AVTECH Software is pleased to announce that an update to the Room Alert 7E Firmware is available for download at AVTECH.com. It is strongly recommended that all Room Alert 7E users upgrade to this version as it adds a number of new features and resolves some issues from previous versions.
Room Alert 7E Firmware v2.0.0 includes the following:
- Added floating point support. Temperatures are now recorded and logged with floating point precision up to one-hundredth of a degree.
- NOTE: Users monitoring their Room Alert 7E devices via SNMP will have to update the SNMP Queries to support the new floating point feature (i.e. 75 is now 7500).
- Added additional logging capability. Up to three logfiles are now stored. When the file size limit is reached, the current logfile is automatically archived and available for review on the 'History' screen.
- Added the ability to reset the logfiles via URL (http://IP of device/cmd.cgi?a=ClearLog). This is valuable for users with scripts that automatically retrieve the logfile at a specific interval and can now clear the file after it is retrieved.
- Added the ability to syncronize the time via URL (http://IP of device/cmd.cgi?a=SyncTime). When the URL is called, Room Alert 7E will use current NTP settings to update the current date and time.
- Major updates were made to the 'Status' page.
- Only the sensor data is updated on refresh to greatly increase refresh speed.
- Custom refresh rates can be specified to update the sensor data.
- Users can choose to display all sensors or only connected sensors.
- Users can choose to display Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature values.
- The thermometer graphic was enhanced for realism and now displays a different scale for Fahrenheit and Celsius values.
- Updated the 'History' page to provide links to the current 'sensors.csv' file as well as all available archived logfiles. Archived logfiles are renamed using the date the last entry was recorded.
- Improved the alert cleared functionality to only clear an alert after the temperature is at least one degree above or below the defined threshold. This greatly reduces multiple alerts caused when the current temperature hovers close to a defined threshold.
- Added a link to the 'About' page to connect to AVTECH.com and check for firmware updates.
- Added a status icon to the switch sensor display. The icon will be red is there is an alarm and green otherwise.
- Improved the NTP feature to try to obtain the network time before logging sensor data if the time has not been set yet. It will attempt to obtain the network time up to 5 times. This is in addition to obtaining the network time when TemPageR boots and should eliminate an issue where the time is not obtained if TemPageR boots before the NTP server in the event of a power loss.
- Improved the Alarm engine to reduce repetitive alarms. The temperature will have to return one (1) degree below the defined threshold before the alarm will be cleared. This prevents alarms from being set and cleared repetitively if the current temperature is very close to the threshold defined.
