Therefore, this update introduces a series of new features and improvements designed to streamline project development, enhance device management, and expand the utility of our platform. As a result, here’s everything you need to know about the latest enhancements.

New Features IoT platform Thinger.io

Brand

• Brand PWA configuration 📱: includes support for uploading app icons directly from the filesystem. Like so allows the configuration of both ‘maskable’ and ‘any’ icon purposes. Fixes

PWA Images can be uploaded from filesystem.

• Brand Share Image 📁: includes support for uploading an image and additionally allows direct uploads from the filesystem.

Share Image can be uploaded from filesystem

• Brand Logos ⏱️: are now served from web server instead of a JSON config, which should reduce load time.
• Brand PWA “start_url” 🌐: to make the console installable on Chrome.

Endpoint

• Products 📡: can now be configured to resend device data to a given endpoint. For example, fetch a given resource every n seconds, or take data from a topic, and resend it to another service.

Endpoint configuration on product profile

• Products 🧰: can now configure bucket tags and subsequently use them on the automatic initialization. Fixes

Data tags configuration on the Product bucket

• Products 🔀: can now handle Resource Streams, i.e., to create custom profiles for HTTP devices.

New Device Stream target on Product API Resources

• Endpoint 🎯: call event now provides context about the caller.

Improved

• Add some resources cache to enhance performance on massive endpoint calls and bucket writes.
• HTTP devices have migrated to a new connection schema, enabling logging of statistics such as bytes sent, received, and connections, similar to MQTT or IOTMP devices.
• You can now use HTTP devices inside dashboards with resources defined at the product level.
• Device property selector for HTML widgets allows selecting any parent node (with nested values), or all property values by not selecting any field. Fixes
• Property PATCH now supports regular JSON for partial property updates. Fixes
• Serving brand icons and logos from the filesystem instead of data URLs now improves page load speeds.
• Dashboard HTML widgets from external storage no longer require public storage access. In the case of members of a project, they will require read access to the storage.
• You can now generate product properties, topics, resources, and functions by calling a product function.
• Product bucket writes can now override tags values based on the write payload. Previously, the product always set tags like ‘device’, overriding any ‘device’ field in the payload.
• Compatibility with OpenSSL 3.0 on SSL certificate provisioning.
• IP Geocoding automatic updates.

Bug Fixes

• Apex Charts widget colors do not honor time series color configuration.
• The system fails to process binary data in the product payload correctly.
• Visual Studio Code not opening the file storage correctly.
• The API explorer failed to display products containing only ‘run’ resources.
• Product profile list for buckets, endpoints, auto provision, and API resources were always displaying ‘Property’ instead of the resource type.
• Info page display on empty or restricted resources.
• Statistics on sockets count.
