Release history

Version 1.0.18Latest

• New Display Sensors system object: use the temperature and humidity sensors of a Veltnova wall display as System Values, on pages and sent to the gateway/KNX.
• Widgets can only be added to a page: a panel with no page, or no page selected, now says so instead of placing the widget on the panel.
• Action Button: the Open Panel/Page command window now keeps the panel and page it shows, so a new button no longer ends up with no target.
• Energy Flow Line: new Rectangle shape, a closed box for a house or load.
• Solar, prayer and Christian events: several actions per event, names, group address picker and a new Actions editor. Curtain time schedules and Hide when 0 for Analog Value.

Version 1.0.17

• New Grid Meter manager (Server > Internal services): pick a KNX or Modbus electricity meter, map voltage, current, frequency, active power and the consumed/generated energy counters (today, yesterday, this month, last month, total) and place a Grid Meter panel on the canvas. The Energy Meter is no longer offered when adding an object.
• Ceiling Fan: choose the controller, a 4-speed fan regulator or a TRIAC dimmer, and only the matching address fields are shown. New fans default to the 4-speed regulator.
• Captions under Switch, Dimmer and other icon objects now follow the chosen Font Family instead of always being bold; State Action text is no longer forced bold.
• New main clip art: weather, snowflake, pump, solar panel, UPS, generator and grid tower icons, plus fan icons. Clip art can be imported several files at a time.

Version 1.0.16

• New Browse button at the end of every KNX group address field: it opens a tree of the main groups, middle groups and addresses of your ETS project, with search, so you no longer scroll a long list. Import the ETS CSV again to get the group names.
• The Project Manager now shows the file size of each project.

Version 1.0.15

• Importing a group address list exported from ETS now works with the tab separated CSV that ETS writes (it found no addresses before), and datapoint types such as DPST-1-1 are read correctly.
• Energy Flow Line: new L shapes (one corner) and U shapes (two corners), each in four directions, to draw an energy diagram with right angles.

Version 1.0.14

• The Windows program and its setup are now digitally signed by ARM-SBC L.L.C-FZ, so Windows shows the publisher name instead of Unknown publisher. No other changes.

Version 1.0.13

• Diagnostics: the KNX Telegram Monitor works. Start Monitor listens on the KNX routing address and lists the telegrams with time, event, sender, group address, datapoint type and value; Stop and Clear work.

Version 1.0.12

• Custom project theme: the Theme list has Dark, White and Custom. Custom lets you choose the canvas colour, the task bar colour and the default font colour. The theme applies to every panel, and a new panel gets the same one.
• Fixed: renaming a panel no longer resets its theme.

Version 1.0.11

• Action Button commands: Play Alert Sound and Stop Alert Sound (every client or one user's clients), with a list of sounds; Mute SIP Ring; Read KNX Group Value.

Version 1.0.10

• Action Button screen commands: open or close a popup, hide or show an object or a page, and set a header alert colour, for every client, one user or one client. Open a page on one client and go back to the previous page.
• The command picker lists the project's popups, pages, objects and users, so nothing has to be typed.

Version 1.0.9

• New: a setup program that installs the Configurator with a desktop icon and a Start menu entry.
• CAN interface editors (signals and commands) and a CAN tab in Diagnostics. The help for Listen Only says the board's CAN driver has no such mode: keep it Disabled.
• Renaming an app user no longer breaks the per-user access rules of objects.
• The MQTT Broker always uses port 1883. MQTT Client and MQTT Broker editors with topic bindings.
• A Settings dialog with Autosave and the version, and clearer text in drop-down lists and labels.

Version 1.0.8

• New: a setup program that installs the Configurator with a desktop icon and a Start menu entry.
• Renaming an app user no longer breaks the per-user access rules of objects.
• The MQTT Broker always uses port 1883. The port field is gone.
• MQTT Client and MQTT Broker editors, with topic bindings for values and KNX group addresses.
• A Settings dialog with Autosave and the version, and clearer text in drop-down lists and labels.

Version 1.0.12Latest

• Swipe left or right on a panel to move to the next or previous page, and the page tab bar scrolls when there are many pages.
• Analog Value shows -- until a real value arrives, and Hide when 0 hides an empty value. Display-only status switches no longer show a warning when touched.
• Open Panel/Page buttons with no page chosen now open the panel instead of doing nothing.
• Wall displays: temperature and humidity of the display can be shown and sent to the gateway, and the bezel LED can be set from Settings (Veltnova displays only).
• Energy Flow Line: new Rectangle shape. Several actions per solar, prayer and Christian event.

Version 1.0.11

• Prayer Times panel: Arabic names and times now line up in clean columns, and the times follow the project's GPS position, so a house in India shows Indian time even if the time zone field says Dubai.
• Panel list: the panel icons are larger and easier to recognise.
• HVAC tiles on the dashboard are now a compact temperature tile; tap one to open the full controls.

