v1.10.0-TRACK-X-6.0.0

Release date: 22.07.2024

Added / Changed

  • Added a new functionality to track the start and stop position of a continuous movement only

  • Added reporting of errors that were encountered during over the air update operations

  • Added support for up to eight GPIOs**

  • Added basic support for communication with Modbus devices**

  • Added a configuration option that enables users to attach a customer-specific identifier to a device

  • Unified the sensor naming convention that is used when the device communicates with Cumulocity IoT

Fixes and optimizations

  • Decreased the number of mobile network attaches that are required for communication

  • Fixed an issue with the daylight saving time mechanism that resulted in additional messages

  • Fixed an erroneous behaviour that occurred when the sum of parameters pstart and pdur exceeded 24 hours

** This feature is only available with the Exelonix I/O Box

v1.10.0-TRACK-X-5.0.0

Release date: 06.03.2024

Added / Changed

  • Users can now mark certain message events as alerts via configuration options to distinguish them from regular messages. The device puts in extra effort to ensure that alert messages are successfully delivered, especially in challenging connectivity conditions. This involves strategies like conducting multiple retries or switching to different radio access technologies to improve the chances of message delivery.

  • The device now supports additional Cumulocity IoT device management functionality to update these device assets:

    • Firmware

    • Configuration files

    • Wireless BLE stack

    • Modem firmware

    • Application parameters

  • Added configuration options to enable improved GNSS accuracy

  • Added configuration options to customize intervals for device management communication

  • Support OTA update artefacts from multiple tenant repositories of the Exelonix backend platform

  • Improved device boot-up time

Fixed

  • Purge malformed telemetry data from the device storage if the backend service rejected it

  • Fixed handling of float values that led to failed parameter updates

  • Prevent low pxtime setting from blocking requests that are necessary for device management

  • Fixed erroneous LED feedback in some cases during device initialization

  • Fixed battery thresholds to provide a more accurate battery status LED feedback

v1.9.0-TRACK-X-4.0.1

Release date: 16.08.2023

Added/ Changed

  • Add two TLS root certificates (1, 2) of the Go Daddy certificate authority, which are required for encrypted communication with these public Cumulocity IoT instances:

    • cumulocity.com

    • us.cumulocity.com

    • apj.cumulocity.com

    • eu-latest.cumulocity.com

    • emea.cumulocity.com

v1.9.0-TRACK-X-4.0.0

Release date: 07.07.2023

Added/ Changed

  • Add file-based remote configuration update

  • Add basic Bluetooth functionality for observing and broadcasting

  • Improve data processing of stored measurements to decrease processing time

  • Configurable initialization phase of the device with optional LED feedback

Fixed

  • Disabling a device in Cumulocity caused the deletion of the device credentials

  • Failed Cumulocity communication attempts are now retried. The number of retries is configurable, and the default value is 3.

  • Cumulocity measurements with no reading are no longer transmitted with the value -999

  • Minor fixes and improvements

v1.8.0-TRACK-X-3.0.1

Release date: 26.10.2022

Fixed

  • Fixes an issue that prevents the creation of Cumulocity/Cloud-of-Things SmartRest templates

v1.8.0-TRACK-X-3.0.0

Release date: 01.10.2022

Added / Changed

  • Add Cumulocity/Cloud-of-Things platform as a possible target for telemetry data

  • Add functionality to conduct Firmware-Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates via the Cumulocity/Cloud-of-Things platform

  • Automatically adapt to the German daylight saving time offset

  • Add support for multiple APNs of different mobile network operators

  • Store measurements on the flash memory and retry sending if the initial sending failed

v1.7.0-TRACK-X-2.1.0

Release date: 01.07.2022
