Version 2.5: Weather Data, Live Tracking Maps, and PDF Reports

August 25, 2026

This release brings live weather into your dashboards, adds real-time GPS tracking maps and richer chart types, lets you export dashboards as polished PDF reports, and makes data ingestion far more flexible and resilient.

Integrations & Data Ingestion

Connect more sources, ingest data more flexibly, and see exactly what is coming in.

NEW Weather Integration: Pull live weather data as a first-class integration, backed by a licensed commercial weather API for dependable, ongoing pulls.
Flexible MQTT Topics: MQTT endpoints now accept the standard NEQTO topic structure plus supported vendor-native formats. Topic templates extract device identity while broker credentials keep each message tied to the correct endpoint.
Real-Time Ingestion Feedback: Data source and device pages now report incoming payloads as they arrive, showing whether each was accepted or rejected.
Clearer Integration Health: Test Connection now distinguishes rejected credentials, endpoints that accept invalid credentials, and checks that could not be completed. Disabled integrations also show why they were deactivated.

Visualizations & Dashboards

New widgets, new chart types, and finer control over how everything looks.

NEW Tracking Map: Plot GPS-reporting devices live on Google Maps (roadmap, satellite, hybrid, or terrain). Draw each device’s trajectory as a plain trail, dots, a time fade, or a speed heatmap, with per-device speed and heading readouts.
NEW Dashboard PDF Reports: Export selected dashboard widgets as a portrait or landscape PDF, with summary or detailed sections, report metadata, charts, statistics, and tables.
NEW Device List Widget: A dashboard widget that lists your devices, with application-scoped access control on every read.
NEW Alert List Widget: A dashboard widget that summarizes alert activity at a glance.
NEW Fan Chart: Client-side forecasting with confidence bands, so you can visualize likely future ranges.
NEW Distribution Chart: Box and violin-style distribution modes for understanding the spread of your data.
NEW Related Dashboards: Device and Device System screens can now find every dashboard that uses the selected device or system, show device and widget counts, optionally include child systems, and open the matching dashboard directly.
Eight Gauge Styles: The Gauge widget now ships in eight forms (classic, progress, numbered, full, speedometer, segmented, linear, and tank), so a tank or linear bar can stand in for a dial where that reads better.
Advanced Calculations for XY Charts: Each axis can now use its own equation and live preview, bringing XY Charts in line with the calculation editor on other chart widgets.
Improved XY Chart Editing: Adjust data points and date ranges without leaving the enlarged view, and preview representative paired X/Y data before selecting a device.
Chart Legend & Axis Refinements: Legend names and ordering now follow your configured data points, full source names appear on hover, and XY Charts drop unused axis padding when labels are blank.

Alerts

Alert on the values you actually care about, and push events where they need to go.

NEW Calculated-Value Alerts: Define alert thresholds against calculated values, see them recorded in evaluation history, and preview formulas from a single reading while you author them.
NEW Alert Payload Push: Push alert events to configured endpoints end-to-end, with per-endpoint throttling. A throttle set to zero is now treated as “no throttle” rather than blocking all pushes.
Scoped Bulk Deletion: Deleting alert events by date range is now scoped to the active alert filter, so bulk deletion can’t reach past what’s on screen.

Devices & Organization

Organize larger fleets and see status change in real time.

NEW Device Systems (v1): Build a practical digital twin of a machine, room, building, or site by grouping its devices and related dashboards into named systems. The visual system map mirrors how those assets connect in the real world, giving teams one place to navigate the equipment and its live data through the web app and API.
Live Device-Status Updates: Online and offline changes now appear in the interface without a page reload.

Reliability & Fixes

Ask AI & Tags: Ask AI can find, update, and delete JSON or array-valued tags even when whitespace or property order differs, and it distinguishes a missing tag from a mismatched value or type. Alert thresholds sourced from tags stay tied to the correct tag when several share a key.
Smarter Device Connections: Get devices online faster with improved recognition and normalization of more MQTT topics and payload formats, plus clearer live status messages that show whether data is flowing and what needs attention.
Map Chart: Pin controls and information panels remain usable after zooming, panning, or resizing.
Faster First Load: Applications created through the Start Wizard, and device connectivity icons, now update immediately without a page refresh.

