What’s New

We ship improvements every week.

  1. Improvement

    Edge-First Sensor History

    Sensor history is now stored locally on the Pi in SQLite and pushed to the cloud in batches. Eliminates real-time database polling and reduces Firebase costs.

  2. Improvement

    Per-Device Health Monitoring

    Device health checks now query each device individually instead of scanning the entire database. More efficient at scale with large device fleets.

  3. New Feature

    Multi-Channel Room Selector

    Assign each channel of a multi-signal HAT to a different room in the Configurator. Cross-room proxy nodes appear automatically, and room tabs can be reordered by dragging.

  4. New Feature

    Documentation Pages & Knowledge Base

    Public docs section with category navigation, search, and CMS-powered content. Browse guides by topic or use full-text search to find answers quickly.

  5. New Feature

    6-Tier Subscription Pricing

    Expanded from 3 to 6 tiers with annual billing discounts up to 20%. New tiers give teams more granular control over device counts, sensor slots, and collaboration seats.

  6. New Feature

    Dashboard Card Resize & Layout Presets

    Drag to resize sensor cards and save custom layout configurations. Multiple presets can be saved and switched per device, so different team members can use their preferred view.

  7. New Feature

    Dark Mode Support

    OS-preference detection with persistent light/dark toggle in settings. All dashboard surfaces, the Configurator, and analytics charts adapt to the selected theme.

  8. Improvement

    Mobile Navigation Overhaul

    Swipe navigation, quick actions FAB, and pull-to-refresh across all views. The redesigned mobile experience makes it easy to check sensor status and send actuator commands from a phone.

  9. New Feature

    Sensor Calibration Wizard

    Offset and linear calibration modes with live preview on all dashboard surfaces. Calibration parameters are mirrored to the Pi edge so readings are corrected at the source.

  10. New Feature

    Multi-Pi Mesh Networking

    Group devices with primary/secondary roles and automatic RTDB sync. Commands sent to a group propagate to every connected Pi, enabling coordinated control across large installations.

  11. Improvement

    Analytics Synchronized Downsampling

    LTTB algorithm for smooth multi-signal chart rendering. When comparing many sensors over long time ranges, all signals are downsampled to the same time grid so trends stay aligned.

  12. New Feature

    Scheduled Automation Rules

    Time-based rules for actuators, setpoints, and PID controllers. Schedules are mirrored to the Pi edge so they execute reliably even when the device is temporarily offline.

  13. New Feature

    Flow Version History

    Snapshot diffs and one-click rollback for Configurator deployments. Every deploy is saved as an immutable snapshot, so you can compare changes side-by-side and revert instantly.

  14. Bug Fix

    SetpointInput Phantom Confirm

    Fixed ghost confirmation when switching between setpoint inputs. Rapidly tabbing through multiple setpoint fields no longer triggers spurious RTDB writes.

  15. New Feature

    Device Health Dashboard

    CPU temp, memory, disk, and uptime metrics from every connected Pi. Threshold alerts can be configured per metric so you're notified before a device runs out of disk space.

  16. Improvement

    Notification Center

    In-app alert inbox with unread badge and mark-all-read. Notifications are grouped by device and severity so high-priority alerts are never buried under informational messages.

  17. New Feature

    Role-Based Access Control

    Team invites with owner/editor/viewer roles. Owners can manage billing and delete devices, editors can modify configurations and deployments, and viewers have read-only access.

  18. New Feature

    Dashboard Sharing

    Public read-only links with room filtering and expiration. Share a filtered view of specific rooms with stakeholders who don't have a LoopString account.
