Release Notes - v1.1.1

Power Management Improvements

Dual Wake Lock System

  • Separated wake lock functionality into two distinct locks for better power efficiency:
    • CPU Wake Lock (PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK): Keeps CPU running for background services (MQTT, sensors, camera). Held continuously while service is active.
    • Screen Wake Lock (FULL_WAKE_LOCK): Temporarily wakes screen only during explicit wake commands. Released automatically after timeout.
  • Previous implementation used a single 3-second timed FULL_WAKE_LOCK for all operations, causing unnecessary screen wake-ups
  • New approach reduces battery drain by only waking the screen when explicitly needed via MQTT/HTTP wake commands

Technical Details:

  • CPU wake lock acquired indefinitely (no timeout) during service lifecycle
  • Screen wake lock acquired with specified timeout only for wake commands
  • Proper cleanup ensures locks are released when service stops or the wake period expires
  • Fixes race conditions where the wake lock was released too early

Stability Fixes

SSL Dialogue Crash Prevention

  • Fixed UninitializedPropertyAccessException when SSL certificate errors occur before dependency injection completes
  • Added ::dialogUtils.isInitialized check to safely verify if DialogUtils has been injected by Dagger
  • Prevents app crashes on early SSL errors during startup or network transitions
  • If the dialogue utility isn't ready, SSL errors proceed automatically (matching existing fallback behaviour)

Documentation Updates

MQTT Configuration Clarification

  • Updated base topic documentation from wallpanel/mywallpanel to wallpanel/mywallpanel/ (trailing slash)
  • Ensures consistency with the actual topic structure used in the application
  • Minor whitespace cleanup in sensor configuration examples

Impact

  • Battery Life: Reduced unnecessary screen wake-ups improves battery performance
  • Stability: Eliminates crash scenario during SSL certificate validation
  • Background Services: MQTT, sensors, and camera operations remain responsive without keeping the screen on
