Also alert messages inside bOS app should be in a separate window, so they wont cover(overlap) the full screen. For example if there is an error with push query - then its impossible to use the app if it only spams errors.  Sometimes the admin needs to turn off the unit that has errors but again its hard when the events are actively updating. 

Also in the events windows, would be nice if there was a button "acknowledge" or something - as every new device that logs into same account has to scroll thru all the events to clear the red mark(new events active). 

Mark events as read button is needed also for new device(mobile or tablet) installs. Right now I have two options. Scroll thru few years of events or delete them all. I don't want to delete them, but clients keep asking how to clear that red dot on the events.

Addition to MinMaxAvg there could be possibility to pick biggest and smallest values from input values. For example I have 10 values and I would like to be able to pick 4 biggest values from the list.

bOS Configurator and Client needs search button and would be nice to organize projects according to use or alpabetically.

I have 350 modbus reading I need to send to email. Now it takes a lot of work to add these values. There could be a better solution. Importing the values and email body from excel for example.

I'm in the same boat. 
Right now im using a paid service to export the metering values to excel as none of our building managers know how to use text to columns feature in excel so they could use the info from email themselves. I'm not too worried about my manual work but export to excel would be a must have imo. 

My metering import is also a lot of manual work. But as every building is different the import excel file would still need to made custom.

Hello,

we'll see what we can do regarding these values for importation into our tasks.

Regarding your previous request for search and sorting, try updating to our latest beta version. Many quality of life improvements have been implemented in the beta (read the update notes). We'll also make a separate video explaining the main features that were added.

Best regards.

Hey,

Great to see new features.

I would like to have search/filter option for user logs too.

Happy holidays!

Hello Jurgen,

I'll put it in the pipeline as well so we'll add the filter here as well.

Best regards.

Another idea: Would it be possible to send a notification to email when bOS controller goes offline(Online/offline status is visible under the bOS controllers). We monitor our network devices but if the router itself is pinging it doesnt show us if the bOs service is down. Or what is the best method of monitoring the bOS service? 

Hello Jurgen,

currently this isn't possible, however it is a great idea. I've added it to our pipeline for integration.

We might add a check button for the controllers you wish to keep an eye on. Simply adding this function now without this option would mean if you have 100+ controllers and for some reason many of them are offline, you'd start getting a ton of email spam..

So we might add a check option for each server that you can tick and then get a notification if it goes offline.

Best regards.

It would be nice to modify values directly without opening multiple windows. For example, if we have \sensor1.value, and for another panel we need to use \sensor2.value. I understand that using the device tree ensures correct data without errors, but could it be validated if we change the values directly in the configurator field?

To add to this.
I would like to have Values and Function in the same window/tab:

So when we need to refresh values we dont need to click around between two tabs.

Hey

Another wish of mine. For Modbus connections. Where one main line is used. Would be great if there was an enable/disable for current slave address connection, so if it has communication error I could just turn it off so it wont slow down the servers requests for the functioning units. Some commands may even go missing if the server is dealing with dead devices on the line.

Here I have 4 units that are either disconnected or having some other troubles. If I want to turn off the reading of registers I need to do it manually for every register. One button to disable it until its fixed would save some clicking.

Hello Jurgen,

thank you for your suggestion/wish!

It will be adde to our pipeline for future releases.

As a workaround, instead of disabling the reading, you could create a new modbus driver, use the same connection settings, cut/paste just the working slaves and leave the rest in the disabled modbus driver. You might have more nodes at the end, but you'd say a lot of time :)

Best regards

This works if there are no logs I need to save. Cuting and pasting it will delete the logs. Or I have to save the logs separately.

Hello Jurgen,

indeed you're correct. For nodes with logs, this won't be an ideal workaround.

An internal ticket for slave disabling has been created.

Best regards.
