Operational report🔗

We have implemented a real-time report by project. It shows information about lighting settings and statistics for the entire project, individual locations and lighting zones. The report is available in the web interface at the tab Spread Dashboards → Operational Report. report

Brightness tweak.🔗

A new algorithm has been added to the Dali manager to maintain the brightness in the light zones. Using this algorithm reduces the load on the DALI bus, as well as on the RAM and processor of the controller (by reducing the number of commands sent and using Up/Down commands instead of StepUp/StepDown). The disadvantage of the algorithm - tweaking depends on the values of fadeRate in each fixture and at certain values may be less smooth relative to the old algorithm. In practice, the fadeRate value should be chosen based on the balance of the bus load and the required smoothness of the tweaking. Large values of fadeRate reduce the load but reduce the smoothness, small values are the opposite.

To enable the algorithm:

  1. Open the web interface on the Spread Dashboards → Project Settings tab.
  2. open DALI manager, check the FadeRate checkbox and press Save. faderate

Other.🔗

  • The climate subsystem control module (Climate) is implemented, which includes:
    • temperature sensors TemperatureSensor;
    • thermoregulators Thermoregulators;
    • fans Fan;
    • floor heating HeatedFloor.
      Previously, control was available only through Node-RED scripts.
  • Implemented Animeo manager and AnimeoRemote provider for integration with Somfy blinds via Animeo IP controller.
  • Added KnxTemperatureSensor provider.
  • Fixed errors with the DaliPushButton provider.
  • Shading subsystem Shading management and KnxMotor provider work were brought in line with the changes in the Shading API (Motion, PositionLevel and PositionAngle tops).
  • Publication of project entities appeared. You can connect to the controller via any MQTT-client and see data about providers, equipment, locations, etc.
