TapHome

Version 2021.1

What's new in TapHome 2021.1: Device Logs, Device Errors, New Smart Rules, Stability and Value Conversions, Cloud API and Home Assistant and more.

Device Logs

Device Logs

Instant memory of recent changes on output devices Who, why, and when changed the device value

Device Errors

Device can now report specific error or warning with description.

Device Errors

Examples:

  • Overheated output detection on relay modules
  • Warning if relay output changes too frequently (which could reduce its lifespan)
  • Warning if module is overheated (measured inside microprocessor)
  • Overloaded output detection on LED / OC module
  • Low battery warning on ZigBee devices
  • Short circuit and disconnected sensor detection for analog inputs

New and Improved Smart Rules

🎉 New Smart Rule: Script

Improved formula Smart Rule with multiple calculations that are evaluated in the given order.

Use case example: counter resets at a specific time or event that saves the value of the previous period to a separate variable, while its value continuously increases during the current period

📅 Formula Smart Rule

Added option to evaluate not only after each change, but also at a specific event (e.g., every Sunday at 10:00)

💡 Button Dimming Smart Rule Improvements

Added more options for smooth dimming, ability to set minimum dimming value, ability to disable short press handling, which is practical when used in combination with lighting timer Smart Rule

🏡 Blind Control Using Up and Down Buttons

Improved behavior when used on multiple blinds

🧮 New Mathematical Expressions

POWER, MOD, ABS, CEIL, FLOOR, RAND, RANDINT, SIGN, SQRT, LOG, LN.

Stability and Transparency

Simple Value Conversions

Simple Value Conversions

Convert analog input or variable to a specific value type, e.g., CO2, wind speed, temperature, pressure, etc.

Conversion Example

Other improvements:

  • Port Manager - Internal table with used ports that warns if, for example, 2 services are linked on the same TCP / UDP port. This usually applies to packet parser, TCP / UDP integration protocol, SIP intercom.
  • All Locations - Added information if location is online or how long it has been offline.
  • Email notifications about possible control unit issues.
  • Daikin air conditioning interface - bug fixes.

Cloud API

Ability to use Siri shortcut, NFC tag, Android Tasker
