VERTEX 3 Modern

We recommend using the latest version of the software (the highest number of version).

Some versions are marked as HOTFIX - it means they contain an unplanned but important fix.

Welcome!

This section contains release notes from the 3.1.30 software version. For information about previous versions please go to (Classic) Vertex Release notes

3.1.33

May 28, 2024

New release of software has a backward compatibility to version 3.1.30. The main fix of this version allows for connection to Wi-Fi from Windows 11.

Features:

  • Added automatic change of default setting of the motion sensor (255 sec report timer), light sensor (60 sec report timer) and slider/rotary instance (deadtimer 0.5 sec) - happens after first scan of the device

  • New System Log details

  • Added logging DALI traffic into USB - function allowing to transfer data to USB and check system logs later on, great for troubleshooting and problem solving, used mostly by development teams

  • Publishing of information about general lighting errors in the MQTT API has been added

  • MUI: Change name of DAS switch in MUI to Double Address Solving

  • MUI: Added function - Emergency test trigger from MUI automatically generates a report after the test has finished

  • MUI: Added banner in multi-updater with warning displayed when we try to downgrade software.

  • MUI: Added turn on / turn off modbus action

  • MUI: Added new action on the cluster "Reboot all vertexes"

  • MUI: Added new design for emergency tests

  • MUI: Added Vertex topology to the system status (experimental graphical overview) 

  • Node RED: Added option to enable instances in the Dali 2 devs node

  • Node RED: Added support for RGB instances in block Dali 2 devs and DALI2 Devs Common 
    (the DALI2 button must support such mode and send values from 0-1023 or 1023-0)

  • Node RED: Added new action in Vertex Action node function: set direct value RGBWAF and XY on group

  • Node RED: Added scenes, levels and go to last level triggered in scenario node

  • Node RED: Scenario nodes merged, leaving only the MS+CP+LS node

Fixes:

  • Fixed Wi-Fi can't connect from Windows 11

  • Fixed an issue with generation reports from duration tests

  • Resolved issue with changing device name

  • MUI: Resolved issue with missing scroll bar in system status on Main Page

3.1.30

Jan 10, 2024

This update introduces significant enhancements to the user experience and robustness of the system.

🆕 New User Interface Application

We are proud to present a completely redesigned user interface application featuring:

  • A modernized commissioning approach.

  • Simplified processes for device identification, naming, grouping, and parameter configuration.

  • An intuitive workflow, making the setup process effortless and efficient.

  • A beta tester Control Devices tab.

🔧 NodeRed Integration

The inclusion of new nodes in NodeRed enables:

  • Acceleration of the commissioning process, minimizing time consumption.

  • Easy setup for most popular control scenarios such as:

    • Manual control

    • Motion detection

    • Daylight harvesting

  • These can now be implemented within a few simple steps.

⚙️ Bulk Firmware Updates

Update multiple devices with ease:

  • Capability to update multiple vertexes simultaneously from a single UI view.

  • Eliminates the need to switch between browser tabs, saving time and reducing hassle.

📡 Disabling the unused instances in DALI-2 devices

During first scanning of a device, the DALI-2 input devices will have disabled instances by default. This action will help to limit unnecessary traffic on DALI buses. The instances can be enabled using UI or NodeRED nodes.

🔄 Enhanced Cross-Vertex Communication

Improvements in cross-vertex communication ensure:

  • The system operates more robustly.

  • Enhancements are less visible but equally vital for overall performance.

Features:

  • New UI application for commissioning

  • VX Scenario nodes available for beta tests

    • MS + CP - for quick commissioning Motion Sensor combined with Control panels

    • MS + CP + LS - for quick setup motion detection and Daylight Harvesting functionality

  • Added functionality to Daylight Harvesting node, ability to set max/min output level

  • Update on multiple vertexes in cluster - available as BETA feature

  • Deleted unnecessary node-red blocks

  • Optimising DALI bus traffic by disabling unused instances during first device scan

  • Optimised internal vertex communication

Fixes:

  • Netconfig - resolved problems with grouping VX2 and VX3

  • Optimised amount of data sent to node-red in installations with lot of sensors
