Firmware 2.8.2.12

Beta Test Version with general improvements.

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 2.8.2.11

• matter (beta): more complete handling and display of "bridged" status, another bugfix around adding composed devices.

Changes since 2.8.2.7

• Beta dS485 support: the P44-DSB and P44-LC devices now can take control of and monitor all dS Classic terminal blocks in an installation, and thus also represent them via matter individually (in addition to room state briding that was already available before).

  With this, finally, dS classic becomes an integratable subsystem!

  See here for a short setup guide. Please note that at this time, this is a early beta and does not yet work with OPC (multi channel output) devices, and will also get some more refinement in upcoming firmware updates. At this time, all single output dS blocks should already work fine. Feedback for enhancing this solution is welcome, please mail it to automation@plan44.ch.

  Use the new button labelled "dS485 support..." in the "matter bridge (beta)" section of the System" tab of the web interface to enable/disable the feature.

• logging: some subsystems now can have a separate logleveloffsets, e.g. to amplify or silence logging of specific APIs. There is a new api method call which can be issued via the tweak.html UI or in the p44script IDE using vdcapi().

Changes since 2.8.2.6

• matter 1.4: the matter bridge component (p44mbrd) is now based on matter 1.4.0.0 SDK.

Changes since 2.8.2.5

• Ledchains: fixed regression with LED power calculation introduced with 16bit PWM support - for larger chains, required power calculation result could be way too low under some circumstances.

Changes since 2.8.2.4

• Dimmer Dials: sensors inputs that are used as room/area dimmers can now specify a sync mode, which determines how out-of-sync dial vs current output value is handled. Available modes are "jump" (as before, first change reported by the dial changes output), "pick up" (dial must traverse actual output value to latch), "scale" (dial operates relative to current output).

• bridge API: notifications will no longer get (incorrectly) answered with a { "result":null } message. This caused harmless but ugly "unknown global request" messages in API client (matter bridge, proxy vdc) logs, and was an unneeded communication overhead.

Changes since 2.8.2.3

• Digital IO: digital inputs based on GPIO, i2c etc. are now sampled once at device startup, so the state is valid from beginning. Before, state was "unknown" until the input signal changed for the first time.

• Sensor Evaluators: New sensor types Percentage and Speed in percent of full range per second added.

Changes since 2.8.2.2

• Enocean: support for D2-06-20 electric window drive, support for chained secure messages (as needed by sample D2-06-20 device)

• p44script: fixed bug that did not allow spaces before closing paranthesis in on() { ...} condition.

Changes since 2.8.2.1

• SmartLED chains: adjusted WS2813 and WS2815 timing on P44-xx devices to better match most modern original WorldSemi chips and avoid flicker that did occur in some cases. The old timing is still available as WS2813_N, as some WS2813 clones might need that.

Changes since 2.8.1 / 2.8.1.9

• matter bridge: fixed bug which made composed devices (e.g. some enocean sensors with multiple sensor values) cause Apple Home to behave very unstable.

• matter bridge: sensors now report indoor/outdoor state to matter using the semantic tag feature, such that controllers can use the sensors accordingly.

• Enocean: added profile variants in A5-04-02 for AFTF-HK-FSE sensor, which adds a non-standard illumination sensor.

• p44features: splitflaps: support for older type of SBB splitflaps with "omega controller" controlling a dozen (or more) modules.
