XIMtroller

We are very confident this fixes the bug we introduced in the last update. We appreciate your patience while we worked to understand and fix the root cause of the issue.

You should be able to control secured lights reliably and consistently again. If the lights are not immediately responsive when you update the app, you need to reset your local ID one final time.

We fixed a critical bug that might have prevented you from controlling your lights.

If you are still having issues after installing this update, you should go to Settings > Preferences in the app and increment your Local Node ID Value.

This is in addition to the fixes made in our previous update:

We've included updates to packet definitions in an effort to combat lagginess. We think it should be a subtle, but noticeable improvement in the delay between sending a command and updating a light's status.

We've also fixed the TTL settings and connectivity issues on newer iOS devices. Using the latest firmware on your Xicato devices will now allow you to take advantage of these features.

=New Features=
-The most important feature in 1.5 is the capability to control individual channels on multi-channel devices with an iPhone. This works for both CCT and intensity channels and it is now possible to control the channels directly. This new feature can be accessed by first tapping a multi-channel light in the App and then tapping the green arrow below the light icon.
- Multi-channel lights currently supported consist of the following types:
• Master + 4 Dim – M4D
• Master + 2 Dim – M2D
• Intensity + CCT - 1K
• Intensity + CCT + Color (Hue/Sat) - KHS
- All multi-channel lights support existing single channel light control
- All multi-channel lights support scene recall control
- There is one additional multi-channel type – “XCVD” – that reports as 5 consecutive single channel devices

=Resolved Issues=
We have made numerous fixes and tweaks to the underlying BLE engine to improve discovery, lighting response, and overall App performance. One important issue we concentrated on was advertisement flood control; if sliders are moved too quickly, the lights will be flooded with advertisements causing them to become unresponsive. We devised a solution that allows for both responsive dimming and controls the rate at which advertisements are sent out.

=Known Limitations=
As with the previous versions of the App, it is not possible to create new networks and secure the lights. We are also aware of an issue where newer devices (iPhone 8 or later) may be unable to connect to some lights.

You can now make connections to unassigned and public lights in order to change their names, their device IDs, and their light configurations!

(At this time, you can’t connect to secured lights or move lights into secured networks.)

In addition, we've made a number of tweaks and fixes to keep things flowing as smoothly as possible.

We've made a number of fixes and improvements, including:
- Support for dark mode in iOS 13!
- Added the ability to set the local ID
- Imported all the networks from the legacy version of the app
- Improved group membership data collection
- Fixed some issues with device status on the device details screen
- Fixed the max lumens field on the device details screen
- Fixed the disappearing help button in iOS 13
- Fixed unassigned node ID formatting
- Fixed clipping issues when device zoom is used on some devices. (You'll know if this affected you)
- Updated how relayed node names are handled to prevent nodes from being labeled with the incorrect name
- Updated how the device list is sorted. It should be a little more consistent now.
- Other internal improvements to keep everything running smoothly

- Organizes lights by secure network
- Clearly identifies lights that do not have an assigned ID value
- Adds support for recalling scenes
- Adds support for naming groups
- Adds mesh TTL support
- and of course performance and stability updates.

The latest release of the Xicato XIMtroller App is intended to bring our app up to a more modern and usable standard, and it includes the following changes:
• A completely new, improved UI that's simpler to use and navigate
• Major re-tuning of our underlying BLE message processing engine so light detection and control is faster and more reliable
• Add support for detecting multi-channel lights
• Added context sensitive help screens
• Added support for our new secure network key generator
• Enhanced secure network selection and management

• Ability to see and control secured devices
• New groups screen provides more intuitive focus on groupings (including secured networks) of lights
• Additional information in Details screen
