Firmware version Release Notes
2.6.6
released 2022-11-14

Firmware 2.6.6

Important note for P44-DSB-DEH: previously used faster, but less secure encryption methods are no longer available at the update server. This now forces using better but significantly slower encryption for checking and downloading updates on the now 8 year old P44-DSB-DEH hardware. So please be patient when updating - it takes longer but still works fine!

Firmware 2.6.6 for P44-DSB devices is a maintenance release for firmware release 2.6. It contains some general improvements and bug fixes.

General Recommendation for updates: before updating, please always use the "Download configuration backup" button to download a backup of your device's configuration.

Improvements since production version 2.6.4

Bugfixes

  • DALI: fixed problem with scene calls not working with some Tunable White dimmers (also depended on the scene settings, thus happened only in rare cases)
  • DALI: Certain broken DALI devices could cause the bus scanning taking forever with no result. This did not happen in normal operation with all DALI devices correctly operating. The bugfix however helps while diagnosing DALI bus errors.
  • Tunable Whites: Some tunable white lights still showed an icon indicating full RGB color light. Now the correct WW/CW-Icon is shown.
  • Device Name: Assigning a very long name for the P44-xx device could cause dns-sd not being able to publish and thus device would no longer be found in the network by dSS and not appear in Bonjour or Avahi network browsers. Now long names are automatically shortened to prevent this.
  • evaluators: fixed problem with between_dates() which caused too many evaluations on the last day of the date range and possibly slowed down the device for that day.

Improvements

  • DALI: improved logging for DALI groups and scenes.
  • Transitions: More precise output transition timing, multiple channels can now be in differently timed transitions at the same time for hardware devices which support that.
  • Evaluators: improved logging to show which evaluator device is affected when there are unresolved value mappings.
  • Evaluators: more intuitive behaviour when on/off conditions logically overlap (are both true at the same time), improved logging to make understanding evaluator condition evaluation easier.
2.6.4

Improvements since production version 2.6.0

  • hue: ready for upcoming hue bridge firmware release (expected for Q2/2022) which removes SSDP method for finding hue bridge in the local network. New method is DNS-SD (also called Bonjour, mDNS, ZeroConf). SSDP is still supported for old (round) hue bridges.
  • DALI: fix brightness dimming for some RGB(WA) color dimmers.
  • EnOcean: fix F6-05-02 smoke detector learn-in.
  • Evaluator Expressions: new functions isok(), ifok().
  • Transition time: fix bugs that could occur in some edge cases such that scene transitions would not work as expected.
  • log display: there is now a toggle to have log display wrap long lines

DALI

  • Tunable white lights: Support for non-DT-8 tunable white lights providing one dimmer channel for brightness, and a second channel for color temperature (warm to cool).

Evaluators

  • Logging: better display of context when problems in evaluators occur.
  • Debugging: Pretty-printed JSON results in tweak (tweak.html) screens help inspecting API results.

General

  • Of course, detail improvement and bug fixes…
2.5.0
released 2021-03-01

Important note for P44-DSB-DEH: previously used faster but less secure encryption methods are no longer available at the update server. This now forces using better but significantly slower encryption for checking and downloading updates on the now 8 year old P44-DSB-DEH hardware. So please be patient when updating - it takes longer but still works fine!

General Recommendation for updates: before updating, please always use the "Download configuration backup" button to download a backup of your device's configuration.

New features:

  • Automatic check for Updates: optionally, the P44-DSB can now automatically check if a new firmware version is available, and if so, show an alert when opening the web interface (the next available version number is also available as a p44script function for use in triggers and evaluators).
  • Evaluators: the new p44script scripting engine now powers evaluator expressions. 
  • DALI: optimizer now can optimize DT8 lights, too.
  • hue: now supports on/off-only devices such as smart plugs.
  • logging: per device/vdc logleveloffset now allows silencing noisy devices or focusing on devices of interest for support and debugging. To change the log level offset (from -2 to mostly silence to +2 to make very verbose), shift-click the (i)-button of a device and then one of the links labelled logging.
  • logging: new "stats" button/link prints some momentary statistics into the log, such as optimizer state.
  • Option for persistent outputs: if enabled (vdchost level property) output state changes will be saved and when device is restarted, re-applied to the hardware. Note that writing to flash can cause short delays and contributes to flash wear, so only enable the feature when actually needed. It is off by default.

