- | Apart from a few older plugins | + | **Rosetta Note:** While the entirety of the main app and all more recent |
- | NOTE that no database changes are made while updating to this version so if you do have issues with the new plugins you can return to the previous version by just replacing the previous executable. It should not be necessary to replace the Database with the backup version that will be made when running this version for the first time. | + | ====9.5.3 Change Log:==== |
- | ====9.4.47 Change Log:==== | + | * **Amcrest Camera API:** |
- | * All plugins | + | * Fixed an issue that caused some cameras not to work with the event system. If you find that any cameras still do not send you events but also dont log any other communication or connection errors please let me know we can gather some more info. |
- | * Specific list of plugins that were converted: | + | * Added a check to the enableEvents() command so that it will not try to enable events |
- | * W8002 (the new API W800 plugin, | + | * Added support for specific Units to link to Object Detection if your camera supports it. You can now create a Unit to get an ON when a human is detected, or when a vehical is detected and so forth. |
- | * Arduino | + | * Amcrest API New Status and Display commands: |
- | * Barix | + | * setFontScale(0.1..2.0) control |
- | * APC Status | + | * setChannelTitleVisible( true|false) |
- | * DIY | + | * setChannelTitleLocation( 34, 12) |
- | * Haiku Fans | + | * setChannelTitleColor( R, G, B, A) |
- | * iTach | + | * setChannelTitleBackColor( R, G, B, A) |
- | * Max Sonar | + | * setUserDisplayVisible( index, true|false) |
- | * RadioRA2 | + | * setUserDisplayText( index, “the info to display”) |
- | * RFX and RFX New plugins | + | * setUserDisplayLocation( index, xloc, yloc) |
- | * pigpio | + | * setUserDisplayColor( R, G, B, A) |
- | * FIX: Unrelated | + | * setUserDisplayBackColor( R, G, B, A) |
- | * The Alexa Sudo plugin now uses a shared connection | + | * setLogoVisible( true|false) hide or show the Amcrest logo image overlay |
- | * FIX: the tpLink/Kasa plugin had some code typos in rarely used error handling | + | * setLogoLocation( xLoc, yLoc) |
- | * NEW: Scheduled Events are now searched from the search window. If you search for a Unit or Script | + | * setLogoFilename( “osd.bmp”) your camera must support allowing you to change this or it will do nothing. |
- | * Changes: Several | + | * setTimeDisplayVisible( true|false) |
+ | * setTimeDisplayLocation( xLoc, yLoc) | ||
+ | * setTimeDisplayColor( R, G, B, A) | ||
+ | * setTimeDisplayBackColor( R, G, B, A) | ||
+ | * setTimeDisplayFormat( “yyyy-M-dd hh:mm:ss t”) see the wiki link above for a table of valid format string entities. | ||
+ | * note that there is a limit to the number of overlays the camera can “blend” into the encoding video. Check the capabilities below to find out what the limit is for your camera. They may all be different. My doorbell cam can only do 2 at once. | ||
+ | * changed the logEvents() command to be showEvents() and it now shows the info in a window rather than just writing it to the log. | ||
+ | * changed logMotionRegions() showMotionRegions() which also shows the list in a separate window rather than just writing it to the log. | ||
+ | * showCapabilities() opens a window with most, but not all, of the capabilities of the camera listed. There are still some more to add | ||
+ | * There are a LOT of other things I can add to this plugin that could be controlled. | ||
+ | * **Last Activity:** A change | ||
+ | * **Home Kit:** | ||
+ | * Updated | ||
+ | * **Hue Plugin:** | ||
+ | * Hue Plugin: Fixed an issue where it could send continual updates | ||
+ | * Hue Plugin: Fixed an issue where the temperature format was not saved, sticking all readings in F. | ||
+ | * **Video System:** | ||
+ | * Video Encoder Plugin: Added a checkbox so you can suppress logging of video encoding times if you wish. | ||
+ | * Video: Removed error logging for stalled streams as this would fill the log if the camera was offline for any length of time. To log this information please implement the stalled script handler in the Interface Script and write to the log whatever information | ||
+ | * **Sysinfo Plugin:** | ||
+ | * System Info Plugin: no longer claims in it’s startup log message to be the Disk Space plugin. | ||
+ | * Fixed an incorrect default link to the boot volume so that this will work without having to edit it each time. | ||
+ | * **Internal Python:** | ||
+ | * Python: A symlink to the built in python3 version is now added to / | ||
+ | * Python: XTension changes many environment variables in order to use it’s internal version of python. If you are running | ||
+ | * **Web Remote:** | ||
+ | * Web Remote: New documentation of the hashing of web remote links to immediately go to a specific page or view. This can be useful if you are saving specific links as iOS shortcuts, or creating a Kiosk type application. This is not a new feature, but was never properly documented. [[webremote: | ||
+ | * Web Remote: Added several new scripting commands to control sessions | ||
+ | * Web Remote: Added support for a resource folder that will be served as regular files through the web remote built in web server. This way if custom controls or other features you are adding need to load a specific image or other support file they can do so if you put it in the resources directory inside your XTension Database. [[webremote: | ||
+ | * Note that these changes have not been rolled into the mobile web remote plugin, only the desktop version. | ||
+ | * **Plugin API:** | ||
+ | * A new key for the info.json file that will allow a plugin to receive any scripting command the user issues. This simplifies some kinds of plugin tasks at the expense that users script will not know if the command succeeded or not, all commands will just be sent and forgot. This does not affect regular using the app, only plugin developers. | ||
+ | * Added the capability for plugins to display information in new text windows and to append to or change the display of one without opening a new window each time. This mostly affects plugin developers but I used it in the new and changed | ||
+ | * All plugins | ||
+ | * **Hubitat Plugin:** | ||
+ | * Hubitat: Added entries to the “insert” toolbar menu for the central scene Held, and Released events to make it easier to script these without having to visit the wiki to look up the specifics. | ||
+ | * Hubitat: Added support for Energy and Usage units. If a device reports these values a Unit will be created for them. | ||
+ | * More updates | ||
+ | * Hubitat: Some devices from the Hubitat will now have more descriptive, | ||
+ | * Hubitat: The list of supported commands for each Unit is now saved to a [[dictionary: | ||
+ | * Hubitat: Push messages from the Hubitat that are sent when a software update is started, or when the device is about to reboot to install a software update will now just log that information rather than generate an “unknown push message” | ||
+ | * **Scripting Dictionary: | ||
+ | * NEW: the [[dictionary: | ||
+ | * NEW: The [[dictionary: | ||
+ | * **Xtension UI:** | ||
+ | * New: Each unit will get a new Unit Property called Created with the date the unit was created. You can add this to any List view by control clicking in the headers and selecting create custom column. Then you can sort lists by the date the Unit was created and not just the last activity date. For new Units this is set as they are created and then never changed. For existing Units the date is taken from the creation date of their folder within the database. This seems to work pretty well for most units most of the time, but there may be a date in the past where you restored a database or otherwise performed an action on it that would have reset those dates. This is still the best I can do but keep in mind that older Units may not show the date they were actually created, but the last time you zipped and moved the database or something like that. | ||
