v1.1.0-beta.8

v1.1.0-beta.7 has the following updates:

• New command to navigate to the alarm screen or any of the dashboards, values for dashboards start with 1, alarm screen is 0.

-- Sensors have been added to the main screen and there is now support for a list of sensors. Sensors now also have to additional features, they can block the alarm mode being set if a sensor marked as required to set the alarm is active (open door) and they can trigger a notification sound if the sensor becomes active (think door chime).

-- Parity with the Alarmo Home Assistant integration. We now support most of Alarmo events so users that use Alarmo with Alarm Panel to have the added functionality that Alarmo supports such as remote codes, night mode and custom bypass mode. We support error and state events which helps us display countdown animations when arming the alarm or error's when the code is invalid. This behavior can also be supported without Alarmo, but requires additional automations and work on your part to add the server-side behavior.

-- Multiple dashboard support. Now instead of loading a single dashboard, the application can load multiple dashboards. This is convenient for users who want one dashboard for different controls in the house. You can add a dashboard for lights, another for just climate control, one for cameras, etc. In the future we will allow users to remotely switch to any dashboard using MQTT commands.

This release is not going to the Google store until it has been tested. You can also install the APK by downloading and clicking in the file. You will need permissions to install from unknown sources to install the application.

v1.0.2-beta.0

v1.0.2-beta.0 has the following fixes:

Updated the MQTT library to address crash issue on older Android devices:

• Fix for panic button not broadcasting message over MQTT
• Fix for duplicate values in weather forecast

This release makes some notable changes. We have replaced the Imgur screensaver with Unsplash which simplifies things.

-- We have added support for sensors. This features allows you to track the status of door, window, motion, or any sensor on the main screen.
-- We have added support for night mode without using the sun feature (but sun still works).
-- We have added support for sending the code to arm or disarm the alarm to the service (instructions coming for setting up your MQTT automations to handle this).
-- You can now require the code to arm disarm the alarm, this is a separate feature than that used to enter the settings.
-- Send code and command for remote code disarm and arm in json payload, requires you to configure automation in your platform to receive and verify the code.
