Release notes of platform release 5.6.16

Webhook filtering capabilities

Webhook scripts can now filter out outgoing webhook calls by returning null. When a webhook script returns null, the webhook is cancelled and marked with "FILTERED" status in the webhook results.

This allows conditional webhook processing based on data content. For example, scripts can filter location updates to only send STOP locations, or apply other conditional logic to determine when webhooks should be sent.

Sensor value smoothening

When sensors are configured with smoothening settings, the platform now displays the smoothened value as the "last value" instead of raw measurements. This reduces noise in sensor readings and provides more stable data for analytics.

Another improvement is that when a mapping to states is configured the mapping will happen on the smoothened value.

Improved tracker profile configuration with advanced options

Profile configuration options can now be marked as "advanced only." These options are hidden by default and only shown when users toggle advanced mode, simplifying the interface for basic users.

Alert rule visibility follows the platform plan

Alert rules are now filtered based on subscription plan. Alert rules requiring features not included in the current plan are automatically hidden from the interface. This eliminates confusion.

Enhanced diagnostic capabilities

The diagnostics system has been significantly improved with better categorization and new metrics:

  • Organized diagnostic information into clear categories (Connectivity, Battery, Localization)
  • Added new metrics for operator switches and cell tower changes on cellular devices
  • Improved liveness calculations that account for stop timeout and GPS fix time
  • Added receive delay filtering to identify transmission issues
  • Introduced table of contents navigation for easier access to diagnostic sections

Better duration filtering

Duration filters now support multiple time units (minutes, hours, days, years) instead of being limited to minutes only.

Map layer configuration improvements

Map layer configuration is now accessible directly from the map layers menu. The satellite/layers switcher has been repositioned for cleaner interface navigation.

Asset icon and image management improvements

Introduced a centralized system for managing asset icons and images across trackers and infrastructure devices. Users can now easily align asset images with asset icons through a new "Use the asset map icon" option, eliminating the need for separate icon and image management when they should be the same.

It is now also possible to configure asset icons and images with the mobile app.

Extra filter option on location history widget

A new receive delay filter has been added to the location history widget, enabling identification of messages that experienced transmission delays. Users can filter locations based on configurable delay thresholds (10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours) to quickly identify areas with transmission difficulties. The delay is calculated as the difference between network receive time and message generation time.
