The firmware updates happening in the Openmotics portal (Settings - Update) contain not only the firmware update of the Master, but also the firmware of other modules as well as the updates for the Beagle Bone Black. All these different firmware updates are assembled in a package which get's a general version number. This version number which you see in the portal is not the same as the Firmware Version of the Master. To check which firmware version is installed on the Master, in the Openmotics portal, go to Settings - Maintenance and open maintenance mode by pressing the Connect button. Type the instruction <code>firmware version</code> to read the Master Firmware version.

=== Resolved bugs ===
 +
* When a sensor value becomes unavailable (via RS485: HVAC module or Sensor module), the sensor value in the Master remained at the last known good value. In this release, when a sensor becomes unavailable, it will be updated in the Master so correct indication in CLI will be seen as well as the appropriate events will be sent to the BB that the sensor is "NC".

 +
=== Resolved bugs ===
 +
* When executing nested group actions, an additional BA (following the group) could be executed. This release solves this issue.
 +
* When uCAN's are added, the address is checked before adding the uCAN to avoid uCAN's with address 255.255.255.
 +
* To test Group Actions, the CLI instruction "basic action debug on" can be used to see what's been executed. However, the printing will slow down the execution so long group actions couldn't be executed fully. For this reason, the immediate queue timeout and the group queue timeout has been increased to 15 seconds.

=== Resolved bugs ===
 +
* The Brain(+) has 2 I2C buses. These buses are controlled by dependent state machines. When a main state machine using the I2C dependent state machine got blocked and has to be reset, the I2C dependent state machine could remain in a state where the bus got blocked. To avoid this situation, this release contains a change where the I2C depend state machines are converted to I2C main state machines in other words, I2C is not dependent anymore of the main state machine.
 +
 +
=== Added functionality ===
 +
* During startup, the search of RS485 modules will not automatically be started anymore. The BB will use the necessary BA's to start the search when needed and appropriate and when the BB is ready (all reads etc are done) so the Master has the necessary processor time to execute this search. The CLI instruction "module discover search" can also be used to start the search process and can be stopped by using the instruction "module discover stop".

=== Resolved bugs ===
 +
* The Reset byte (Eeprom Page 0 Byte 85) was read from the wrong location in Eeprom. This is resolved in this release.
 +
* On the Brain, input 1 and input 3 are switched in order. In this release, input 1 and 3 are switched. For customers using these inputs, a reconfiguration of these inputs will be needed!
 +
* On the Brain(+), when using the internal 0-10V outputs and the 1 button dimming was used, errors occurred in the output state machine which could be seen in the "Fram logging".
 +
* When state machines are taking longer then expected, state machines could be killed even in the middle of an I2C session resulting in a I2C corrupt bus. This release will avoid state machines to be killed when an active I2C session is ongoing.
 +
* The FRAM buffer has been increased (from 50 to 250) to avoid buffer overflow resulting in multiple state machines taking longer than expected (until new space available in the buffer).
 +
 +
=== Added functionality ===
 +
* Endless loop detection has been added in this release:
 +
** Endless loop is a detection mechanism to detect when a group action will execute itself, or when for example a group action will execute a group which has the output group follow function enabled that executes again the same group action which can result in endless loops making the Master unresponsive.
 +
** When the Endless loop detection is enabled, group actions with the same action number can only be executed once in 1 execution run. An execution run stops when the active BA queue size returns to 0.
 +
** When nested groups are used, every new group action will check all parent groups to see if no double exist (and thus a loop is created).
 +
** In Eeprom Memory Model, Page 0 Byte 84 has been added to enable/disable the Endless loop detection
 +
** Event 19 has been added: When an endless loop is detected, this event will be thrown
 +
* CLI instruction "input link write" only allows input in range with outputs in range (max number that can be used is the MAX OUTPUTS = 480). To unconfigure an input from an output, it wasn't possible. From this release, it's possible. Example (first link input 32 with output 8)
 +
input link write 32 8
 +
OK
 +
 +
input link read 32
 +
Input 32 is linked to Output 14
 +
OK
 +
If you want to unconfigure input 32:
 +
input link write 32 65535
 +
OK
 +
 +
input link read 32
 +
Input 32 has no Output nor any action(s) linked

General

This firmware is based on the new hardware of the AIO. This Master processor of the AIO is from the Microchip DSPIC33E family and the firmware is written in C

The firmware updates happening in the Openmotics portal (Settings - Update) contain not only the firmware update of the Master, but also the firmware of other modules as well as the updates for the Beagle Bone Black. All these different firmware updates are assembled in a package which get's a general version number. This version number which you see in the portal is not the same as the Firmware Version of the Master. To check which firmware version is installed on the Master, in the Openmotics portal, go to Settings - Maintenance and open maintenance mode by pressing the Connect button. Type the instruction firmware version to read the Master Firmware version.

