Change Logs

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.

Alarm Templates

• Template creation is now more streamlined, providing directions to every step along with a progress bar that marks the completion progress of the template.
• Templates page to now display how many channels each template is applied to. Selecting an alarm template will now allow a user to edit or see an overview of the template.
• Choosing to edit an Alarm Template’s Name, Conditions, Notification, or Channels will now redirect the user to an edit page that provides information and directions on how to complete the step.
• A contact may now be created while in the process of creating a new notification policy.

While functionality is the same, we’ve cleaned up the terminology used throughout the site for increased clarity and consistency.

Alarms

• The UI for the alarms on a device’s alarm page have been updated to more clearly indicate which alarms are applied, how they behave, and when they are triggered.
• The UI for creating an alarm has been updated to match that of alarm templates, but is functionally the same.
• A contact may now be created while in the process of creating a new notification policy.
• Added the ability to call or text numbers in Poland.

As with the alarm templates, while functionality is the same, we’ve cleaned up the terminology used throughout the site for increased clarity and consistency.
