Fixed issue resulting in inconsistent Kio Cloud offline/online statuses, managed firmware upgrades, and configuration updates of nearby BLE devices.

Fixed issue to allow diagnostics to consistently trigger Wi-Fi scanning even when the device is not connected to a network.

Resolved intermittent SSL reconnection issues in poor network conditions; addressing devices appearing offline for 15 minutes and intermittent disconnections from Kio Cloud.

Fixed issue of no Bluetooth connection resulting in errors; enhancing the reliability of configuration over BLE.

Ensure devices always follow DNS servers received from DHCP; no longer forces changes to DHCP servers if NTP is not reachable..

Added validation of EAP network requirements; prevents configuration changes with invalid settings.

Reduced data uplink interval; shortening the time it takes for data to be transmitted to Kio Cloud, leading to faster and more timely updates.

Implemented fixed retry intervals for outgoing Bluetooth connections; improved reliability of BLE device configuration and OTA updates.

Automatically migrates to old Wi-Fi configurations when settings are incorrect. If set to OPEN Wi-FI, the protocol is set to OPEN after a self-update OTA.

Changed the default EAP type value from 1 (TLS) to 0 (unset), requiring explicit specification of EAP type when configuring EAP authentication.

After a factory reset, updates the default API CA certificate to use new values.

Fixed issue related to EAP response times that caused failed connections.

Other general fixes.

Enhanced BLE configuration protocol; Over-the-Air (OTA) configuration updates are faster. This results in BLE devices consuming less battery power during the process.

Reduced bandwidth usage; implemented compressed BLE advertisement stream when sending data to Kio Cloud. This reduces the amount of data transmitted, saving bandwidth.

Fixed issue related to Over-the-Air (OTA) configuration and firmware updates.

Fixed issue related to configuring other devices.

Fixed issue related to operation after a power disconnection; implemented watchdog on device power-on timeout.

Other general bug fixes.

LED is now off during a reboot/restart.

Connectivity prioritization to Wi-Fi 5G channels.

When the primary and fallback SSID are the same, fallback password (PSK) can be rotated/changed without issues.

Portal Light 2 IR: resolved an Over-the-Air (OTA) issue.

LED status indicator brightness level.

Faster Bluetooth operations: Over-the-air (OTA) firmware uploads are now up to 27% faster.

Improved reliability: Better stability when writing large Bluetooth configuration files, such as EAP certificates.

Enhanced compatibility: Fixes issues when upgrading older beacon versions (for example, v2.2.7).

MQTT ready: This is the first firmware version for this model that supports MQTT connectivity.

Reduced data uplink interval; shortening the time it takes for data to be transmitted to Kio Cloud, leading to faster and more timely updates.

Fixed an issue causing interruptions in Bluetooth logging; improved stability and reliability.

Fixed intermittent issues with SSL reconnections in poor network conditions.

Fixed an issue when reconnecting to the main or fallback Wi-Fi network after a connection issue could unnecessarily trigger additional reconnections.

Fixed an issue when switching from fallback to main network when multiple networks with the same SSID were detected.

Fixed an issue where the API connection state was not updated correctly after a Wi-Fi reconnection.

Fixed an issue where an invalid EAP-TLS configuration could disable Wi-Fi instead of switching to the fallback network.

Corrected the handling of Wi-Fi settings to resolve issues with TTLS/PEAP EAP networks.

Reduced bandwidth usage; implemented compressed BLE advertisement stream when sending data to Kio Cloud. This reduces the amount of data transmitted, saving bandwidth.

New debugging mode; improved diagnostics from the Kio Setup Manager mobile app.

Added validation of EAP network requirements; prevents configuration changes with invalid settings.

Improved NTP error handling; max 20 seconds after Wi-Fi connection if NTP is not available.

New automatic internal error reporting.

Improved stability when using a proxy; enforced connections to prevent unauthorized redirection.

Improvements to Over-the-Air (OTA) reliability and connectivity with BLE devices.

Better Wi-Fi configuration handling. If a password is not provided, the connection will switch to the OPEN Wi-Fi protocol. If the main Wi-Fi network settings are invalid, it will automatically switch to the fallback network.

Fixed issue related to BLE detection issue with mobile apps.

Updated LED status indicator.

Supports Kio Cloud Device Management Managed Firmware Upgrades - schedule firmware upgrades for Portal Lights and BLE Infrastructure and Tag devices.
