• New features whether a major release or new functionality added to an existing feature.

• Improvements to existing features or platform performance.

• Resolved issues with features or functionality.

• Known issues that are being worked on, along with workarounds when applicable.

We made the following improvements to the Command Center:

• If you save, update, and delete jobs in the Command Center, a success message banner displays across the top of the Jobs tab when the action is completed successfully, or an error message message banner displays if there is an issue.

• The OEM::SupportManager role now has execute access. If you are assigned this role, your privileges include the ability to run, stop, and clone a job in the Command Center. Click here for information on Roles in the Ayla Platform.

Groups and Scenes

For both the iOS 6.6.6 and Android 6.6.07 releases of the Ayla Software Development Kit (SDK), we made the following enhancements:

• Added support for base types in the scene properties.

• Added base type support to the init method for the AylaCollectionProperty.

For iOS 6.6.6, we also updated the application notes for using the mobile SDK.

For Android 6.6.07, we also changed the default for pagination to False.

Groups and Scenes

Command Center

In the 6.6.6 release of Ayla Aura for iOS, we added log levels to auraconfig.

In the 6.6.07 release of Ayla Aura for Android, we added the following support for file and console logs:

• auraconfig support for consoleLogLevel and fileLoglevel.

• file and console level configurations to the App Settings screen.

In the 6.6.6 release of Ayla Mobile Foundry for iOS, we added a new forgot password flow with auto sign-in for FastTrack.

In the 6.6.07 release of Ayla Mobile Foundry for Android, we made backport improvements for FastTrack.

We added the following enhancements to the Groups and Scenes feature:

• When you share a collection with another user, that user has access to all devices in the collection, including those in the child collection. A child collection is a particular type of devices that may be associated with more than one collection. For example, you may have a collection called Living Room, which contains a group of various devices, and then associate a child collection called Ceiling Fans that is also associated with other collections. Click here for a description of Groups and Scenes.

• Users now automatically have access to any new devices that you add to your shared collection.

We resolved the issue in which APIs (specifically /api/v1/users/index_by_label and /api/v1/users/index_by_role) were not returning the customers' phone numbers when logged in as a Dealer User. All of the following APIs contain phone numbers in the response schema:

• /api/v1/users/index_by_label

• /api/v1/users/index_by_oem

• /api/v1/users/index_by_role

Groups and Scenes

For iOS 6.6.5 and Android 6.6.06 releases of the Ayla Software Development Kit (SDK), we did the following:

• Improved and added unit tests for scheduling and sharing.

• Added CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) support for Group Sharing.

• Added CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) support for Scheduled Scene triggering, but does not include SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).

• Updated the application notes for using the mobile SDK.

For iOS 6.6.5, we updated AppleDoc from in-line comments.

For Android 6.6.06, we updated JavaDoc from in-line comments.

OTA

For iOS 6.6.5 and Android 6.6.06 releases of the Ayla Software Development Kit (SDK), we included the following to improve User Consent jobs:

• Support for multiple job status filters.

• Device statuses for OTA jobs: PENDING, CONSENT, SCHEDULED, PROCESSING, SUCCEED, FAILED, PARTIALY_FAILED, CANCELLED, QUEUED, WAITING, RETRY.

• Updates to OTA test units.

OTA

Groups and Scenes

Both the iOS 6.6.5 and Android 6.6.06 releases of the Ayla Software Development Kit (SDK) have the following issues:

For OTA:

• The oem_model and dsns parameters are marked as optional, but if either is omitted, a 500 error code is returned.

• Device statuses for DOWNLOADING and DOWNLOADED are not implemented yet.

For Groups and Scenes Collection Shares:

• Updating a Share without devices fails.

• Fetching owned shares and receiving shares are not filtered by collection type.

• Share all Collections is not implemented yet.

• Collection Share support for the OEM message template is not implemented yet.

For Groups and Scenes:

• The ability to retrieve groups or scenes based on matching a custom_attribute keyword or value is not implemented yet.

• When updating or setting [devices/child collections] states in a collection, the property value returns the wrong type.

• You cannot add a scene under a group.

In the iOS 6.6.5 release of the Ayla Aura, we resolved the following issues:

• Displaying start and end times for schedules.

• Selecting the dark theme when the app is in the foreground.

In the Android 6.6.06 release of the Ayla Software Development Kit (SDK), Ayla Aura, Mobile Foundry, and AMAP, we upgraded the cryptography library to Bouncy Castle version 1.68, which requires the following additions to the application gradle.properties file:

• android.jetifier.blacklist = bcprov-jdk15on-1.68.jar

• android.jetifier.ignorelist with AGP 4.2

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.

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.

• Retry to download the OTA update to devices that failed to complete the last update.

• Download the entire OTA Job Report.

Click here for information on how to use this tab.

We refined our OTA features to ensure a robust and stable delivery of all firmware OTA updates configured in Ayla’s IoT Command Center (ICC). Some of our main focus areas have been:

• Continuous OTA

• Scheduling

• Editing

• Reports

We resolved the following trigger notification issues:

• Trigger notifications configured for email and SMS (Short Message Service) using contact_id were missing rules from the configuration. This was occurring because the contact_id was referenced instead of the email or SMS.

• Trigger notifications configured to be sent to 2 or more destinations (i.e. email or SMS) were only sent to one of the destinations.

Groups and Scenes

For both the iOS 6.6.3 and Android 6.6.04 release of the Ayla Software Development Kit (SDK), an alpha release of device Groups and Scenes is available for US Development. Groups enable the user to view and control (perform a single action on) a collection of similar devices (i.e. lights) as a single entity. Scenes enable the user to activate different types of actions to a group of different devices at the same time (e.g. the action might be “morning” and when activated the coffee machine starts, the thermostat is set to a different temperature, and the window shades are raised.) This first phase includes:

• CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) APIs

• Triggering API for Groups

• Unit tests for Groups and Scenes

• AppleDoc generated from inline comments
