No, the previous version is deprecated, and starting July 1st, no one with the previous version will be able to connect their devices up until they upgrade the agent.
The new agent brings the MQTT standard and we will extend it further, so it is the way forward. We are deprecating the old agent because it create a numerous issues in our servers, so it is difficult to continue support. So please understand it is not just that we don’t want to leave it available. Deprecating this agent will allow us to devote more time to further enhance the new agent and improve Cayenne with other features.
Si es comprensible pero realizar el cambio de un agente a otro y perder la utilidad del proyecto durante un tiempo indeterminado es una faena para los usuarios como yo que confían y están agradecidos a ustedes por la facilidad y el uso que nos da la plataforma
I understand and agree with you, but given the time constraint, it was a painful decision to make. The upside and intention with the new agent, and being a standard communication protocol, will allow us to avoid situations like this in the future.
One of the great virtues of the previous version was the programming of tasks … I hope they do not take long in this bug … it would be too much to ask to be able to program in fractions of time? in minutes?
I’m a new user to Cayenne so I’m not really sure if I understand exactly
what sensors/actuator will NOT now function with the new Raspberry Pi Agent 2.0.
For example is the BMP 180 temperature/pressure sensor included in this group.
Specifically I noticed that when trying to add a BMP 180 sensor, the only Pi listed that
that the sensor could be attached to had Agent 1.x and the Pis with Agent 2.X were not
even listed among the Pi to select.
It’s not as simple as clicking a button to add it right now. You can send the data from that sensor but you will have to code it yourself. I’ll see if I can find more info tomorrow to help you out, just wanted to let you know.
Thanks for the quick response to my question. At the moment I’m just trying to learn how to use Cayenne with various sensors/actuators that I hope to include in some future projects. For that reason it really is more important to me, that I only try those devices that are still supported in Agent 2.0. Is there any plan for a more detailed list of which of the devices described in the documentation are supported in Agent 2.0. In the absence of such a list, can I assume that if when I try to add a new device, and the system only displays the Raspberry Pi with Agent 1.x, that the device is NOT yet supported by 2.0.
Keep in mind that this sensor also reads barometric pressure. You would have add it as a new sensor under the pressure category. You’ll see 2 BMP180 listed as it was the case in the temperature category. Choose the one that only says “Barometric Pressure sensor”.