Security & Reliability

Various security and performance hardening across the platform.

Session Continuity: Token rotation now replaces only the token being rotated, and temporary refresh failures preserve your local session, preventing cascade logouts and repeated login redirects.
Application-Scope Enforcement: Device operations and connectivity-alert routes now verify that the target device belongs to the active application, and out-of-scope devices appear as not found.
Private Conflict Responses: Duplicate external-ID conflicts no longer expose the name of a device outside your active application, and conflicts involving disabled devices return a controlled response instead of an error.

Version 2.4: Integrations, Custom Widget Calculations, and Typed Tags

July 15, 2026

This release opens neqto.ai to your external systems, puts a full calculation engine directly inside your widgets, and gives your tags real data types you can reuse across dashboards and alerts, plus a smarter, cleaner dashboard experience.

Integrations: Bring In Data From External Systems

You can now pull data from the services you already use, without building a custom pipeline.

Integrations: Connect an external service, pull a sample, and let AI propose the field mapping for you. Confirm it, and a device is created automatically.
Guided 4-Step Wizard: A four-screen creation wizard walks you through setup from connection to confirmation.
Secure Authentication: Connections authenticate securely on your behalf using established OAuth standards.
Scheduled or On-Demand Pulls: Bring data in on a recurring schedule, or trigger a “pull now” whenever you need it.

Tags: Now With Real Data Types

Tags graduate from simple labels into typed, reusable values you can reference throughout the platform.

Typed Tags: Tags can now hold a real data type (text, number, whole number, true/false, list, or structured value), with editing that understands each type.
Tag Tokens in Widgets & Alerts: Drop tag values straight into widget labels and alert threshold values using simple {{tag.key}} tokens, with type checking on thresholds.
AI-Managed Tags: Ask AI to read, create, edit, or delete tags for you, each with an inline confirmation step.
Bulk Tag Creation: Create tags in bulk from pasted text or a CSV.

Visualizations & Dashboards<

More power over how you calculate and display data, with a cleaner widget experience throughout.

Advanced Widget Calculation Engine: Build your own calculations and transform on-device attribute data, right inside the widget. A rich editor with a toolbar, templates, and variables makes it easy to express the formula you need, and results render live.
XY / Scatter-Plot Charts: A new chart type for showing how one attribute relates to another (X vs Y), with custom legend names, axis-label controls, and a settings layout that matches the standard chart editor.
Widget UX Polish: Controls now appear on hover and tuck away when you’re not using them, with a clearer drag handle and a new expand/zoom button. Widget descriptions sit under each title, and doc links are built into the editor and image-map modals.
Ask AI About This Widget: A new button opens the AI chat pre-filled with a widget-aware prompt.
Custom Number Formatting: Control decimal places on Gauge, Label, and Table widgets, with round-up, round-down, or no-rounding options.
Custom Chart Labels: Set your own labels on chart widgets.

Devices & Data Ingestion

Broader hardware coverage and a smoother device-management flow.

Expanded EnOcean Support: More EnOcean Equipment Profiles (EEPs) are supported, including RPS devices that have no teach-in step. Profile selection is easier, and monthly transmission-count reporting has been refined.
Auto-Refreshing Tables: Device and Endpoint tables now refresh automatically after the Add wizard completes.

Reliability & Fixes

Accurate CSV Exports: Exports now match the displayed time range exactly (previously off by one hour), with expanded exports matching the painted range and filename time.
Clean CSV Encoding: Downloaded CSV files no longer show garbled characters.
Account-Scoped Attribute Editing: Non-owner users can now edit attribute display names and units.
Safer Data Push Preview: The Data Push editor preview no longer risks firing real device pushes; it is now inert.
Real-Time Push at Scale: Resolved the “No active clients” error so WebSocket push stays reliable under multi-instance scaling.
Clearer Rate-Limit Feedback: The notification now shows the remaining seconds with clearer wording.
Smarter Wizard Defaults: The Add-application wizard now defaults to Smart Environment with all options enabled.
Widget & Chart Fixes: Fixed a widget error on save, chart max-points behavior on the X-axis, and broken text resizing when zoomed on Single-Status and Label widgets.

