[Giancarlo 33]

This change log covers what's changed in Domotz Pro service since previous Release Notes. These changes include Domotz Pro cloud, Domotz Agent and Domotz Pro App.

 

Since previous Release Notes new versions of Domotz Agent and Domotz Pro App have been released. 

 

July 24^th, 2019

  

In order to fully exploit the new features, functionalities and bug fixes released, please make sure you have installed the latest version of

 

• Domotz Pro Mobile App: check on Apple Store or Google Play. Latest version as of today is 2.0.2
• Domotz Agent: check on Domotz Portal under the subscription tab. Latest Agent version as of today is 2.6.1
• Violet Digital Support: check on Apple Store or Google Play. Latest version as of today is 2.6.7

• Domotz Pro WebApp and Portal are already updated to the latest version

 

What's new:

• Automatic Port Mapping - new algorithm: a newer and more powerful algorithm has been introduced in the Domotz service to identify connection among devices. If an Access Point (or any other network device) is connected to a specific ethernet port of a managed switch, Domotz will now infer the connection by exploring all the possible routes and leveraging the data collected out of the managed switch and all the other devices. Thanks to this new algorithm, the automatic port mapping is now much more powerful than in the past 
• Ethernet Port Mapping - manual mapping and hubs: it is now possible to manually select the device physically connected to a specific ethernet port of a managed switch, in the case multiple devices are reachable through that specific port (e.g. in the case a device working as switch is in the middle between multiple devices). At the same time, it is now possible to create a dummy device (hub or un-managed switch) and specify which other devices are connected through that 
• Onkyo, Integra and Pioneer integration: new models of AVR devices from these major brands can now be managed remotely through an intuitive interface available in the Domotz Pro App and WebApp. Network and Device reboots, Zone Info and controls on the Zones, System Info, Streaming Services list and more is now available. Installers can also see when a new firmware upgrade is available and trigger the upgrade directly from the Domotz Pro App and WebApp
• LibertyAV Intelix DC PDU integration: it is now possible to control DC power status on the Intelix DC PDUs  (INT-PSU12), with the possibility to monitor directly through Domotz Pro App and WebApp the output voltage on each outlet (5V, 12V, 24V DC) 
• LibertyAV 8x8 and 4x4 HDMI Matrix integration: LibertyAV HDMI Matrix are now recognized as such by Domotz and grouped under the LibertyAV tile. Domotz users can now trigger a reboot directly from the Domotz Pro App and WebApp

 

Improvements:

• Device Multi-selection added functionality: it is now possible to mark multiple devices to be Not Important with one single command  
• Denon and Marantz - secure access: a new Featured Connection is identified on the Denon and Marantz devices. If the service is available (HTTPS on port 10443), Domotz now shows that connection as the preferred one
• Denon and Marantz - new 2019 models: a new set of models from these two brands are now supported with a direct integration through Domotz
• Control4 OS 3.0 support: the new Control4 OS 3.0 is now supported for the monitoring of ZigBee devices  

 

Fix:

• Crestron PDU driver was triggered only when CTP port is enabled on the Crestron PDU. Crestron devices are now recognized leveraging a different protocol

• Ruckus/Brocade PoE switch, model ICX7150-48-POEF was not correctly identified as such. This issue has been fixed

• Ubiquiti Unifi PoE Switches new firmware: due to the introduction of additional information, the monitoring of power consumtion was broken. This issue has been fixed

• Issue deleting Field Operators with some activities has been fixed

• Wrong behavior when the user tried to delete a web-hook from the Shared Alert configuration has been fixed

• Wrong behavior while set/unset a device as important due to possible race conditions has been fixed

 

Known limitations:

• Eyes configured for deleted devices affect the total counting of Eyes
• Devices with multiple network interfaces (multiple MAC address) can't be merged into single device

• Field Operators can't set alerts on Domotz Eyes (SNMP Custom OID and TCP Services monitoring)

• Static IP address on the Domotz Box cannot be configured before configuring the Agent

Few screenshots related to the new functionalities:

 

Automatic Port Mapping - additional algorithm and manual mapping

 

Access Point or Managed Switches recognized as the ones physically connected to the Ethernet Port of another Managed Switch. It is now possible to power control the status of that devices (if powered through a PoE switch) directly from the device tab:

 

It is now possible to manually specify the physical connected device:

 

 

It is now possible to create hub of unmanaged switch to build a proper topology of the network:

 

 

Onkyo, Integra and Pioneer integration

 

Devices are grouped under specific branded tiles:

 

 

New capabilities offered directly on Domotz Pro:
