Firmware changelog

• 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.

Portal Beam

• 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.

All Beacons

• Improved reliability of internal timer.

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

Smart Badge & Asset Tag 2

• Optimized IR receiver to reduce device energy consumption.

Improvements

• Ability to filter BLE device scanning to only Kontakt.io devices MAC addresses.

• Change to LED status indicator: solid orange LED indicates Portal Light has a WiFi network connection, but is in an error state preventing normal operation. During this state, submit a request to our support team to identify the cause. Learn more about the Portal Light LED status indicators.

Fixes

• Corrected room number to reset after configuration update and after every scan.

• Fixed time sync timestamp after a configuration update.

• Fixed various power saving mode bugs.

• Fixed battery reset behavior.

Portal Beam

• 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.

All Beacons

• Improved the amount of time to complete firmware updates.

• Beacons 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 beacons to be completed automatically.

• General fixes to improve stability and reliability of beacons.

Portal Beam

• 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

• Anchor Beacon 2 release, supporting fully implemented location frame.

All Beacons

• 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.
