What's New — App 1.17.x Wind Direction Rules with Compass UI Create automation rules using compass directions (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) with a new visual compass selector. New "Between" operator lets you define a wind sector — the rule triggers while wind stays within the arc. Mixed AND/OR Conditions Rules with multiple conditions now support independent AND/OR operators between each pair. Build flexible logic like "Wind > 25 AND Direction = NE OR Rainfall > 5" — all in one rule. Improved Module Onboarding Added "Restart your router" guidance before pairing. A warning now explains why the Start button is unavailable when phone and module are on different WiFi networks. Notifications Fixed Push notifications now deliver reliably for Manual On/Off, Sensor Connected/Disconnected, Module Offline, and Connection Restore events. Notification Center opens without errors. Bug Fixes & Improvements iOS: fixed overlapping screens during module connection, fixed cursor issues when editing rule values Android: fixed Start button active on empty module list, fixed stepper motor showing only one rule type, fixed calendar date picker controls Fixed white screen when creating LED device rules Fixed PH sensor calibration crash Weather Station sensors now display proper icons Rule condition limit shows explanatory message when max (4) is reached Desktop: fixed notification filters, preferences page, and layout crash "Delete all rules" no longer gets stuck on offline devices

Fix bugs

This release adds full support for the S3 hardware platform and the new Weather Station device type. On the App side, the update enables you to work with S3-based devices in the same familiar way as other modules: you can add them to your system, see their sensors, and manage firmware updates through the app. On the Firmware side, S3 Firmware 2.1.4 (with updates up to 2.1.46) focuses on reliable sensor discovery, robust Modbus communication, multi-network Wi‑Fi, and a cleaner factory reset process. New tools like LED identification make it easier to work with S3 devices in large installations.

Zones / Rooms (App & Desktop) Zones/Rooms for organizing equipment Introduced a full Zones/Rooms concept in the platform, allowing users to group devices and sensors into logical areas (e.g. rooms, zones) for better navigation and monitoring. Implemented in the Desktop/Web app and integrated into the App, building on previous “Rooms/Groups” work. Covered by regression scenarios for App Release 1.16 to ensure stability. Zones UX fixes Fixed pull‑to‑refresh behavior in the Zones tab so data reloads reliably. Fixed the inability to add devices to a zone and ensured the Add device list populates correctly. Fixed cases where the Add device button was not loaded or not visible when it should be. Fixed issues where the sensors window and filters did not refresh correctly after sensors were removed from a zone. Rules & Automation (with S2 Firmware 1.16) More reliable sensor‑based rules offline Sensor‑based rules continue to operate when the internet connection is down, as long as the module and sensors are powered. Correct rule behavior when the router is powered off Improved how modules and rules behave when the router is turned off (and later back on), avoiding devices remaining on just because connectivity was lost. Multiple time‑based rules Fixed cases where only the first time‑based rule would execute properly; now multiple scheduled rules execute according to their configured time windows. Manual vs automatic control state Improved interaction between manual device control and automation rules, ensuring fields such as mode, activeRuleUid, secondsEnabledFor, and secondsToSwitchBack stay in sync when users override device state temporarily. Sensors & Safety CO₂ sensors – reduced false Disconnected states that previously required module restart to recover. PAR sensors – fixed behavior where a PAR sensor could appear as Disconnected and later disappear from the module while still physically connected. Hydro module pH sensor – hydro modules now properly detect missing pH sensors and avoid operating without valid pH data. Abnormal air‑temperature values – added protection against unrealistic air‑temperature readings that could lead to continuous operation of devices.

This update makes the system easier and more reliable to use in everyday work. Sensors are now clearer to understand, easier to add or remove, and the app does a better job of showing their real status over time. The app now clearly shows device status, highlights new notifications, and warns you when a device needs a firmware update. The app is now available in more languages, and overall it feels smoother, clearer, and more dependable.
