard using the new Filter by option in search bar. For example, you can filter devices that have the latest CO2 level above 2000ppm. At this moment you can search only by Metric system units.
  • You can choose what data you want to see on the dashboard in device Settings > Custom view > Dashboard data. We have preset the list of dashboard data based on formal tracked keys preference for you convenience.

This release required many deep changes in our system and even we tried to test it as much as possible, you may spot some issues. Please, do not hesitate to contact us in such case. We will do the best to fix them as soon as possible.
