Feature Implementation

  • Conditional sensor added to Single Door People Flow Sensor device page. After feedback on the Single Door People Flow Sensor, we have added a conditional sensor option when commissioning your device. This will confirm the presence of a person by using a PIR sensor or Door & Window sensor. Once confirmed the gateway will send the payload to your connections.

But in this particular instance, Google removed support for the method of authentication that the gateway used to connect to Google Cloud so it was necessary to change this.
  • When adding support for the Indoor Multisensor device with multiple EEPs for a single device. This addition affected the commands for Remote Management when removing a device from the gateway. The payload must now include the EEP of the device to complete the removal.

Pressac EnOcean Gateway 0.4.8.6 – April 2022

  • In order to implement the highly requested features of both additional and optional payload data, we needed to slightly alter the payload structure for all connections. More information regarding the new payload structure can be found in the file Pressac Gateway Example Sensor Data v0.1.json. We do hope you enjoy this new functionality.
    A list of the optional payload data can be found below: 
  • Timestamp
  • Device Name
  • Device ID
  • Device Type
  • Gateway Name