V1.0.143

Date: 24/06/2022

Resolved bugs

  • When a sensor value becomes unavailable (via RS485: HVAC module or Sensor module), the sensor value in the Master remained at the last known good value. In this release, when a sensor becomes unavailable, it will be updated in the Master so correct indication in CLI will be seen as well as the appropriate events will be sent to the BB that the sensor is "NC".

Added functionality

  • CLI instruction "dali sensor link write" now also supports 255 as Dali address so a programmed Dali link can be erased

Added functionality

  • Memory model Page 0 Byte 86-89 has been added:
    • Byte 86-87: In these bytes, the timeout of state machine "Task Immediate queue" can be programmed
    • Byte 88-89: In these bytes, the timeout of state machine "Task Group queue" can be programmed

  • The automatic search mechanism for RS485 modules was failing when more then 1 module of the same type needs to be added, only the last module of that type was added. This release fixes this issue and make sure that all RS485 modules are added.

Added functionality

  • This release supports reading Serial number and Testing data by the Test System

V1.0.127

Date: 03/02/2022

Resolved bugs

  • Wrong detection of module type (Brain or Brain(+)) resulting, for the Brain+, that leds and buttons didn't function correctly anymore
  • In the startup sequence of the leds (10 times flashing), Open Collector output 5-8 also followed the flash sequence. This is not the case anymore in this release.
  • For the Brain+, during a reset, the 0-10V outputs are being kept at 0V until the full startup is done and Eeprom activate is executed. This could take between 5 and 10 seconds before the 0-10V output have again the required output. This release will set the correct 0-10V output within +/-1 second after reset.
  • API Instruction "PC" generated an error when pulse counter series had a value higher then 1

Added functionality

V1.0.126

Date: 31/01/2022

Resolved bugs

  • When a new CAN bus is created and the Micro CAN's are not initialised yet, the traffic is very limited so the Micro CAN detects no traffic and will indicate the CAN bus status as not OK. In this release, the Master will sent keep alive messages every 10 seconds so the status led on the Micro CAN is correct all the time.
  • The reliability of setting front panel leds is improved. In this release, also no events will be sent anymore when the led status have been changed to lower the number of messages sent from the Master to the BB.
  • When the I2C power is applied during startup, the Open Collector outputs are immediately driven. In this release, the I2C chips are initialised faster to minimise the time the Open Collector outputs are driven during startup.
  • The API "FM" instruction had the wrong ID format making the boot loader of Micro CAN's over CAN Control fail. This is resolved in this release.

Added functionality

  • Pulse Counter implementation is changed:
    • Eeprom Memory Model Input page - First page Byte 120-127: Link an input to a Pulse Counter
    • Maximum of 32 Pulse Counters is configured now
    • Only Pulse Counters of External Input Modules or the 5 internal inputs are accepted as Pulse Counter
    • Input Module Firmware F6.0.27 or higher is required
    • Pulse Counters are automatically checked by the Master every 30 seconds
    • When a change is detected, an Event will be sent
    • API Event 3 has been added: When a Pulse Counter has been updated, this event will be sent
    • API Instruction "PC" has been changed

V1.0.124

Date: 18/01/2022

Resolved bugs

  • API Instruction "FM" used during the full bootload process of the Micro CAN was not always using the correct destination address in case of boot loading of a Micro CAN over the CAN Control module. This release solves this issue.

Added functionality

  • API Instruction "FM" also allows now to sent CAN broadcast messages

V1.0.121

Date: 10/01/2022

Resolved bugs

  • When configuring a duo output as shutter and both outputs are ON (using BA10 104), both outputs should be switched OFF at the time of configuration.

