What changed in v3.1.1?

Version 3.1.1 adds finer control over when sensor-triggered rules and alerts fire, a smoother role setup flow, and a significant round of mobile app updates — including remote board and firmware management, dashboard widgets, and a real-data-backed vehicle companion experience.

• New: Sensor-triggered rules and alerts can now be restricted to specific days, dates, or times of day — e.g. only trigger on weekdays, during certain months, or within a time window.
• New: Added a "warm-up" delay option so rules only fire once a condition has held steady for a set time, avoiding false triggers from brief sensor spikes.
• New: Setting up a new role is smoother — you can now pick a board type and download its firmware before the physical board is even connected.
• Fixed: Some automation rules could trigger more than once unexpectedly when using the new warm-up delay.
• Fixed: A bug in firmware generation that could cause board firmware builds to fail.
• Fixed: Downloading firmware for a role without a board configured now shows a clear, helpful message instead of a generic error.
• Improved: Reliability of firmware builds across different machines.
• Performance: Faster sensor rule checking and quicker-loading sensor history charts, especially over longer time ranges.

Mobile app updates

• New: Customizable dashboard widgets for your sensors.
• New: View your boards, check firmware build status, and trigger a firmware update remotely.
• New: Selectable colour themes in Settings, saved across sessions.
• New: Custom checklist system — assign checklists per vehicle, set a frequency, choose push, alarm, or email alerts, and follow step-by-step instructions for preset items.
• New: Add vehicle and garage photos from your camera or gallery, with clip-art icons as a fallback.
• Improved: Dashboard redesigned with live data and working quick actions.
• Improved: Reminders, Maintenance, and Odometer entries are now backed by real data throughout.
• Improved: General reliability and responsiveness improvements across the app.

What changed in v3.0.0?

Version 3.0.0 is a major architectural release. The board communication model has been completely overhauled with an embedded MQTT broker, replacing HTTP polling with instant push-based control. Firmware generation, sensor alerts, schedule sensor conditions, a configurable dashboard, and expanded board support are also introduced in this release.

• New: Embedded MQTT broker (port 1883) — boards connect at startup, publish heartbeats and telemetry, and receive output state changes instantly via retained messages.
• New: Last Will & Testament (LWT) for automatic board offline detection.
• New: HTTP is now OTA-only. All output control is push-based via MQTT — no poll delay between a change and the board responding.
• New: Auto-generated ESP32 firmware — A-HAP generates and compiles board-specific Arduino sketches with WiFi credentials, MQTT config, sensor wiring, and output mapping pre-filled. OTA flash supported from the Board OTA page.
• New: Sensor alert rules — define threshold-based conditions on any sensor channel with configurable severity levels and event logging.
• New: Output–Sensor Trigger enhancement — multi-condition trigger rules deliver instant output changes via MQTT when conditions are met.
• New: Schedule sensor conditions — scheduled actions only fire when a sensor reading meets the defined condition at execution time.
• New: IP camera feeds can be added, proxied, and viewed from the web UI, with a dedicated recordings browser page.
• New: Configurable dashboard with live status widgets for boards, outputs, and sensors.
• New: Board hardware variants modelled in the system with a seeder for common ESP32 variants. LCD display configuration per board.
• Improved: Sensor system now includes live telemetry per channel, derived telemetry (e.g. dew point), and a sensor details page with live readings and history.
• Improved: Theme and appearance settings are now system-wide and applied consistently across the full UI.
• Improved: Mobile app API significantly expanded to support the full sensor, output, and board status feature set.

What changed in v2.0.1?

Version 2.0.1 is a maintenance release focused on mobile app connection reliability and installer download stability.

• Fixed: Mobile app login/API calls no longer receive browser-style redirects when authentication is required.
• Fixed: Mobile API requests now return proper API responses instead of HTTP 302 redirects to the web login page.
• Fixed: CORS middleware is correctly enabled for mobile and media API endpoints, preventing HTTP 500 errors during mobile login and video/media requests.
• Improved: Website download API endpoints now point to stable installer filenames, so future installer files can be replaced without changing endpoint code for every release.
• Improved: Web static asset loading has been corrected so CSS is served consistently in the web app.

What changed in v2.0.0?

Version 2.0.0 is the next major A-HAP release, focused on sensor-driven automation, mobile access, visual monitoring, media recording, UI customisation, and updated installers for all supported platforms.

• New: Built-in sensor library for common general-purpose sensors, including environment, distance, motion, light, water, gas, power, load, and custom sensor types.
• New: Sensor readings can be used to trigger other outputs from the A-HAP server.
• New: Sensor readings can be used to generate email alerts when configured trigger conditions are met.
• New: Mobile app access for controlling and monitoring A-HAP more easily.
• New: Theme colour customisation so the app interface can be adjusted from settings.
• New: Video feed capability for visual monitoring inside the A-HAP workflow.
• New: Snapshot, timelapse, and video recording functions.
• Improved: ESP32 sketches can stay simple and send collected sensor values to the server, while trigger logic, comparisons, alerts, and actions happen centrally.
• Improved: Runtime storage layout supports application data, logs, and media recording directories required by the v2 application.
• Improved: Schedule/manual-control conflict handling from the previous maintenance release remains included, so manual output control is not immediately cancelled by an inactive schedule window.
• Packaging: New v2 installers are available for Windows x64, Linux x64, Linux ARM64 / Raspberry Pi, macOS Intel, and macOS Apple Silicon.
• Compatibility: Existing trial download, paid license purchase, activation, validation, and release-license endpoints continue to use the same A-HAP licensing mechanism.