Improvements

  • Better Versioning scheme:
    • Production versions have shorter numbers in the 2.5.0 form (major.minor.revision).
    • Testing/beta versions will keep the longer 2.5.0.0 form, with the fourth number being the beta build version.
    • Beta versions will start with the number of the next release version. So a beta version like 2.5.1.2 indicates that this is a beta for an upcoming 2.5.1 release.
  • DALI: improved handling of DALI2 devices with multiple logical units (LUNs).
  • DALI: better description text (hover over dSUID in info dialog) for grouped devices.
  • DALI: display RGB(WAF)-only dimmers as "color" dimmer in "model" column (these did work as color lights already, but were listed as plain dimmers).
  • DALI: bus with non-fatal errors now allows using the devices that are normally accessible.
  • EnOcean: A5-20-04 communication interval reduced from 20 to 10min.
  • Evaluators: now write a more informative log line when state changes, including the values involved and indicating if the change was triggered by timing or immediate input value changes.
  • Web-UI: all dialogs can now be dismissed with Esc key or by clicking ouside of the dialog.

Bug fixes

  • DALI: fixed problems with groups where devices with valid GTIN, but duplicate serial numbers are involved (such devices are not really DALI conformant, but unfortunately exist).
  • DALI: fixed RGBWAF value range (is 0..254, not 0..127).
  • Window/door/garage contacts: meaning of the active state (binary input = 1) is closed, not open. Except for rarely used EnOcean profiles A5-14-07/08, this is only a documentation/labelling change, because for generic contacts, configurations for both signal polarities existed already to cover different types of window/door contacts. (Note that this has nothing to do with the way window handle inputs work - for these the states were and still are: 0=closed, 1=open, 2=tilted).
  • Optimizer: fix bug that could cause scene not loading correctly.
  • hue: fix problem with manually specified hue bridge url/IP, did not work in some cases.
  • Web-UI: fixed long-standing annoying JQMobile problem that caused open dialogs to scroll instead of accepting the first button clicked.
2.0.5.0
released 2019-12-06

General Recommendation for updates: before updating, please always use the "Download configuration backup" button to download a backup of your device's configuration.

Changes since 2.0.4.0

  • EnOcean: support for A5-20-06 self-powered heating valve
  • EnOcean: support for D2-03-0A single button
  • EnOcean: motion sensors now have configuration variant for sensors that only report "motion" (but not "no motion", e.g. Eltako TF-BSB)
  • vdc visibility in digitalSTROM: the web-UI now offers an option to hide vdcs in digitalSTROM configurator (under "Meters&Controllers") when the vdc has no devices. Note that previously visible vDCs need to be removed manually in the configurator (greyed out lines).
  • DALI: improved reliability with some DT8 color+tunable white lights
  • Hue: workaround for unreliable third-party lights
  • Transition times: fixed bugs, especially with optimized hue and DALI lights.

Other recent new features:

  • EnOcean: Support for D2-14-30 Smoke/Temperature/Humidity sensor
  • EnOcean: support for A5-3F-7F (manufacturer specific) for SR65 3AI (Thermokon 3*0..10V input).

    • F6-05-00: wind speed threshold detector
  • Evaluators: now support functions (abs, round, if, ifvalid, testlater) and can access sensor's age, validity and operation state.
  • Evaluators: now run a initial evaluation after start and when expressions are modified. The initial function can test for this to provide default values.
  • Evaluators: sensor evaluators can now also be used to calculate a virtual sensor value (e.g. a total wattage from 3 current sensors etc.). 
  • Evaluators: internal action evaluators can trigger an external action via http(s) GET/POST/PUT.

Improvements in Version 2.0:

  • DALI: scanning bus for devices is more robust and reliable. Bus problems/scan failures are now clearly visible as errors in the device list status column.
  • DALI: better support for DALI 2.0 device information scanning.
    Note: extended DALI2 scanning is not automatically enabled in existing setups, because due to widespread incompatibilities with the standard some devices might change dSUID when scanned in DALI 2 mode. Use "force scan of all devices" to enable DALI 2.0 device scanning.
  • DALI: device info dialog now shows link to DALI database for standard-compliant devices having a electronic GTIN.
  • EnOcean: upside down option for A5-14-09/0A window handle profiles.

1.9.0.1
released 2018-06-28

Note: Please update your dSS to version 1.14 or newer (or keep it on 1.13.6 or earlier) before installing this update! dSS 1.13.7 and 1.13.8 have issues that can make some devices appear as offline (gray).

Improvements in version 1.9.0.1:

  • Network: improved re-establishing connection with dSS after temporary network problems.
  • DALI: improved bus scan, especially for cases when a bus connects many used DALI devices causing short address conflicts.

New Features in version 1.9:

  • DALI: support for CWWW (ColdWhite/WarmWhite = tunable white) lights, both DT8 and manually configured from two channels.
  • DALI: support for RGBWA (A=extra amber channel).
  • EnOcean: All temperature sensors now can be configured to be indoor or outdoor sensors. 
  • EnOcean: support for A5-20-04 HVAC profile (Hora Smartdrive MX / Eltako TF-FKS)
  • EnOcean: support for SODA multisensor window handle D2-06-01
  • EnOcean: support for Heat Tube Extreme Line device
  • hue: support for "hue ambiance white" lights as "tunable whites"
  • Web-UI: device list now has a status column with useful at-a-glance information, like status of evaluators, sensors, inputs, default output channel etc.

