Version History

Disable unsafe triggering per individual reading (clouds, rain, wind, pressure, humidity, light). Real-time weather publishing via HTTP. Pushover now requires application token. Shortcut to config page from main interface.

New ASCOM driver and Windows software HTTP connection. Alpaca driver (beta). Light unsafe spurious reject. Minor improvements and cosmetic fixes.

Fixed an issue where a single error in a pressure reading was incorrectly interpreted as lack of a pressure sensor.

Safe/unsafe status for individual readings added to JSON files. SQM readings added to single-line files. Gateway error fixes. Timezone configuration with fixed GMT offsets. Expanded debug data. Graphics window button for debug access.

Full support for the new light sensor reporting in magnitudes per square arc second (mpsas). Wind unsafe detection switched to gust speed measurements.

Fixed some issues with the new light sensor in recent CloudWatcher units.

Minor fixes: pressure sensor detection, pressure and wind gust data added to shared files, Windows share updates, cloud detection delay now correctly stored, cosmetic improvements.

NAS remote folder support, described in the Tweaking the Solo guide. Windows share update fix. New cgiGetDataFile function for advanced users/integrators—any Solo data file can now be fetched via http://aagsolo/cgi-bin/cgiGetDataFile?file_name.

New operating system. MQTT publishing. JSON data support. Improved notification services. NTP protocol. Web page enhancements.

Rain heater algorithm smoothed between low and high temperatures. Pushover messages added alongside Pushbullet. Improved USB pen auto-mounting reliability.

Internal maintenance release.

Fixed the internal maintenance script so it properly cleans all log files.

New full static IP setting from https://aagsolo/ExtraConf.html. Fixed a version 2.2 installer problem. Internal cleanup.

Cloud detection delay to avoid a single passing cloud closing the observatory. Smoother ambient temperature/humidity graph for units with an external RH sensor. Firmware update ability with no Windows PC needed. More configuration options (Pushbullet, Zeroconf, DNS). Trace of unsafe-detection events. Option to revert to an older software version.

Fixed an issue with the RH sensor becoming disabled in extreme conditions.

Option to choose the ambient temperature source (RH or IR sensor). SMB2 protocol fix for a Windows 10 update issue.

Rain value logic changed from "greater than" to "greater than or equal". Mostly made version 1.8 official.

Improved humidity calculation using real sensor temperature. USB drive contents accessible over the network. Fixed a Celsius/Fahrenheit cancel-button bug. Small diagnostics file generation. Fixed a missing Lua file in the installer.

Ambient temperature offset extended to the RH sensor. Wind graph visible even with no wind. Support added for the new Model 2 anemometer. Adjustable graph location.

Full support for the new relative humidity sensor, plus other improvements.

New file format for systems using a comma as decimal separator (for ScopeDome). OpenDNS set as default. Fixed a filesystem date bug.

Imperial/metric unit selection. USB data logger option. Direct ScopeDome support. Wind gust readings. Ambient temperature and IR offset settings. Documentation overhaul.

Improved single-line data files, plus other minor improvements.

Clearer safe/unsafe display. Fixed single-line data file timestamps and graph generation bugs. Added fixed IP, DNS, and version-rollback configuration options. Experimental push support via PushBullet.

Small fixes to sensor readings in the first moments after connecting.
