Device firmware releases prior to 2024

Improved IR scheduling.

Improvement to Portal Beam thermal image quality for footfall detection.

Improved accuracy of Air Quality measurements. After a firmware update or power on, it may take up to 30 minutes to 2 hours for the Air Quality measurements to stabilize.

Enhancements to image modeling, processing, thresholds, and sensitivity - resulting in improved occupancy detection and accuracy.

New setting added for power-saving management. Portal Beam can be configured to measure occupancy at a pre-defined interval outside of working hours.

Occupancy parameter: sleepInterval - see API detail.

Improved time-keeping precision when in power-saving mode.

Fixed an issue that caused the temperature, humidity, and accelerometer to stop advertising after one minute.

Improved detection algorithms; (1) detecting warm and cold people, (2) traffic mode accuracy.

Improved resilience to sensor noise and temperature fluctuation.

Improved download image time via Kio Setup Manager app.

Improved reliability of internal timer.

Fixed issue where telemetry data was not being stored during a device restart.

Optimized IR receiver to reduce device energy consumption.

Introduction of footfall traffic (in/out) counting and relevant telemetry. Count based on the number of people entering and exiting a space.

Improved detection of occupancy counter.

Improved Air Quality Index measurement.

Improved the amount of time to complete firmware updates.

Devices based on nRF52: support renegotiation of speeds, MTUs, and data length extensions.

Enhancement to allow Telemetry to be enabled for at least 60 sec on button press; for usage with normally disabled frame.

Enhancement to Telemetry on button press: TLM frame is advertised every 100 ms for 10 sec.

Improved time synchronization between devices to be completed automatically.

General fixes to improve stability and reliability.

People detection frame: broadcasting the XY data of detected people.

Not counting battery usage when external DC power is connected.

Fixed issue that caused Portal Beam not to report occupancy when connected to external DC power.

Anchor Beacon 2 release, supporting fully implemented location frame.

Fix issue for Beacon Pro, Tag Beacon, Smart Beacon 3 that caused the time library to generate invalid times and the beacons would keep rebooting.

Enhancement to IR detection: after a missed detection, beacons immediately show “invalid room” instead of remembering the last one for 30 sec.

Fixed an issue related to power consumption.

Fixed an issue related to LED blinking.

Fixed time sync issue where the time from the device would have hours > 100.
