Release `2.18.0`¶

This version was deployed to element-iot.com on 2020-05-27 at 17:00 CEST

New features

External systems and output drivers

· available upon request · experimental¶

Output drivers are processes that receive or collect data in ELEMENT IoT and stream them out to External Systems.

We're launching this feature with 2 output drivers:

Publish to MQTT - publish either readings or packets to an MQTT broker, defined in an MQTT external system
Scheduled reading export - Export readings automatically to an external file system. Matching to this, we ship an external system that connects to a server via SFTP.

CRUD API for packets

· available upon request¶

A new optional API has been added to allow adding, updating or deleting packets to and from devices.

Limits

¶

Quotas, feature flags and rate limits can be configured per-mandate.

For every resource that can be created in an ELEMENT IoT mandate, there is a quota that can be used to limit the total amount that can exist at the same time.

There are also 3 new rate limits that protect from API clients overloading the system:

Total API requests - quickly limit the frequency of all API requests
WebSocket API connection opens - limit how often a new WebSocket connection can be opened
Rule Emails - limit how often rules can send emails

These rate limits can also be configured globally.

For quotas and rate limits in mandates, emails can be sent to a configurable address whenever the limit is reached.

New device statistics

¶

3 new statistics are collected and displayed in folders:

missed up frames (LoRaWAN only) - how many up frames are missing in the last 10 up frames, this is determined by checking for gaps between the frame counters
last packet forwarder ping (GMS only) - how long ago the packet forwarder of a gateway communicated with the LNS
last probe ping (GMS only) - how long ago the probe (gateway agent process) communicated with ELEMENT IoT

Multicast groups

· available upon request · experimental¶

The new ELEMENT LNS update features LoRaWAN multicast groups, allowing an application to broadcast down frames to multiple devices efficiently.

ELEMENT IoT integrates this new feature by allowing to set up a special folder that is linked to a new type of ELEMENT LNS Interface: "Multicast".

Once the multicast interface is set up, LoRaWAN devices can be added to the linked folder. These devices will now receive all down frames that are sent as an action from the multicast interface.

"available upon request"?

New features marked with available upon request are not available by default.

For SaaS customers (for example if you're using element-iot.com), they have to be enabled with the limits feature.

On-premise customers need additional licenses that enable these features

Added single interface show route to API - GET /api/v1/devices/:device_id/interfaces/:interface_id

New features

Autocomplete

¶

Everywhere filters and expressions can be used, a new dialog window is used to enter code.

In this window, autocompletition is available for the entire data structure.

Most of the filters will also supply an "Examples" tab with useful code snippets.

Rules version 2

¶

Conditions and timeout expressions in rules with version 2 now use AbacusSql instead of Abacus. This has 2 advantages:

Autocomplete for the data structure is available
Many useful functions that are only available in AbacusSql can now be used in rules

To use the new version, old rules must be upgraded manually, since they might need slightly different expressions.

New rules will always use version 2.

This version was deployed to element-iot.com on 2019-05-09 at 13:40:00 CEST

Important note

Our map hosting provider is migrating to a new URL system which includes a new API endpoint.

Action on your behalf is required if you have a strict HTTP forward proxy with a whitelist.

If that is the case, you'll need to allow MapTiler's new domain, api.maptiler.com.

This change becomes necessary either

when you upgrade to ELEMENT IoT 2.10

or

after June 15^th, when MapTiler starts redirecting all requests to the new domain.

Read more about this change in MapTiler's blog post.

Release `2.8.0`¶

This version was deployed to element-iot.com on 2019-01-15 at 15:30:00 CET

New features

New Driver: Sigfox
Redesigned device settings

Device settings have been split into sections for general settings, location, one section for each profile and one section for each interface. Additionally, there is a maintenance section where you can delete the device or parse its packets again.

Device location settings now feature a fullsized map which shows the locations of the other devices in the same folder which makes it easier if you want to position the devices in relation to each other
Helpful dialogs prevent you from losing changes when accidentally clicking on a link that would leave the device settings

We made this UI refactor because we needed to make sure the interface mutations are atomic, that means that the entry in the database is only there if it was successfully created in the drivers backend and also that it will not try to create interfaces in driver backends when other validations on the input data was failing.

Enhancements

Further improved stability of the driver system

Release `2.3.0`¶

This version was deployed to element-iot.com on 2018-05-14 at 11:30 CEST

New Features

Profiles

¶

With profiles, devices and folders can now carry custom metadata. In a profile, fields are defined with a name, a datatype and optional constraints (required field, regular expression, min/max).

Once a profile is added to a device or a folder, the fields that are defined in the profile appear in the form.

Examples for useful profiles:

Internal tracking ID in your inventory software
Calibration data that can be used in parsers
Warning and critical thresholds that can be used in rules
Nominal packet interval to be used in time-based rules

The metadata is available in parsers and rules, under the fields key in a device.

With folders, profiles can also enforce a tree structure. This is a feature that is in beta and we'll continue to work on it to make the user experience better.

Time

-based rules¶

With time-based rules, you have more possibilities to monitor your devices:

Send a notification if no packet was received since 30 minutes
Only send failure notifications if a problem persists, for example:
Door was left open for more than 10 minutes
CPU temperature was critical for more than 30 seconds
Parking space is occupied for more than the maximum allowed time

To make use of this new type of rule, set "Execute action when ..." to "... after timer times out". Doing this will change the form:

Duration of timer contains the time in seconds after which the action will be executed
Start condition is the condition to start the timer
Abort condition is the condition that aborts the timer

Gateway management v2

Dashboard was redone
Added more actions, for example (depends on gateway make and model):

Where before you could only access the 50 newest packets and readings, you can view older data in the packets view and in the list mode of the readings view.

If you export a CSV, it will export the items from the page you're on.

Release `1.3.0`¶

This version was deployed to element-iot.com on 2017-09-28 at 11:44 CEST

They now always extend between 3 days ago and now, so you can easily see if devices have sent packets recently. Also, each packet type has its own bar now, allowing you to discern LoRaWAN frames, UDP packets, REST responses and generated dummy data.
