No idea about timelines but if you follow the commits in GitHub there are changes in there for a 2.2.2 and 3.0.

Hi,

we plan to make first milestone release in 3.0 branch in late January or early February.

Best regards,
Victor

thanks Victor. Do you already have some of the big changes in V3.0 as a teaser?

Hi,

current 3.0 branch does not have much visible differences from 2.2 now besides sensor objects. These changes aimed at simplifying work with different sensors - currently we have support for LoraWAN sensors and integration with this open source LoraWAN server - https://gotthardp.github.io/lorawan-server/, as well as DLMS sensors with commercial extension. We did some internal changes as well aimed at improving internal architecture and simplifying functionality extension. Major changes planned for 3.0 branch (in no particular order) are:
- UI redesign (for better usability - it is quite cluttered and complicated now)
- Sub-policies in event processing policy
- Replace built-in email sender and SMS drivers with "communication channels" - so it will be possible to use Slack and SMS simultaneously for example
- User-based notifications (just select "notify user" in event processing policy and server will pick up appropriate communication channel from user profile)
- Better virtual infrastructure integration and visualization
- Improved network topology visualization (OSPF routes, default routes on IP topology maps, etc.)
- Tight Unimus (https://unimus.net/) integration
- Analytical tools for collected data
- Not decided yet: support for JavaScript or Python server extensions

Best regards,
Victor

Hi Victor

Thanks for the insights. Any new chance for an iOS (iPhone) console?

best regards

I finally assign one of our developers to this task in late December (as part-time task). Hopefully we will get at least a prototype soon.

Best regards,
Victor

Hi Victor

If it helps, I can help him with tests, feedback and so on. I'm not a developer, but I can invest some time for that help.

thanks
Dani

Victor,

All of those changes sound fantastic and are all things that I've wished for in the past.  I definitely look forward to the tighter Unimus integration.  Communication channels and sub-policies will be very much appreciated.  I would like to give you my vote for Python for server extensions.  It would be particularly AMAZING if things like transformation scripts could be done in Python, too.
