Known Issues

  • IF (anything) then MQTT actuator triggers aren’t working at the time of this release

I should add that in order to facilitate the fix for the Arduino slider multiplication issue, we’ve released a small update to the Cayenne Arduino Library. You should be able to see the update in your Arduino IDE by going to Sketch > Include Libraries > Manage Libraries > Updatable.

We made a hotfix last night to address some of the more major known issues in the above list. I’ve updated it to cross out the items that are now fixed.
