THIS DWE FIRMWARE IS A REQUIRED UPDATE - FW version 2.0.1 includes a new digital certificate. This is a critical update to ensure that loggers continue to communicate with DicksonOne.

Additionally, this firmware includes a delay in the sensor configuration looping. This is a critical update to ensure that sensor tables do not contain incorrect disconnect and reconnect entries. Please update immediately.

Other enhancements include DWE compatibility with Oceasoft Smart-Sensors and Open/Close Sensors.

Description Impact Recommendation

Bugs

  • Resolved a bug where the logger used an old token to communicate and therefore failed to post data to DicksonOne
  • Resolved a bug where calibration dates had discrepancies
  • Resolved a bug where old unsent readings were associated with a new sensor serial number after sensors were swapped
  • Resolved a bug where configuration packets were being sent from DWE logger while on battery power (NO AC power connected)
  • Resolved a bug with RTC Synchronization related to Non-Sequential Reading Timestamps
  • Resolved a bug where SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN is too small for Amazon Certs issue resolved
Low impact No testing needed

Enhancements

  • DWE now sends sensor configuration packets before sending readings
  • Communications are now only allowed over HTTPS (no more option to turn SSL off)
  • A flag has been added to the API packets to identify the current sensor plugged into a data logger
  • x509 TLS certs have been refreshed
  • Rollback settings protection was added
  • Added a “pod_port” field to the readings packet in the API
  • Added SSID field in the main configuration file when DWE logger is communicating on Ethernet
  • Added exponential retries to DWE when DicksonOne is unavailable
  • Updated RTC Fallback Logic with every firmware release
  • Removed channel & BSSID-based scanning
  • Removed code from the firmware related to an old external battery pack no longer offered
Minor impact Check new functionality

Sensor Support

  • Introduced compatibility with Oceasoft PT100 Smart-Sensor
  • Introduced compatibility with Oceasoft Temperature and Humidity Smart-Sensor
  • Introduced compatibility with Oceasoft Co2 Triple Smart-Sensor
  • Introduced compatibility with Oceasoft Universal Smart-Sensor
  • Introduced compatibility with Open/Close Sensors (ROC & RTHMOC)

DWE2 Firmware version 1.3.0 introduces the Heat-Index support, optimizes power consumption, and enhances support of the OceaSoft Differential Pressure sensor.

Description Impact Recommendation
  • Added Heat-Index virtual channel
  • Optimized Open-Close sensor power consumption on battery
  • Added support for OceaSoft Differential Pressure Sensor in Pascals
Low impact No testing needed

FW version 1.2.0 focused on optimizing battery backup power consumption. Multiple bug fixes have been included in this version as well.

Description Impact Recommendation

Bugs

  • Resolved an issue where DWE2 received an invalid MAC during the initial ethernet connection.
  • Resolved a bug where logger lost serial number and token during operation.
  • Resolved a bug where logger lost MAC address after power cycling.
  • Resolved an issue where incorrect sensor model and serial number were sent after swapping to a single-channel sensor.
  • Resolved an issue where audible alerts were not triggering due to configuration packet value rounding.
  • Optimized battery backup power consumption.

THIS DWE2 FIRMWARE IS A REQUIRED UPDATE - This firmware includes one bug fix which addresses the sensor configuration looping. This is a critical and important update to ensure that sensor tables do not contain incorrect disconnect and reconnect entries. Please update immediately.

Description Impact Recommendation

Bugs

  • Implemented a 10-minute delay between disconnecting a sensor and sending an empty sensor packet to DicksonOne.
Low impact No testing needed
Description Impact Recommendation
  • Updated RTC fallback time to 1/8/2019 midnight GMT
  • Added functionality to update RTC fallback time to time of most recent message from D1
  • Fixed issue where replaceable sensors with different sensor types couldn’t properly replace one another.
  • Updated firmware will show new firmware version without need for reboot
  • Fixed issue where config packet was sent on battery power
No impact No testing needed
  • Added rounding functionality to ensure display readings match what is shown in the DicksonOne interface
Minor impact Check new functionality

Firmware version 1.9.8 is an identical release of 1.9.6 (since pulled from production servers) with the addition of the security certificate necessary to continue communicating beyond the phase out of a specific security certificate by Google.

Description Impact Recommendation

Security

  • Includes new SSL Certificate for continued communication between device and DicksonOne Servers.
No impact No testing needed

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where additional channel(s) was being created based on sensor type for RTMP sensors
  • Reduced the size of ping packets to reduce watch dog timeouts caused by the ping packet
  • Pairing/registration code is now the highest priority and will be displayed over all other messages (e.g. errors)
  • Fixed multiple bugs allowing for devices to be properly configured reset at factory
  • Fixed bug related to large numbers of sensors being connected over time
  • Removed legacy code/functionality where ping packets were being sent every 6 hours when device was on battery
  • Fixed issue with readings not being sent due to processing constraint
  • Fixed “No AC” error message to appear whenever the device runs on battery
No impact No testing needed

Improved Network Communication

  • ARP cache cleared automatically after 20 minutes to allow device to connect to new access points
  • Improved WiFi roaming to allow device to jump between different access points
No impact No testing needed

Configuration

  • Added support for reporting connection status to new Network Connection App
No impact No testing needed

Device Exports

  • Improved performance of USB file export; short button press now exports all data since last export and long press exports all data
Low impact No testing needed

This update is required for continued operation of your DWEs after October 12, 2018.

Description Impact Recommendation

This is the same as the pervious version (1.4.4) but has the new security certificates to address Google’s decision to distrust some existing certificates.

No impact No testing needed
Description Impact Recommendation

CRITICAL UPDATE

  • Adjusted packet intervals to use increased rate before registration and for 1 hour after being registered.

  • Fixed issue in wrapping functionality which can cause block chain errors.

  • Implemented patch routine to fix errors.

  • Fixed bug causing packet intervals to not update to slower rate correctly.

  • Fixed issue with readings having increased decimal places when sent to web.
