Features

Let's explore what's new:

• SBS-2491: SMS Action
  The new SMS Action allows you to send SMS over Twilio to multiple recipients 📲
• SBS-2519: Tags 🏷️
  Now, you have the ability to add tags to different models, enhancing your organization and workflow like never before.
  Tags are customizable labels that you can attach to your models, allowing you to categorize, filter, and find them with ease.
  Tags empower you to take control of your models in a whole new way.
  Happy Tagging! 🏷️✨
• SBS-2539: Retain Flag in MQTT Actions
  We have added support for the MQTT retain flag.
  When this flag is set, the broker stores the last retained message for the given topic.
  Clients that subscribe to a topic pattern that matches the topic of the retained message receive the retained message immediately after they subscribe.
• SBS-1539: Action Execution Source
  You can now see in the log data of the actions from where an action was executed. For example, whether the action was executed by an event or by a panel.
• SBS-2445: SNMP Action SET
  The SNMP action does now support SNMP SET as well as SNMP TRAP requests

Bugs

This should never happen again:

• SBS-2343: Fixed an issue where the length of ModbusTCP response messages was incorrectly parsed
• SBS-2467: Fixed an issue where the Empty operand could not be used with the MQTT trigger
• SBS-2476: Fixed an issue where a substitution placeholder was not replaced if there was no other placeholder in it. For example, {Source=3} was not replaced before, but {Source={CurrentValue}} was.
• SBS-2479: Fixed an issue where it was possible to delete actions that were used as startup or shutdown action
• SBS-2500: Fixed an issue where an action was not executed multiple times if it was used multiple times in the same event
• SBS-2523: Fixed an issue where an exception was thrown with no error message upon trying to configure peak meter component
• SBS-2566: Fixed an issue where a user who does not have the Apply Config permission could still see and click on the Reload Config option. This has only affected the display of the entry in the list. The permissions are checked again before execution.
• SBS-2573: Fixed an issue where the multi edit of the IP-Address or Hostname field of devices did not work

Panels

• SBS-2572: Fixed an issue where empty panel tabs have caused the panel initialization to fail
