Release Notes

Pi Agent 2.0.3.xx

  • Actuators store value and restore it after reboot
  • Agent includes the script for querying API for available data types and units.

Pi Plugin Framework:

  • Developed a framework to support community driven plugins for new sensors/extensions.

Extension Plugins:

We created a few plugins to support some popular sensors/extensions and types, and can serve as a template for new community created plugins.

Sense HAT Support for Pi Agent 2.0

  • Now show Sense HAT data on the cayenne dashboard, which allows your Raspberry Pi to sense the world around it.
  • Accelerometer widget.
  • Temperature widget.
  • Barometric pressure widget.
  • Humidity widget.
  • A button widget to display the cayenne logo on 8×8 RGB LED matrix.
  • A slider widget to show value on 8×8 RGB LED matrix.
  • Cayenne Sense HAT Plugin. GitHub - myDevicesIoT/cayenne-plugin-sensehat: A Sense HAT plugin for Cayenne

Note: You can fork the plugin to change what the LED matrix displays.

Scheduler

  • Brought back Event Scheduler Support for Raspberry Pi
  • Fixed issue where scheduler was not allowed if devices was added as an Arduino device.

REST API

  • Updated Cayenne REST API for custom web and mobile app development! You can access this API through the green ‘Create App’ button at the top of the web dashboard. Read more about this new API (Cayenne Docs)

GSM support for Arduino.

  • Now connect to Cayenne using a GSM device in remote places without the need of a WIFi.
  • All Cayenne features for Arduino are compatible with GSM device.
    It is based on TinyGSM library, so all supported devices by TinyGSM library are supported by Cayenne.

  • show date and time on the x-axis of the line chart.
  • app crashed when clicked on a freshly installed pi agent
  • pi agents widgets reappear as temporary widgets when deleted from the app.
  • Sensor added from app does not have the correct unit type which results in trigger failing when setting up from the web
  • Auto logout from the account.
  • PI GPIO Tab issue.
  • Pi agent device widget shows zero at the beginning.
  • App stops responding when setting the trigger.
  • Add Loading state to Button widget

  • New authentication engine.
  • Fixes related to actuators.
  • Improvements on devices’ state.
  • Show widgets type drop-down ordering fix.
  • Dashboard widgets reordering.
  • App Store review alerts.
