This allows you to create surrogate BACnet objects, which bridge the sensors of your IoT device with BACnet or Modbus.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"927\" src=\"https:\/\/avelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/release-notes-mqtt-beetle-broker-1024x927.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/release-notes-mqtt-beetle-broker-1024x927.webp 1024w, https:\/\/avelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/release-notes-mqtt-beetle-broker-300x272.webp 300w, https:\/\/avelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/release-notes-mqtt-beetle-broker-768x695.webp 768w, https:\/\/avelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/release-notes-mqtt-beetle-broker-600x543.webp 600w, https:\/\/avelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/release-notes-mqtt-beetle-broker.webp 1465w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">S7 communication protocol (RFC 1006)<\/h3>\n\n<p>We\u2019ve added support for Siemens\u2019 S7 communication protocol. Set up your controllers, modules and objects in the user interface and use them as data points in Avelon Cloud by reconciling those objects. Reconciliation will push the configuration to the Beetle and allow it to act as a mediator between S7 controllers and Avelon Cloud.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shape editor and schematic faceplate<\/h3>\n\n<p>We\u2019ve added several improvements in the shape editor \u2013 most of which are related to the faceplate:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On each shape type, you can now configure whether the schematic faceplate should be opened when the shape is clicked on a schematic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Individual data point properties can be hidden from the compact view of the schematic faceplate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With a new action right, access to the faceplate can be limited to the compact view, so that only privileged users can switch to the extended view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shape groups can now be flagged as deprecated, which in turn will automatically flag all shape types inside the group as deprecated as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>These changes are described in detail in the <a href=\"https:\/\/avelon.cloud\/docs\/en\/schematic\/shape-editor\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">user manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>We\u2019ve also added a new action to the shape behavior that increments or decrements the current value of a data point property with a pre-defined offset. This allows you to implement simple increment and decrement buttons. See <a href=\"https:\/\/avelon.cloud\/docs\/en\/schematic\/shape-editor\/behavior\/action\/increment-data-point-property.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">user manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>We\u2019ve also added some settings on the Beetle user interface that you can use to tweak the connection to your OPC UA server.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Organize your support hours by project<\/h3>\n\n<p>Support hours that you purchase to request support can now be assigned to individual support groups, which lets you allocate them to specific projects or real estates within your client account.<\/p>\n\n<p>More information about managing your support hours can be found in the <a href=\"https:\/\/avelon.cloud\/docs\/en\/setting\/support.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">user manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avelon Connect: Support for Alcedo Inhouse and WAGO controllers<\/h3>\n\n<p>With <strong>Avelon Connect<\/strong>, it is now possible to connect to Alcedo Inhouse systems and WAGO controllers via VPN.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important announcements<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">License enforcement<\/h3>\n\n<p>With the upcoming version 7.36 of Avelon Cloud, the following license restrictions will be enforced:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Free use of the document management is now limited to 100 MB per client. For clients\u00a0with existing subscriptions, the free storage space increases to 1 GB. A <strong>Document Management<\/strong> license is required for additional storage space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When using the <strong>Avelon Meters<\/strong> app, the system will now check\u00a0that\u00a0a valid <strong>Avelon Meters<\/strong> license has been purchased.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>To purchase a license, please contact our <a href=\"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/contact\/\">sales team<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discontinuation of Avelon Share<\/h3>\n\n<p>The <strong>Avelon Share<\/strong>\u00a0application for Windows\u00a0will be discontinued in version 7.36. Users should uninstall the application and\u00a0use the document management on our regular web interface to access and manage their documents.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changes in the public API<\/h3>\n\n<p>Also note that we\u2019ve changed some endpoints in our public API.<br\/>Please update your existing integrations accordingly, as the old endpoints will be removed in a future version of Avelon Cloud.<\/p>\n\n<p>Affected features are<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>retrieving data via GraphQL over WebSockets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>acknowledging and closing tickets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>A list of all changes can be found in the section <strong>Deprecated<\/strong>\u00a0in our <a href=\"https:\/\/avelon.cloud\/swagger\/swagger-ui\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Public API documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bug fixes and improvements<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Document management now shows PDF documents within a thumbnail preview when they\u2019re displayed as tiles or when they\u2019re selected from the table view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On all Wisely devices you can now configure an offset to calibrate the temperature sensor. This feature is for compliance only. We don\u2019t encourage to set offsets, since the sensors are completely digital themselves. They are checked at the factory and thus are very accurate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logins via the public API are now logged as separate types in the logbook and can be filtered as such. This keeps the logbook well organized.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Support for MQTT brokers and S7-based controllers, numerous improvements to the Shape Editor, more granular management of support hours, changes to the Public API, and adjustments to the license verification process for document management and Avelon Meters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":867,"featured_media":3735,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[281,279],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-release-notes"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/867"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23876"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23876\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23999,"href":"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23876\/revisions\/23999"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avelon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
