Hi @tpmanley
Is this a phased release gradually across the shards?
I assume we will get an email as per normal with the upgrade times.
Also 0.19? This seems to be going away from the existing numbering.
Thanks.
That address may be incorrect depending on what shard you are on.
When that link opens, choose locations then Home. It should now take you to your hub.
Look in the address bar for your shard address and save it to your favourites for future reference.
The email will be going out shortly. We’ll be rolling the release out to all shards throughout the day.
I updated the title to be consistent with previous release notes. The version is actually 000.019.00017 but we frequently abbreviate it in different ways like 0.19, 19.17, 19.X, etc… We like to keep it confusing interesting.
Some device type handlers like the SmartSense Multi Sensor allow you to configure a temperature offset if the temperature value reported by the device is a little bit off. The device type handler doesn’t enforce a range for that offset but the 0.18.22 hub firmware only allowed an offset of as low as -9°. Some people had larger negative offsets which weren’t supported in that hub firmware.
