Hello Losant users and IoT enthusiasts! Today is an exciting day – we’ve released a fresh platform update with a number of new features and improvements to existing features. Here’s a summary:
-
You can now specify a test device in an Edge workflow, which will automatically receive updates made to the
developversion. This removes the need to manually create a new version and schedule a deployment during workflow testing. -
We’ve added Siemens S7 to our roster of supported edge protocols through the new Siemens S7: Read and Siemens S7: Write Nodes.
-
We’ve introduced a new Application: Sync Trigger for Edge Workflows, which can execute a flow on receipt of updates to the Edge Compute device, its peripherals, and/or application globals.
-
We’ve exposed the AWS SQS, Azure Event Hubs, GCP Pub/Sub, and Particle Call Nodes in Edge Workflows, which allows for publishing to these services directly from your Edge Compute devices without having to go through an Application Workflow first. Additionally, in Application and Experience Workflows, users can now publish to those same cloud queue services without having to set up a Losant integration first.
- The “Resolution” field in the Data: Time Series Node now accepts custom values outside of the suggested resolutions for a given duration. More importantly, this field now accepts string templates, allowing the resolution to be defined by a value on the workflow payload.