Security Hardening

Prompt-Injection Guardrail: Added protection against prompt-injection attempts in AI-assisted content.
Resilient Data Push: Automatic deactivation on permanent failures, rejection of unsafe wildcard publish topics, and safeguards against oversized or malformed payloads.

Version 2.3: Introducing Data Push, Widget Math, and Smarter AI Analytics

June 23, 2026

This update brings powerful new capabilities to our AI analytics, gives you more control over
your dashboards, and introduces highly requested flexibility to your alerting workflows.

AI Chatbot & Analytics Upgrades

Our “Ask AI” assistant and analytics engine just got a lot smarter, shifting
from purely descriptive text to active problem-solving.

In-Chat Calculations: You can now ask the AI chatbot for derived insights in
plain language (e.g., “What was our average efficiency last week?”) and receive the
computed math results directly inline.
Custom Attribute Relationships: Define mathematical equations and
relationships between different attributes to power advanced analysis and create custom chart
values. Create widget calculations by combining numeric data points with arithmetic operators.
Smarter Time & Date Handling: Chatbot responses now include explicit dates
and localized relative times.

Devices, Endpoints & Data Ingestion

Managing large fleets of hardware is now simpler and more secure.

NEW FEATURE — Data Push: sends an arbitrary payload in real time from the
neqto.ai server to a connected Device Endpoint. It can be used to deliver commands or data to a
device on demand. It is available only for endpoints using the MQTT or
WebSocket protocol (HTTP/HTTPS endpoints cannot receive a push).
Expanded Hardware Support: Enjoy broader EnOcean Equipment Profile (EEP)
compatibility for a wider range of device types, alongside MQTT worker stability improvements
for smoother data ingestion.

Visualizations & Dashboards

We’ve added more granular control over how you visualize your data, while cleaning up edge-case
display bugs.

Status Widget Updates: Enjoy expanded configuration options for gauge
visualizations. We’ve also introduced new single-status and multi-status display options,
including Pie and Doughnut chart types to make device states easier to read at a glance.
Map Widget Enhancements: Map data now converts to widgets more reliably. Map
pins are dynamically color-coded by alert severity.
Widget Calculations: Device data widgets can now transform data based on
simple arithmetic between device attributes.
UI Polish: We fixed full-screen and zoom behaviors on dashboards, and long
text values in label charts will no longer overflow their containers.
Data Push Widgets: You can now add Data Push widgets straight to your
dashboards. Choose between a Form layout (for entering and sending arbitrary
data on the fly with optional pre-filled defaults) or a Button layout (a
one-tap interface to quickly trigger up to four pre-configured commands).

Powerful New Alerting Capabilities

This release kicks off Phase 1 of our Alert Improvements, giving you much tighter
control over how and when you are notified.

“None-Of” (NOR) Logic: You can now build advanced alerts that trigger only
when none of a specified set of conditions are met. This includes a quick “negate” toggle for
single conditions.
Alert Muting: Users can mute alert notifications globally, with
application-level exceptions.
Rich Alert Metadata: Add deep context to your alerts by attaching Application
names, Endpoints, Tags, and Custom Notes to notifications.
Independent Notifications & Live Feeds: You can now set independent
notification intervals specifically for anomaly and connectivity notifications, allowing you to
control how frequently you are alerted on these specific events.

Application Simulator Scoping

For teams using our simulator environment, we’ve moved away from a global view to a more
organized, isolated workspace.

Per-Application Access: The simulator is now securely scoped to each
individual application, accessible via a dedicated sidebar entry featuring a demo-endpoint
picker.
Custom Fields: You can now safely add, edit, and remove custom device fields
using typed inputs.

