New in Lab of Things Beta 2 (Nov 5, 2013)

  • We resolved some connectivity issues with remote access, and the changes affect both the service side and hub side. Hubs running Beta 1 code are not compatible with the current services. Please get the latest source if you would like to enable remote access for your hubs.
  • We no longer ship a msi installer, but there is a zip file (Release.zip) which contains the build output for the latest release. Instructions on how to run platform are in the gettingstarted.txt in the zip file.
  • We now have a send mail service, which allows you to send emails through our cloud if your hub is on a network that doesn't allow SMTP to work.
  • Also for those who have requested the Z-Wave driver for LoT, we have a new version of the driver ready for you. Multi-sensor support has been added to the new driver, but to run it you'll need the latest release (Beta 2) of the platform.
