Allow Multiple Files in Firmware
A new feature is introduced to add multiple files with different file types in the firmware module. Users can update the software version too. To learn more about the role of multiple files in firmware, refer to this section of a OTA firmware updates management user guide.
Sending Modules to a Device
We are introducing a new module to send a module file from IoTConnect to Device.
Call Direct Method of Devices
The direct method gives you the ability to invoke direct methods on devices from the cloud. Direct methods represent a request-reply interaction with a device similar to an HTTP call where they succeed or fail immediately (after a user-specified timeout). This approach is useful for scenarios where the course of immediate action is different depending on whether the Device was able to respond or not.
Security/Infrastructure Enhancement
Security points on the portal have been improved with enhanced password validation and lock use. If a user enters the wrong password thrice, it gives the admin user the option to lock/unlock the user from a user list.
