Following are for the Ayla Integrated Agent 1.10 (ada -1.10) for Espressif ESP-IDF 4.3.2:

	Feature	Summary
1	ESP32-C3	We added support for ESPRESSIF’s ESP32-C3. Click here for a description of this microcontroller unit (MCU).
2	Properties	We added support for datapoint acknowledgements (acks). This allows the host app to respond to new property values, confirming receipt and indicating any issues, such as out of range or invalid.
3	Properties	We added support for datapoint metadata. This allows additional data to be supplied to or from the device with each datapoint. The metadata consists of up to 4 flexible key/value strings.
4	Device Property Base Type	We added support for message properties used when sending large JSON, binary, or text datapoints to and from the device. Message properties can handle a datapoint size of 512 KB.
5	LAN Events	We added a new LAN event called PME_LAN_STATE_CHANGE that can communicate with any event handler to indicate whether the LAN session is active or inactive and whether the key-exchange has failed.
6	LAN Connection	We optimized the LAN connection to detect a wrong connection earlier. With this improvement, if the mobile app tries to connect to a device that may have had the same IP address in the past, the error is detected at the initial HTTP transaction, rather than when the key exchange fails.
7	Clock Source	We resolved an issue in which the clock_source variable was not being updated if the time last used to set the clock was around the same as the new time received from another source, making the time provided from the clock_source variable unreliable.
8	Security	With this release, we only support Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 to ensure the best solution to security threats. Please note that the host app must be configured to disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, and to check for certificate expiration. Otherwise, the build will fail.
9	Evaluation Board	For ESPRESSIF’s ESP32-C3-Mini evaluation board or ESP32-C3-WROOM-02 evaluation board, we added support for the WS2812B LEDs, which enable communication using a one-wire interface. There is a multicolor LED on the board, which the demo can use instead of relying on external LEDs that are needed to connect.
10	Security	We resolved an issue related to ensuring that sensitive data is not logged to the debug/console port.
11	Client Health Check	We resolved an issue in which a warning and then a Watchdog abort occurred because the ESP32 Client Health Check was not enabled by default in the demo. The Client Health Check feature provides auto-recovery, which causes the system to reboot if the client cannot connect to the cloud or hangs for any reason.
12	Debugging	We added the client CLI command for debugging purposes.
13	CLI Command	We added the erase option to the core CLI command to provide the ability to erase core dumps.
14	Logs	We restricted the level of log messages coming from the ESP-IDF Wi-Fi subsystem to only messages of warning level or above.
15	BLE Local Control	When Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Local Control is disabled for the device, the Ayla device agent will shutdown the Bluetooth (BT) controller to free up memory. If BLE Local Control is later enabled for the device via the cloud, the device must be reset to restart the BT controller.
16	ESP-IDF	We updated ESP-IDF to version 4.3.2. Please refer to Espressif’s site for the fixes in this version.
17	Demo App	We resolved an issue in which the demo app build from the ESP32 binary embedded agent release failed to link due to missing multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) components.
18	Security	To ensure that expiration dates for Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates are checked, we now require that the build configuration option called MBEDTLS_HAVE_DATE_TIME is set in all Software Development Kit configurations (sdkconfigs).
19	CLI	We resolved an issue with software-initiated reboots (i.e., after a crash or factory reset), in which the Command Line Interface (CLI) reset was intermittently resulting in errors.
20	Clock Source	We resolved an issue with the clock in which the time was not accurate after a software reset. With this fix, you no longer need to use the previous workaround to sync the real-time clock to the high-resolution timer before software resets.
21	BLE	We resolved an issue in which when the BLE Connect setting was disabled, crashes occurred after a factory reset if Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) was executed during the Wi-Fi setup.
22	BLE Local Control	We resolved an issue in which the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Local Control feature was not working because the pairing/bonding step did not complete.
23	Connectivity	We resolved an issue in which the ESP32 C3 agent failed to establish a reliable LAN connection with Ayla Aura.
24	Logs	We resolved an issue with core-dump summaries that save log snapshots, in which it seemed like multiple log snapshots could not be recorded.
25	Clock Source	We resolved an issue in which the clock was hours ahead of the actual time after entering the reset command or issuing a factory reset.

3	US Field	Logs	We reduced the number of logs pushed to LogIQ to ensure all the information in multi-line log messages is captured.
4	EU Field Owlet Dev Shark Field Hilo Field	Properties	We enhanced the GET API called /dp-svc/api/v1/datapoints/unfetched so that the Ayla Device Service includes metadata and the updated_at timestamp in the get command response. This allows additional data to be supplied to the device with each datapoint.
5	US Field	Schedules	We resolved a corner-case issue in which after disabling a schedule using the mobile app, the schedule was disabled in the Cloud, but not on the device. The device therefore executed the schedule even though the schedule was no longer on the mobile app.
6	US Field	Logs	We resolved an issue in which device data logs that were sent as a binary message property type were corrupted when exported from Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) as datapoints.

Feature

Summary

Remote Device Management

The 2.9.10 release of the Ayla Production Agent for the Murata 1LD model has been improved as follows:

Upon receiving notifications, the device now requests commands (not property updates) from the Cloud even if listen was not enabled by the microcontroller unit (MCU).

To facilitate troubleshooting, the platform now supports enabling the client listen command from the Command Line Interface (CLI).

The device now has an auto-recovery process in which the device makes sure it is able to get commands from the Cloud at least once every 24 hours and if the device cannot do this, it resets itself.

