Added support for Dashboards. See the docs here.

Removed 5 plugin limit on PI-HUB

Plugins page is not displaying when a beta update is available for a released plugin

If a beta plugin is installed and then released with the same version, it still shows as beta.

If an update (plugin or HS4) is detected on startup and triggers an event, the event actions may not execute if they belong to a plugin that has not finished initializing.

Events are no longer saved when HS4 is shut down. This reduces the possibility of corruption of the events datafile.

Added setup option to log all device changes and sets. Log includes links to device properties.

The “has additional data” option on the status graphics page is not able to be saved.

If a log entry contains the word “error” it is displayed in red, it should not do this.

Device control buttons now highlight the current status.

Notification icon will now update if a notification arrives and the page is not refreshed.

Devices cannot be controlled from results using the search box at the top of the page.

Reverting to a Previous Version

If you wish to revert to a previous version, you'll need to follow the steps below. Starting with beta 4.2.17.2, a new backup feature was added to back up your configuration whenever you update your HS4 version. The backup may be retrieved from Setup.

When running Beta versions of HS4 it is advised that you always perform a backup from the Tools menu. This is an alternate way to go back to a previous config.

Windows

  1. Uninstall the beta. Do not remove HS4 settings and temporary files.
  2. Install the previous version.
  3. Launch HS4 and navigate to Setup > General and click Edit Config
  4. Select the config file that was created when the beta was installed. The name will contain _before_4.2.x.x.json
  5. Check your events to confirm they're all there and the actions are correct

Linux

  1. Navigate to Setup > General and click REINSTALL UPDATE
  2. Once installation is complete, navigate to Setup > General and click Edit Config
  3. Select the config file that was created when the beta was installed. The name will contain _before_4.2.x.x.json