Added functionality

  • CLI instruction "thermostat setpoint read" has been added: This instruction will read the Thermostat Temperature Setpoint
  • CLI instruction "thermostat setpoint write" has been added: This instruction will write the Thermostat Temperature Setpoint
  • CLI instructions with "," are also accepted. Example:
thermostat setpoint write 5 60,5

or

thermostat setpoint write 5 60.5

will both work

  • Modbus functionality for Micro CAN's have been disabled in Master code since not in use
  • Thermostat setpoints are stored in FRAM so a system restart will immediately load the last setpoint and continue operations:
    • All set points are loaded from FRAM during system start
    • New set points are automatically written in FRAM as well

V1.0.120

Date: 31/12/2021

Resolved bugs

Added functionality

  • Remote eeprom reading/writing of RS485 slaves
    • With CLI instruction "eeprom read" you can read the processor built-in eeprom of a RS485 slave
    • With CLI instruction "eeprom write" you can write the processor built-in eeprom of a RS485 slave
    • Some eeprom addresses, that are in a protected area (with serial number for example), are write protected if these bytes have already been written
    • CLI instruction "eeprom read" and "eeprom write" have been extended to be able to cope with the above functionality
    • RS485 instruction "Read Slave Eeprom" have been added
    • RS485 instruction "Write Slave Eeprom" have been added

Example: Read input module with address 73.20.51.10 eeprom location 1

eeprom read 73 20 51 10 1
73 (1)
OK

V1.0.119

Date: 24/12/2021

Resolved bugs

  • Some modules (with older firmware like input F6.0.17 & F6.0.23) are not able to be discovered. This firmware helps to resolve this issue.
    • Eeprom Memory model Page 0 Byte 11 has been modified: BIT2 has been added to be able to disable full handshake of the discovery of new modules.

Added functionality

Release instructions

Guideline how to add a module that can't be discovered

  • Step1: Go to maintenance mode
  • Step 2: Stop any discovery ongoing
module discover stop
  • Step3: Change the automatic discovery setting in eeprom:
eeprom write 0 11 2
  • Step 4: Activate this setting:
eeprom activate
  • Step 5: Start the discovery mode
module discover start
  • Step 6: Push the init button, you will get the below message (it's normal you get 2 times the same message, the ID will of course not be the same as below)
New Input module (I) found: 073.157.108.015
New Input module (I) found: 073.157.108.015
  • Step 7: Add all the modules that needs to be added
  • Step 8: Stop discovery mode
module discover stop
  • Step 9: Set the discovery setting in eeprom to standard again
eeprom write 0 11 255
  • Step 10: Activate this setting:
eeprom activate

Notes:

  • When an input module with F6.0.23 is used, the above procedure will work correctly
  • When an input module with F6.0.17 is used, it might be that the above procedure will not work when the automatic search has been performed (the module doesn't sent init messages when pushing init button). This can be solved by doing the following:
    • After Step4, perform a power reset of the full installation
    • After the Power reset, continue at Step5

V1.0.118

Date: 20/12/2021

Resolved bugs

  • When configuring a duo output as shutter and both outputs are ON (using BA10 100), both outputs should be switched OFF at the time of configuration.
  • When using "can debug on", situation could occur that a storm of messages appears on the screen. In this release, this is filtered.

Added functionality

V1.0.104

Date: 19/07/2021

Resolved bugs

  • First time setup of a CAN bus gave problems with CAN bus speed (uCAN's were not able to communicate). This release solves this problem.

Added functionality

  • Master Firmware version V1.0.104 or higher has an improved search mechanism for slave modules: When a new slave module is found during the automatic search, first the Master will check if the Slave module is responding, when positive the Master will request the slave module to program its slave address, after this the slave module will respond to the master that the slave address is programmed and only then the module is added in the Master list. The automatic search will only work with following slave firmware versions (below is the newer version):
    • Output V6.0.15 or higher
    • Dim Control V6.0.16 or higher
    • Input V6.0.23 or higher
    • Temp V6.0.13 or higher
    • Can Control V6.0.36 or higher
  • When CLI instruction "can config delete" is used, a broadcast message will be sent to all the uCAN slaves (with Firmware version 6.0.17 or higher) to factory reset every connected uCAN.

Release instructions

Factory Reset of a full installation can be done with following guideline

  • Use following instruction to delete the CAN config (please make sure you have fw version 6.0.17 or higher for the uCAN's):
can config delete
  • Use following instruction to delete the Master eeprom:
eeprom erase 0 511 28883
  • On the slave modules, push the init button during power startup until the status led flashes 4 times
  • Use the CLI instruction
reset

Manual Init of slave modules with an older firmware version

When this firmware release is used with older versions of slave modules, adding modules may not work. Use following work around to add these modules:

  • Change the search functionality setting
eeprom write 0 11 0
  • Perform Eeprom activate to copy Eeprom settings into RAM:
eeprom activate
  • Use now the manual procedure to add modules:
module discover start
  • press the init button on the modules to be added. Once done, leave the discover mode:
module discover stop
  • Automatic search can be activated again:
eeprom write 0 11 255

