ASSET TRACKING - Improved Asset Journey

To further enhance the tabular overview in the Asset Journey, multiple identical asset locations are consolidated into a single location entry in the table. The same applies to the display of location markers on the map.

ASSET TRACKING - Interactive Location Editing

To improve the import of large quantities of LoRaWAN devices, the Bulk Import Wizard has been revised. The displayed help text now shows examples for all supported CSV formats and allows comma and semicolon-separated values. Additionally, a label can be specified under which the devices can be found after import.

THINGSHUB VISUALIZER

The major headlines for Grafana v8.x include a revamp of the alerting system, new and improved visualizations, including status timeline, status history, and histogram panels, live streaming, and library panels that can be reused.

Grafana updated from v7.3.5 to v8.2.7

It has been extensively tested by the thingsHub development team that existing dashboards continue to function flawlessly without adjustments. The migration from Grafana 7 to newer Grafana 8 panels (example: old table widget to new table widget) can be performed at any time via the panel editor.

ASSET TRACKING
with new LTE-M & NB-IOT Asset Tracking devices

In an increasingly complex and globalized logistics landscape, it can be highly beneficial for companies to be able to accurately track their goods as they move through the supply chain. As a leading provider of end-to-end managed tracking solutions, we support forward-thinking companies in developing connected tracking devices or solutions that, in addition to LoRaWAN, also utilize the latest LTE-M and NB-IoT standards to offer high-precision geolocation capabilities in an extremely compact size. With thingsHub 4.8, the Asset Tracking module supports GPS Asset Tracker from our partners Digital Matter and NimbeLink.

USER-FRIENDLINESS AND OTHER MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

User Management:

To enhance security, a standalone API endpoint for changing passwords has been implemented.

Device Automations:

Sending email notifications to predefined users when issues occur with a device automation task.

Google Maps Visualization:

As less can often be more, ad entries, shops, and other POI information are no longer displayed.
