RBgrid v1.1.3

RBgrid v1.1.3 is out. A small release on top of v1.1.2: the web app now opens at webapp.rbgrid.io with nothing to install, and the hub answers browser requests only from sites you allow.

Get it

  • Firmware: the v1.1.3 release has the image set for a fresh USB flash, each file with its SHA-256, and main_release.bin for an over-the-air update.
  • Web app: open webapp.rbgrid.io, or install rbgrid-ui_v1.1.3.zip from the same page onto the hub as described in Build & flash.
  • Already on v1.1.x? Update over the air from the app (Settings → Hub firmware) with main_release.bin; your Wi-Fi, settings and history are kept. If you use the app installed on the hub, install the new package afterwards.
  • All releases: github.com/robotdyn-dimmer/RBgrid/releases.

What's new

  • The web app at webapp.rbgrid.io. Open it on a computer on the same network as the hub, enter the hub's address and choose Connect. The browser asks once to allow access to devices on your local network; allow it. Your data goes straight from the browser to the hub, not through our servers. Checked in Chrome and Edge.
  • Browser access is an allow-list now. The hub answers browser requests only from its own pages and from the sites you list. Before, any website could use the hub from a visitor's browser.
    • The RBgrid app (https://webapp.rbgrid.io, https://demo.rbgrid.io) is always allowed and doesn't take a slot.
  • Add up to 8 of your own sites in Settings → Browser access (CORS). Allow any website brings back the old behaviour, and a hub already set that way keeps it.
  • Web app 1.1.3:
    • the browser-access panel shows the always-allowed sites separately from your own list;
  • if the page can't reach the hub, the app suggests allowing local-network access;
  • the setup wizard asks before its quick tariff replaces a fuller tariff plan.

Fixed

  • Economics: "Where the money goes" no longer shows energy as money; the standby share is now a share of the month's consumption.
  • Economics: the net-metering block is hidden while net metering is off; the progressive block shows only when the hub uses one.
  • App hints name the real Settings panels.