Manual Init of slave modules with an newer firmware version

When the newer firmware version is used (which should be always the case), use below instruction to change to manual search:

  • First set the correct Eeprom value:
eeprom write 0 11 2
  • Activate the Eeprom value
eeprom activate
  • Start the manual discovery process
module discover start
  • Press the init button of the modules that you want to add, then stop the discovery process
module discover stop
  • You can enable the automatic search again:
eeprom write 0 11 255
eeprom activate

V1.0.83

Date: 17/03/2021

Resolved bugs

In the Hardware design, a 24LC1025 is used as Eeprom. When multiple bytes are written in one I2C instruction, the Eeprom writes the full 128 bytes (half) page. This IC however cannot write in one I2C instruction over this half page boundary. For example, when 6 bytes are written at page 5 byte 126, you would expect that byte 126, 127, 128, 129, 130 and 131 are written. In reality, byte 126, 127, 0, 1, 2 and 3 are written. To resolve this issue, 2 things needs to be done:

  • Make sure that the firmware built-in functions cannot overwrite this half page boundary by restructuring some Memory Model pages
  • Make sure, in software, that the write are limited

Following changes in Memory Model have been done:

  • Memory model change "Input action press 1 second":
    • Old position: Second page Byte 112-159
    • New position: First page Byte 32-79
  • Memory model change "Group Action BA pages"
    • Old: 42 Basic Action consecutive per 1 page (256 bytes)
    • New: 21 Basic Action consecutive per half page (128 bytes), half page always start at byte0 or byte128.

    • Pulse counters will be kept in FRAM on the modules where it's counted. So for the inputs of the Core/Core+, the counting values will be kept on the Core/Core+. For the input module, the counting values will be kept in FRAM on the input module.
    • When a request is made from the BB for pulse counter information, that request is forwarded to the node that contains the counting data
    • API RS485 instruction "Request state of Input Module: Partial Pulse Counter Information" has been added
    • API RS485 instruction "Request state of Input Module: Full Pulse Counter Information" has been added
    • API RS485 instruction "Request state of Input Module: Input state" has been added

    • The Pulse Counters for the internal inputs are incremented when a "press" is detected
    • Every 300ms, the Master will check if any of the internal pulse counters have been incremented. When this is the case, the Pulsecounter information will be updated in FRAM including 2 bytes per Pulsecounter (CRC16 check).
    • These bytes are written twice in FRAM
    • During startup, the integrity of the Pulsecounters are checked. If One bank has a failed integrity check (for example power failure during writing), the second bank is taken to load the pulse counter information in memory and start counting.

V1.0.61

Date: 08/09/2020

Resolved bugs

    • BA10 105 has been added: Link shutter x with shutter group y
    • BA10 106 has been added: Unlink shutter x with shutter group y
  • CLI instructions
    • CLI instruction "shutter list" has been added
    • CLI instruction "shutter group link list" has been added
    • CLI instruction "shutter name read" has been added
    • CLI instruction "shutter name write" has been added
  • Output module in Roller/shutter mode
    • When an output module is added in Roller/Shutter mode, the output status of the 8 output is automatically changed to Shutter mode (BA10 104)
  • Shutter groups
    • Max 16 shutter groups can exist, every shutter can be part of 1 or more shutter groups (or even can be part of all shutter groups)
    • Shutters that are linked to a shutter group can be lock/unlocked together or moved (up/down/stop) together
    • When moving a group of shutters, first will be checked if any shutters of this group are already moving, then those shutters will be stopped and a delay of 500ms will be applied before those shutters are activated (up or down) again.
    • Shutter can be locked and shutter groups can be locked. When a shutter group is locked, the individual group and the shutters inside that group can't be used anymore until unlocked.
  • API instructions
    • Instruction response "GC" info_type=1 has 2 extra parameters: Max_shutters and Max_group_shutters
    • API instruction "sD" has been added

V1.0.36

Date: 21/9/2019

Resolved bugs

  • API instruction "FS" reported the wrong length

Added functionality

  • Roller/Shutter functionality
    • A consecutive set of 2 outputs (0&1, 2&3, 4&5, 6&7 etc) can be used as normal outputs or as Roller/shutter outputs (never both can be ON at the same time). When the user tries to switch ON both, those outputs will be switched off.
    • Eeprom Page 391 is used to link the Roller shutter Nr with the Output Nr
    • When an output duo is configured as roller/shutter and no shutter timer has been set, standard 255 seconds will be applied.
  • 32K PSV memory limit
    • The PSV memory has a limit of 32k to store all constants. Since this stores the text information of the BA's as well as the CLI instruction, this limit was reached
    • In this release, The CLI instructions are stored in ROM in stead of PSV.
  • FRAM functionality
    • Roller shutter data like lock status, movement direction, position etc is stored in FRAM and retrieved at reset
    • The timer values of all outputs are kept in FRAM when a light/output is ON. When a reset occurred, the timer is kept and the count down is continued after startup.
  • API instructions