Improvements:

  • DALI: improved handling of not standard compliant dimmers having no proper serial number.
  • Sensors: default setting for minimal push interval is now 30 seconds to avoid dS system overload with volatile sensor inputs
  • Web-UI: updated (self-signed) https certificate that was expired
  • Firmware Updates: secured by RSA signature with 4096 bit key.

Under the hood:

  • a lot of internal improvements and adapations to dSS 1.14 (in particular, vDC API v3). The P44-DSB products are based on the plan44.ch p44vdc framework, which has also become a core component of many new interesting smart device integrations you see in dSS 1.14.
1.8.0.1
released 2017-05-19

New Features in version 1.8:

  • EnOcean: Added EnOcean A5-14-xx multifunctions sensors (e.g. EiMSIG), support for Eltako FAH60 variant for A5-06-01 EnOcean profile, A5-30-03 profile for Afriso water sensor, support for supply voltage sensors for EnOcean profiles that have it.
  • DALI: Support for DALI DT6 (LED) and DT8 (color, tunable white) enabled dimmers.
Improvements:
  • Light: Default for "slow" light transition is now 1minute, as with standard dS Light terminal blocks.
  • Web-UI: Sensor display now shows (SI) units. Device and vDC info shows device firmware versions (e.g. for hue) where available.
  • Web-UI: now forces browsers to re-fetch Web-UI after restarts and updates, so no manual "reloads" should be needed any more.
  • Network: Removed some IGMPv2 activity that could help establishing connections in some networks, but turned out to cause problems with some TV streaming solutions in other networks. Proper solution is to connect dS-related devices via a unmanaged Ethernet switch, not via router's ethernet ports!
  • Hue: hue bridge connection now less dependent on discovery mechanisms that fail in some (broken) networks.
  • Hue: hue bridge is now identified by MAC address in the Web-UI, because that is the information also printed on the bridge hardware.
  • EnOcean: Weather station (A5-13-01/02/03) now has a profile variant that creates 3 additional separate devices for each of the 3 sun direction sensors. This allows using all sun sensors separately in the dSS.
  • EnOcean: A5-13-07 Wind sensor: max speed now reported as gust speed.
  • DALI dimming curve: adjusted to match more closely DT6 LED mode curve. Might cause saved scenes to appear slightly brighter.
  • Stable DALI addressing: DALI short address conflicts are no longer automatically resolved at startup. This is to avoid temporary DALI bus errors causing accidental changes to the numbering scheme. Please use the "force full rescan of all devices" option in the Web-UI in case you add used DALI devices that might cause address conflicts. Note that factory new devices are still detected automatically at startup. 
  • General: improved scanning of devices, better resilience after power cycles / outages.
Bugfixes:
  • Enocean profile A5-02-20 and A5-02-30 delivered wrong values.
  • Device LED did not work correctly in 1.7 when doing a factory reset using the device button (as described in the FAQ).

1.7.0.1
released 2017-02-02

New Features in version 1.7:

  • Configuration backup and restore via web-UI
  • EnOcean: added A5-09-02 (CO) and A5-09-04 (CO2) gas sensors, A5-06-04/05 illumination sensors, A5-13-07 wind sensor.
  • Enocean: buttons now have a profile variant to reverse up/down buttons.
  • EnOcean: heating valve now has a profile variant to use heating valve's internal regulator. For some models (e.g. self-powered valves that need to minimize motor usage), the internal regulator might do a better job than the external regulator.
  • Evaluators: now can use the values of binary inputs (including the result value of other evaluators) in the on/off condition expressions.
  • Evaluators: now can be defined "hidden" to the digitalSTROM system. This can be useful for evaluators that are only used as inputs for other evaluators and are irrelevant on the dS system level.

Improvements:

  • Improved restart behaviour after dSS updates and power outages of the entire system.
  • When the P44-DSB is given a new name, this now immediately gets visible in Avahi/Bonjour (no restart needed any more).
  • hue: better reliability for situations with poor light radio connections.
  • DALI: device grouping/ungrouping is now a lot faster - especially in installations with many devices it could take really long in pervious versions. 
  • DALI: device detection now works with not fully DALI-compliant fixed-address devices, such as soundlight.de DALI->DMX.
  • Evaluators: errors in parenthesized subexpressions were not reported.

1.6.0.2
released 2016-05-18

New Features in version 1.6:

  • Evaluators: This is an important new feature, allowing for the first time to use sensor values of all kinds (temperature, humidity, wind, sun, illumination etc.) to trigger actions in the dSS via scene responder. Please download the documentation for Evaluators for more information.
  • Support for new dSS 1.11 "Impulse" scene (blinking from scene responder app)

Improvments in 1.6.0.2:

  • Bugfix: Under some circumstances, using evaluators in 1.6.0.0 could cause the P44-DSB not to connect to the dSS after a reboot.
