Feature requests

I thought I'd create a new feature request thread that consolidates known feature requests into one topic. Please feel free to add your own requests here.

Here are some updates I've been waiting for:

  1. Improved search options - for user logs and general devices. Some logs have filter/search options, but most of them don't. If we need to debug user logs, it can be challenging to find specific entries, especially in a large apartment building with 180+ apartments.
  2. The ability to disable/enable drivers from themes/programs.
  3. The option to insert links into the bOS web browser/camera jpeg links directly from a program.
  4. The option to disable the bOS internal chat or limit chat access to admins only.
  5. The ability to export data to Excel, particularly metering values and other relevant information for building managers
  6. Better graphs for analog logs - zooming and pinpointing values. 

    Forum feature - make it so the user/topic creator is able to edit its posts - it lets you edit for only a short time period after posting.

Hello Jurgen,

thank you for your suggestion/wish!

It will be adde to our pipeline for future releases.

As a workaround, instead of disabling the reading, you could create a new modbus driver, use the same connection settings, cut/paste just the working slaves and leave the rest in the disabled modbus driver. You might have more nodes at the end, but you'd say a lot of time :)

Best regards

Hey

Another wish of mine. For Modbus connections. Where one main line is used. Would be great if there was an enable/disable for current slave address connection, so if it has communication error I could just turn it off so it wont slow down the servers requests for the functioning units. Some commands may even go missing if the server is dealing with dead devices on the line.

Here I have 4 units that are either disconnected or having some other troubles. If I want to turn off the reading of registers I need to do it manually for every register. One button to disable it until its fixed would save some clicking.

It would be nice to modify values directly without opening multiple windows. For example, if we have \sensor1.value, and for another panel we need to use \sensor2.value. I understand that using the device tree ensures correct data without errors, but could it be validated if we change the values directly in the configurator field?

To add to this.
I would like to have Values and Function in the same window/tab:

So when we need to refresh values we dont need to click around between two tabs.

Also alert messages inside bOS app should be in a separate window, so they wont cover(overlap) the full screen. For example if there is an error with push query - then its impossible to use the app if it only spams errors.  Sometimes the admin needs to turn off the unit that has errors but again its hard when the events are actively updating.

Also in the events windows, would be nice if there was a button "acknowledge" or something - as every new device that logs into same account has to scroll thru all the events to clear the red mark(new events active). 

Mark events as read button is needed also for new device(mobile or tablet) installs. Right now I have two options. Scroll thru few years of events or delete them all. I don't want to delete them, but clients keep asking how to clear that red dot on the events.

Hello Jurgen,

currently this isn't possible, however it is a great idea. I've added it to our pipeline for integration.

We might add a check button for the controllers you wish to keep an eye on. Simply adding this function now without this option would mean if you have 100+ controllers and for some reason many of them are offline, you'd start getting a ton of email spam..

So we might add a check option for each server that you can tick and then get a notification if it goes offline.

Best regards.

Another idea: Would it be possible to send a notification to email when bOS controller goes offline(Online/offline status is visible under the bOS controllers). We monitor our network devices but if the router itself is pinging it doesnt show us if the bOs service is down. Or what is the best method of monitoring the bOS service?

Hello Jurgen,

I'll put it in the pipeline as well so we'll add the filter here as well.

Best regards.

Hello,

we'll see what we can do regarding these values for importation into our tasks.

Regarding your previous request for search and sorting, try updating to our latest beta version. Many quality of life improvements have been implemented in the beta (read the update notes). We'll also make a separate video explaining the main features that were added.


Best regards.

Hey,

Great to see new features.

I would like to have search/filter option for user logs too.