Documentation & Account Self-Service

Account Renaming: Account Administrators can now rename their accounts directly
in the console. This change automatically syncs with your billing profiles.
Refreshed User Guides: Our user documentation has been fully updated across
alerts, Ask AI, maps, devices, the simulator, Data Push, and widget calculations—complete with
fresh screenshots to match the new UI.

Version 1.26.2: Real-Time Precision & Smarter AI

February 21, 2026

Effective monitoring isn’t just about collecting data, it’s about getting the right information to the right person at the exact moment it matters. This update focuses on reducing noise, increasing speed, and giving you total control over your automated insights.

Alerts & Notifications: Faster, Quieter, and More Personal

We’ve overhauled our alerting engine to move away from “inbox clutter” and toward real-time operational awareness.

Total Control Over Alert Lifecycle

Manual Alert Unlock: No more waiting for timers to expire. Operators can now manually unlock alerts from the management panel the moment a situation is resolved.
Intelligent Throttling: For alerts without a specific unlock condition, we’ve extended the cooldown from 60 minutes to 24 hours. This ensures your team isn’t bombarded with duplicate notifications for the same persistent condition.
Zero-Lag Triggers: Timer-only alerts now evaluate and fire the instant conditions are met, bypassing the previous scheduled check cycles for immediate response.

Streamlined Delivery

Real-Time WebSockets: We’ve replaced slow “polling” with WebSockets. Your browser now receives alert events instantly, watch your history and analytics update in real-time without refreshing.
Targeted Email Selection: Stop “reply-all” fatigue. You can now specify exactly which users receive email notifications for a specific alert, ensuring only the relevant stakeholders are notified.
Human-Readable localized Emails: Our notification emails are now fully localized in English and Japanese, featuring clear formatting for sensor types and threshold values that anyone can understand.

AI Chatbot: Operational Awareness

Your AI assistant is now more stable and deeply integrated with your device history.

Alert-Aware Conversations: The chatbot now sees your recent alert events. When you ask, “Why did this device go offline?” the AI uses actual alert history rather than just raw data to give you a more accurate diagnosis.
Precision Control (Temperature): Tailor the AI’s personality to the task. Use Low Temperature for precise, deterministic answers during a crisis, or Higher Temperature for creative trend analysis and brainstorming.
Technical Accuracy: We’ve fixed a case-sensitivity bug, ensuring that string matches like “Open” or “Closed” are now handled correctly without being forced to lowercase.

Dashboards & Translation Gaps

We are continuing to refine the visual tools you use to monitor your fleet.

Custom Chart Ranges: You can now define the exact X-axis observation window for chart widgets, letting you focus on the specific timeframes that matter most to your KPIs.
Enhanced Table Widgets: Table charts now support customizable row and column labels, making complex data grids much easier to read.
Seamless Localization: We’ve closed translation gaps in our authentication and password reset flows, ensuring a 1:1 experience for our Japanese-speaking users.

Maintenance Note

We’ve also cleaned up the backend, enabling bulk alert history deletion and normalizing the data structures between the chatbot and manual forms to ensure your settings remain consistent across the platform.

Version 1.25.12: Reliability & Usability Refinements

December 25, 2025

Enhanced Data Accuracy

The “Zero” Fix: We resolved a display issue where Single Status Widgets would appear blank when a value was exactly 0. Your “zero” values will now render correctly, ensuring you have a true representation of your sensor data.
Flexible Widget Configuration: You can now clear or set the Duration Setting to an empty value on single widgets. This provides more flexibility when you want to remove specific time-constraints from your dashboard views.

Security & Access

Consistent Password Rules: We’ve synchronized our password validation across the entire platform. Whether you are signing up for the first time or updating your credentials, the frontend and backend now share the same clear, consistent requirements to eliminate “validation loops.”

Developer Tools: Flexible Data Retrieval

New UUID Endpoint: We’ve expanded our connection capabilities by adding support for the data/v1/uuid/* endpoint pattern.
- Why it matters: You can now retrieve data using a device’s UUID rather than just its ID, offering much greater flexibility when integrating neqto.ai with your existing devices.