Version 1.0.10

• New Grid Meter panel: live import and export power gauges, active power, voltage, current, frequency and power factor, and the consumed and generated energy (today, yesterday, this month, last month, total) from your KNX or Modbus electricity meter.
• Ceiling fans with a 4-speed regulator or a TRIAC dimmer show Off and levels 1 to 4 in the popup; a fan can show a different image at low speed, and a roller shutter a different image while partly open.
• Captions under icon objects and pictures are shown in full on one line and no longer shrink the icon; Energy Flow Line can light the whole line while a value is above its threshold.

Version 1.0.9

• Energy Flow Line: new L shapes (one corner) and U shapes (two corners), each in four directions.

Version 1.0.8

• The Windows program and its setup are now digitally signed by ARM-SBC L.L.C-FZ, so Windows shows the publisher name instead of Unknown publisher.

Version 1.0.7

• A device that waits for approval on the gateway now signs in by itself once it is approved, without typing the user name and password again.
• Demo sign-in: the user name demo with the password VeltnovaDemo opens the built-in demo, for store reviewers.

Version 1.0.6

• The app now shows the panel theme set in the Configurator: canvas colour, task bar colour and the default text colour. The White theme works too.

Version 1.0.5

• Action Button commands: alert sounds that play until stopped, and Mute SIP Ring (the ring sound stops until the app is restarted).

Version 1.0.4

• Action Button screen commands: popups, hidden objects and pages, header alert colour, open a page on one client, go back to the previous page.
• Fixed: CAN, Modbus, Network and screen-command Action Buttons did nothing when tapped.

Version 1.0.3

• New: a setup program that installs the Veltnova client with a desktop icon and a Start menu entry.
• Small internal changes and fixes. The features are the same as in version 1.0.2.

Version 1.0.12Latest

• Swipe left or right to move between the pages of a panel, and the page tabs scroll when there are many pages.
• Analog values show -- until a real value arrives, and can be hidden when 0.
• Open Panel/Page buttons with no page chosen now open the panel.
• Touching a display-only status switch no longer shows a warning.
• Wall displays: show and send the display's temperature and humidity, and set the bezel LED from Settings (Veltnova displays only).
• New Rectangle shape for Energy Flow Lines.

Version 1.0.7

• Panels can use a custom colour theme set in the Configurator: canvas, task bar and text colours.
• New Action Button commands: open or close popups, show or hide objects and pages, set a header alert colour, play alert sounds, and mute the intercom ring.

No release notes were written for this version.

Version 1.0.7Latest

• Panels can use a custom colour theme set in the Configurator: canvas, task bar and text colours.
• New Action Button commands: open or close popups, show or hide objects and pages, set a header alert colour, play alert sounds, and mute the intercom ring.
• Action Buttons for CAN, Modbus and network commands now respond to taps.
• A device that is waiting for approval on the gateway now signs in by itself once it is approved.
• A demo sign-in (user name demo) opens the built-in demo.

Version 1.0.16Latest

• Roller Shutter and curtain objects can have a time schedule: a clock time or dawn, sunrise, sunset or dusk, with an offset, set from the apps.
• Solar, prayer and Christian events can run several actions each, with names and delays.
• Displays with a temperature and humidity sensor can send their readings to the gateway, which can write them to KNX group addresses.
• Logic Studio blocks with several inputs now read each input from its own port.

Version 1.0.15

• Sun and prayer times now use the time zone of the project's GPS position (India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, UAE/Oman and Saudi Arabia/Gulf), so a house in India shows Indian time even if the project's time zone field says Dubai. Outside those regions the typed time zone is still used.

Version 1.0.14

• New Grid Meter: a KNX or Modbus electricity meter now publishes voltage, current, frequency, active power, import and export power and the consumed and generated energy counters (today, yesterday, this month, last month, total) to the Grid Meter panel. Needs the Configurator 1.0.17 Grid Meter manager and the client 1.0.10 panel.
• Ceiling fan voice control now uses the addresses of the chosen controller: the 4-speed regulator's speed and status objects, or the TRIAC dimmer's value and feedback groups.
• Camera poster: the gateway keeps the latest picture of each camera so the app can show it while the live video starts.

Version 1.0.13

• Modbus polling now repeats a timed-out read up to the device's Retries setting, so a meter that sometimes ignores a request no longer produces errors or old values. A device that has not answered for a minute gets one try, so it cannot slow down the bus.
• The Zigbee port defaults to /dev/ttyMG24 on boards that name it, so the same software runs on the new board.

Version 1.0.12

• Action Button commands: alert sounds (play and stop), Mute SIP Ring, and Read KNX Group Value.

Version 1.0.11

• Action Button screen commands: open or close a popup, hide or show an object or a page, and set a header alert colour, for every client, one user or one client; open a page on one client and go back.

Version 1.0.10

• The console lists only the RS485, RS232 and CAN interfaces.

Version 1.0.9

• CAN: frames sent close together are no longer held back.
• CAN: a clear message when the board's CAN driver has no Listen Only mode.
• Software update: the install asks for fresh update information, and the console says 'Updated to version x' as soon as the new version runs.

Version 1.0.8

• Test release for the software update flow.
• The update message in the console fits on one line and is centred.

Version 1.0.7

• Software updates: the gateway finds new versions itself and asks before installing.
• CAN interface (off until enabled).
• The MQTT broker always uses port 1883.
• Log search in the console no longer fails on a big journal.
