Welcome thingsHub 4

This major release of thingsHub 4 is the next step in further simplifying the use of IoT technologies such as IoT sensing, Asset Tracking, LoRaWAN, time series analysis, and dashboarding. To achieve this, the web user interface has been redesigned according to the latest user experience principles and re-implemented using the powerful Angular frontend technology. Many of the existing functionalities can now be operated even more dynamically, and IoT data can be displayed in real-time.

Highlights of the new version

Below we would like to briefly introduce the highlights of the new version.

New web user interface optimized for mobile use

The new user interface has been optimized in many aspects. The main navigation has been adjusted in its contrasts so that it stands out better from all other elements of the application, thus facilitating navigation. The header now takes up less space at the top of the browser window.

A uniform scheme has been defined for all page types and functions, according to which they are structured and function. Fonts and colors for linking elements or the tabular representation of data have been standardized.

Since the use of IoT remote monitoring and Asset Tracking solutions often takes place on mobile phones and tablets, the display and usability for these devices have been optimized. All thingsHub components dynamically adapt to the respective screen size to offer the user the best possible usability.

Improved device management and device driver management

As one of the most used modules of thingsHub, device management has been extensively revised. To create as much space as possible for displaying the data table, all adjustable aspects of a device have been outsourced to separate modal dialogs. The tab navigation allows the user to switch between received IoT data or network traffic.

The network traffic table shows all received uplinks as well as the downlinks sent to the device. Information such as signal strength or the used Gateway can also be viewed.

The new Device Driver Management page shows all device drivers installed on the client and allows searching by the name of a device or the manufacturer.

Comprehensive roles & rights management

To significantly enhance the security of your IoT solution, a comprehensive role-based permission system has been implemented with thingsHub 4. It can now be regulated via roles assigned to the user, determining which modules they have access to in thingsHub and whether they can make changes or only have read rights.

The permission system can also be used in all interfaces between thingsHub and other systems. All roles and rights are implemented via the existing REST API endpoints and can thus also be used for interface users.
