This release contains these significant new features:
- OED now supports virtually any unit including site defined units. Users can graph in any unit and that can be different from what meters collect in. For example, OED supports energy units, power units, mass units, temperature, money and CO2. To support this feature there are new admin pages for conversions and units. As such, it is more than an energy dashboard and has become a resource dashboard.
- Information can now be normalized by area. As such, any graphic can show the data per square feet or square meters.
- Most admin pages have had their look completely redone so information shows up on cards and there are separate pop-ups for creating and editing items.
- Many of the underlying software packages used by OED have been updated for better features and continued security.
- Each meter knows the frequency at which readings are provided and uses this information to more intelligently choose the quality of data shown when graphing. This now means that OED can graph data in a nice way that is provided on long time scales, such as monthly.
- There are many UI (User Interface) updates across the OED pages.
- Many other issues were addressed.
Updating note
The significant upgrade of the database version requires special steps if you are upgrading/migrating from a previous release. The documentation covers the needed steps.
While this is currently listed as a draft, it should be ready for production use. It has been in testing for a while with some changes to the code. Thus, a final check is in progress and should be done soon.
