PureLife Cloud v2.11.0

Dec. 7, 2023  by  Felix Kerber  and  Florian Vogt

Version 2.11.0 is here. Internationalization, delete sensors, revision of forms, advanced settings and bug fixes

New function#

Internationalization#

With this release, users and bots can set their language through the setting. The language selection is saved permanently and not just for the browser session.

Emails and Telegram messages are now sent in the language of the respective user. The webhook descriptions are now sent in the bot’s language.

The CLI and system emails are sent in the system language (language of the operating system on which the PureLife Cloud (instance) is installed).

Delete sensors#

Inactive sensors can now be deleted from the system with the Sensor Management permission and as Administrator.

When a sensor is deleted, all associated events, rules, configurations, sensitivity maps, rule log and audit entries are also removed.

PureLife Care Mobile app download#

In the front end, the PureLife Care Mobile App is now linked for download instead of the Vapro App.

Forms#

The customer and user forms have been revised. Special attention was paid to the email address field. This will no longer be accepted without a top-level domain. In addition, a domain must always be specified.

To simplify orientation during room editing, the sensor’s power cable is indicated in the sketch.

Storage period for events per customer#

Users with the Manage customers permission can adjust the storage duration of the sensor events via the customer configuration, which differs from the system default.

Sensitivity map and learning mode#

If learning mode is activated, with this version the currently active sensitivity map is deactivated and the sensor is automatically restarted so that it no longer uses the sensitivity map in use.

After changing the room (not regions), you will now be asked whether learning mode should be started. This is recommended so that the sensor learns the changed space and a new sensitivity map is created.

If regions are changed in the sketch, the changes are now displayed live in the form.

Firmware selection in firmware tab#

The selection of firmware to install on the sensor has been moved to the firmware tab.

Weak Wi-Fi signal warning#

When you open the sensor’s data tab, a warning will appear if the Wi-Fi signal is weak. The display is not permanently updated. If the Wi-Fi signal is in the good range, no warning is displayed.

The current status of the Wi-Fi signal can be accessed by mouse-over.

Rule variables#

The variables for outputting time and dates have been thinned out and some have been renamed. The old functions will remain for a while.

Other#

• The date selection in the heatmap shows a better preview of which area will be selected.
• When opening the date selection of the heatmap, the end date is now always displayed.

For our self-hosted customers#

User management and search#

The user and customer name of the respective user are now displayed in the admin user overview. The list of users can also be searched.

Storage period for events#

The default duration for storing sensor events can be changed via the admin dashboard. The default value for the storage period is 6 months. Available to choose from

• 1 week
• 1 month
• 3 months
• 6 months

Events are now deleted daily and no longer weekly.

Advanced settings#

• whether the optimization mode should be automatically activated or deactivated for new sensors.