V1.0.35

Date: 6/8/2019

Resolved bugs

  • Functions like "output all off" didn't always switch off all outputs on the RS485 modules.
  • API commands "DL" and "GC" didn't respond.
  • When an input was pressed or released, the same API "EV" was sent.
  • API command "EV" did report the wrong timer value when an output was changed.
  • API command "MR" was missing 1 byte in the response string

Added functionality

  • FRAM support:
    • Add queueing for FRAM writes
    • Status outputs (status + dimmer value) are stored in FRAM
    • At startup, the FRAM Output Status values are retrieved and the outputs are restored in the status (including dimmer value) before the reset or power outage
    • At startup, the current Time and Date is written so we know when the last startup or system reset has occurred
    • The number of uptime hours are being kept in FRAM. Every hours, this is written in FRAM.
    • Uptime, firmware version & startup time/date is displayed in "error list".
    • Page 0 is protected now and can't be changed by using CLI/API instructions.
  • RS485 bus stability
    • The bus was acting too fast and giving the modules not always enough time to answer resulting in some bus errors
    • Eeprom value (Page0 Byte8) has been added which gives the number of ms between each scan of a module
    • With this value, the Bus speed can be modified and tuned if needed.
    • The standard value works for the most common environments
  • Module Type
    • Module type has been added so the BB knows which kind of module is initialised
    • Module type has been added in "error list"
    • Module type has been added in API instruction "MC"

V1.0.34

Date: 28/7/2019

Resolved bugs

Added functionality

V1.0.33

Date: 25/7/2019

Resolved bugs

  • Removing CAN bus when AIO was in ON state and after 10 minutes, reconnecting didn't bring back the CAN bus. CAN bus now comes back after +/-1 minute.
  • When the power was applied and the date was not yet set for the first time, the Clock always started at 00:00:00. This release fixes this issue.
  • With the CLI instruction "sensor list", in rare events, ghost values appeared (strange values for non connected sensor). The values remained correct in memory but were wrongly displayed. This release fixes this issue.

Added functionality

  • API instruction "EV" (Event) has been added, see https://wiki.openmotics.com/index.php/API_Reference_Guide_AIO
  • API instruction "ER" (Error) has been added, see https://wiki.openmotics.com/index.php/API_Reference_Guide_AIO
  • API instruction "SI" (Sensor Information) has been added, see https://wiki.openmotics.com/index.php/API_Reference_Guide_AIO
  • API instruction "MR" (Memory (Eeprom) Read) has been added, see https://wiki.openmotics.com/index.php/API_Reference_Guide_AIO
  • API instruction "MW" (Memory (Eeprom) Write) has been added, see https://wiki.openmotics.com/index.php/API_Reference_Guide_AIO
  • New state machine checks sensor health every 2 minutes, if a sensor is not responding, API message ERR will be send
    • This has been added for uCAN sensors
    • This has been added for sensors connected to the Openmotics Temperature module
  • If a sensor is not responding, the sensor value will be put on NA
  • CLI instruction "health debug on" and "health debug off" has been added, see https://wiki.openmotics.com/index.php/CLI_Reference_Guide_AIO
    • When a sensor is not reporting a value, this will be printed on the console when health debug is on
    • When a sensor is not reporting a value, an API ER message will always be sent to the BB even when health debug is off
  • CLI instruction "change debug on" and "change debug off" has been added, see https://wiki.openmotics.com/index.php/CLI_Reference_Guide_AIO
    • When a sensor has received a value that is changed towards the old known value, and change debug is on, a message will be printed on the console
    • When a sensor has received a value that is changed towards the old known value, an API EV message will always be sent to the BB even when the debug function is off.
    • When an output receives a trigger to update his values (output state, timer, dimmer), and change debug is on, a message will be printed on the console.
    • When an output receives a trigger to update his values (output state, timer, dimmer), an API EV message will always be sent to the BB even when the debug function is off.
  • Sensor (temperature, humidity, brightness) follow function for non-can sensors has been added including the debug functions.
