RBgrid v1.1.4

A fix release on top of v1.1.3.

Fixed

  • Renaming a point could make it disappear after a restart on ESP32 chip revisions before v3. The point and its history then dropped out at the next restart. Point names are now saved safely. If you held off renaming points on v1.1.3, you can rename them again after updating.
  • Mains voltage and frequency now come only from a module that actually sees mains. Before, a module whose voltage inputs aren't wired (for example an STD-U3I3 used for currents only) could override them, and the frequency read about 45 Hz.

Improved

  • Adding a module: a configured module that isn't answering, and that no metering point depends on, is now shown as an empty slot. The app no longer stops on it.
  • Web app 1.1.4:
    • clearer texts for deleting a point, MQTT with no broker set, and history;
    • the empty-slot step when you add a module.
    • Its source is in webapp/, and the built app is attached as rbgrid-ui_v1.1.4.zip.

Full list: CHANGELOG.md. User guide: webapp/docs/user/.

Files

File What it is
main_release.bin Application image. Use it for an over-the-air update from the app (Settings → Hub firmware) or at 0x20000 for a USB flash.
bootloader.bin, partition-table.bin, ota_data_initial.bin The other three files for a USB flash of a blank hub.
rbgrid-ui_v1.1.4.zip The web app for the hub: kit/ + ui-manifest.json (built from webapp/ in this tag).
THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md Open-source packages bundled in the web app.

Update

  • Hubs on v1.1.x:
    • Update over the air from the app (Settings → Hub firmware) with main_release.bin. Wi-Fi, settings, points and history are kept.
    • Then install the new web app (below).
  • USB flash (ESP32, 16 MB):
python -m esptool --chip esp32 -p <PORT> -b 460800 write_flash --flash_mode dio --flash_size 16MB --flash_freq 40m \
  0x1000 bootloader.bin 0x10000 partition-table.bin 0x17000 ota_data_initial.bin 0x20000 main_release.bin
  • Flashing the four files as above keeps the hub's settings, Wi-Fi and history.
  • To start clean, run python -m esptool --chip esp32 -p <PORT> erase_flash first.
  • A clean (or new) hub starts its own Wi-Fi rbgrid-xxxx (setup password RBGRID123). Open http://192.168.4.1/, choose your home Wi-Fi and enter its password.

Install the web app on the hub

Unzip rbgrid-ui_v1.1.4.zip, then:

HUB=http://<hub-address>
cd kit
for f in $(find . -type f | sed 's|^\./||'); do
  curl -sf -X POST "$HUB/api/system/ui-upload?path=$f" -H 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' --data-binary "@$f" || { echo "upload failed: $f"; exit 1; }
done
curl -sf -X POST "$HUB/api/system/ui-commit" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary @../ui-manifest.json

If you have set an API token, add -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" to both calls. Then open http://<hub-address>/. You can also use the hosted app at https://webapp.rbgrid.io.

Validation

The images in this release were validated on hardware (ESP32-WROVER, 16 MB, chip revision v1.1):

  • over-the-air update from v1.1.3;
  • USB flash of all four files;
  • API contract 96/96;
  • point renames keeping the point across restarts;
  • mains frequency 50 Hz with a current-only three-phase module on the bus;
  • the web app on the hub (all screens).

A build from source produces a different SHA256 than these images: the build embeds its date and time. That's expected.