Device Connectivity

The 2.9.9 release of the Ayla Production Agent for the Murata 1LD model provides the following improvements:

Domain Name System (DNS) cache entries are not deleted when the device loses connectivity to the plaftform.

We added statistics to the notification mechanism to enhance the troubleshooting process.

We added enhancements to reduce memory usage.

Device Connectivity
Wi-Fi Connectivity
Wi-Fi Setup

In the 2.9.9 release of the Ayla Production Agent for the Murata 1LD model, we resolved various issues related to performance, Wi-Fi connectivity, and Wi-Fi setup. Following are some examples:

LAN mode no longer crashes after an MCU response timeout.

When disconnected for a short time, the device no longer expects listen to be enabled if the MCU was not notified of the outage.

In LAN mode, the first request for a property no longer times out.

We resolved an issue in which under some conditions, multiple simultaneous accesses to the Wi-Fi chip would cause the chip to become unresponsive, and the module would reset to recover.

We resolved an intermittent issue in which responses from the device to the Cloud were taking too long to time out if the network connection was lost. We now have a 25-second timer on all property sends to the Cloud, which cancels the send operation if any underlying network issues arise.

We reduced memory usage to use module resources more efficiently, and prevent memory exhaustion errors.

When an invalid URL for a file datapoint is received, the module now recognizes the error, terminates the file property operation, and continues to fetch other commands or post properties.

There is no longer a memory leak after the final probe timeout.

Summary

Data Streaming Service

We added two connectivity events to Ayla’s Data Streaming Service (DSS):

Initializing - STATUS_INITIALIZING = "initializing";

Polling Online - STATUS_POLLING_ONLINE = "pollingOnline";

You can use the new connection statuses to know when specific devices enter the initialization or polling online states. For example, you may want to tell end users the most up-to-date status, like when devices are in the polling online state, in case the devices are experiencing latency for control events.

Command Center

We added a Job Report tab to Ayla’s IoT Command Center so that you can review your host OTA jobs, as well as modify some aspects of jobs that are in progress. This tab provides the ability to:

Review the operational status of a specific device or all devices for the selected host OTA job.

Remove devices queued to receive the OTA update from the selected host OTA job.

	Feature	Summary
1	Schedules	We fixed the issue in which there were duplicate scheduled actions appearing in Over-the-Air (OTA) jobs. This occurred after associating a new template, which was then used for OTA jobs created and started on the Ayla Customer Dashboard.
2	OTA	Based on an intermittent issue in which the success or failed status_update call was not propagated in the Over-the-Air (OTA) services, we changed to an asynchronous process making status updates more robust and stable.
3	Schedules	We improved the Schedule API to use a JSON metadata object to confirm that the device supports the Sunrise/Sunset feature. This feature enables you to configure local sunrise and sunset times in Ayla schedules if your device and its firmware version support the ability to execute schedules based on sunrise and sunset settings. The new metadata object ("metadata":{ "sunrise_sunset":true}) can be returned via GET APIs or set by the client application. If your device does not support sunrise/sunset settings, the sunrise_sunset key value pair is omitted; it is not necessary to use a sunrise_sunset:false key value pair.
4	Triggers	We fixed an issue in which device property triggers were not completely removed from the platform when deleting the trigger notification.
5	Devices	We fixed an issue in which the getRules endpoint ignored the input parameters for specific DSNs (Device Serial Numbers) or UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) and instead returned all rules for devices/users mapped to the DSN or UUID specified.
6	Triggers	We fixed the issue in which changing notification preferences caused the trigger notification to fail.
7	Command Center	We increased the OTA image size limitation to 512 MB in Ayla’s IoT Command Center.

	Feature	Summary
1	Properties	We resolved a file property delivery issue in which the file property was marked as fetched before the file property datapoint was marked complete, and the error logs showed 500 status codes. This was seen when delivering the set_zone property, and when the device was cycling (switching) between two template versions. Click here for more information on File Properties.
2	Data Streaming Service	We resolved an issue in which all datastreams that the user created in Ayla’s Data Streaming Service (DSS) were removed after deleting the OEM user. Only personally identifiable information should be removed upon deleting an OEM user; all of the OEM user’s configurations that affect other users should not be removed.
3	Devices	We resolved an issue in which the devices Search \| By Property feature in the Ayla Customer Dashboard was failing with a 401 response. To use this feature, in the dashboard, click Devices in the left navigational panel, click SEARCH DEVICES on the All Devices tab, click the By Properties tab.

	Feature	Summary
1	Devices	We resolved the issue in which the local time was not updating properly on some devices after doing a factory reset or when the initial provisioning process failed. With regard to the factory reset, the device did not sync the timezone after 36 hours.
2	Schedules	We resolved the issue in which schedule actions kept duplicating when you cloned a private device template more than two times and then re-associated the second (or subsequent) cloned template to a device. This issue was also occurring on Over-the-Air (OTA) jobs that were using cloned private templates.
3	Feeds	We changed the SQS (Simple Queue Service) configuration to fix the issue in which weather feed properties (e.g. outdoor temperature) were not being updated per their configured data feed update intervals (e.g. 1 hour).
4	Feeds	We fixed an incorrect queue name in the SQS (Simple Queue Service) configuration to resolve the issue in which inconsistent datapoint values were posted for weather feed properties.
5	Feeds	We found and updated an incorrect mapping in the feed-processor code to resolve the issue with missing data for air quality properties (such as Ozone-O3).
