Hi to all,
Freedomotic v5.3.0 is finally out!
It's completely new with many interesting features and improvements.
DEFAULT FRONTEND:
Now it is more user friendly.
Added a drag&drop environment editor: no need to edit the xml files by hand to define your enviroment.
The objects can now be created and positioned by drag&drop over the environment.
Added a zero-configuration synoptic: a static background image could be used instead of a full description of the environment topology. (For advanced and more detailed environment configuration the vectorial map is still available)
MARKETPLACE:
The plugins can be easy installable from a menu without the need of download them manually from the web browser.
CORE:
Added stomp and websockets connections.
Update the apache ActiveMQ to the last version.
Changed the way automations (scenarios) are defined, now is much easier and intutive thanks to the use of nearly natural language
and much more ....
