2026 Frontend Releases​

2.7.0 (09-Feb-2026)​

Minimum backend version required: 3.6.0

  • New features

    • User Management
      You can now manage users from the newly introduced Users section in the dashboard, accessible from the sidebar. This feature provides the following capabilities:

      • Create users: Add new users by entering their email address and assigning appropriate roles, including admin access if required.
      • Search users: Locate users using their username, user ID, or tags.
      • View user details: Access detailed information by selecting a username, including basic information, custom data, associated nodes, and tags.

    • Device and Service Parameter Control
      Managing device and service parameters is now more intuitive with a dedicated control interface in the dashboard. Read/Write permissions for params can be managed via Node Data Access service configuration in Deployment Settings.

      • Device and service cards: View devices and services in separate cards for easier navigation.
      • Parameter control screen: Click a card to access all associated parameters in one place.
      • Edit writable parameters: Modify supported parameters directly from the dashboard.
      • Bulk updates: Apply multiple changes at once using the Save All Changes option.

    • Node Subgroups Management

      • Nodes Page
        You can now organize nodes more efficiently by creating subgroups within node groups and adding nodes directly to them.

        • Add Nodes to Subgroups: Users can now add selected nodes to subgroups within a node group, enabling more granular organization without changing the existing workflow.
        • Manual Node Registration: Users can now assign nodes to a subgroup at the time of registration, improving organization right from the setup stage. Select a subgroup while registering a node instead of adding it only to the parent group.

      • Node Groups Page
        Users can now create subgroups while setting up node groups.

        • Create as subgroup: Select this option when creating a group to make it a subgroup instead of a top-level node group. Easily assign the subgroup under the appropriate parent group during creation.

    • Manage Read-Only CloudWatch Logs Access
      Superadmins can now grant or revoke read-only access to CloudWatch logs directly from the Advanced Controls section in the Deployment Settings page.

      • Grant access: Provide read-only CloudWatch logs access to a user by entering the IAM user's email address.

      • Direct access: The OTA job details page displays the firmware image URL with a download option when applicable.

    • Control Firmware Binary Access for Users
      For user-approval–based OTA jobs, users can now decide whether to grant firmware binary access to end users while starting the job. This can be useful when nodes cannot directly download the OTA Image and need the user to send them the binary/url.

      • Access control at job creation: Enable or restrict firmware binary access as needed.

    • Add Tags During Manual Node Registration
      Users can now add tags while manually registering a node, helping streamline organization from the moment a node is created.

      • Tag support at registration: Add multiple tags in key:value format directly within the registration flow.
      • CSV-based tags: Create tags using CSV column values, allowing unique per-node tags (Eg. serial_num, mac_addr, etc.)

    • Timeseries Tab Support for Object and Array Data
      The Timeseries tab on the Node Details page now supports Object and Array data types, ensuring more complete visibility of node data.

      • Expanded data support: View timeseries data for parameters with Object and Array types without issues.
