Home center v2.4.0.7 is available.

This intermediate release contains some bug fixes and minor improvements.

Bug fixes

    Execute “Read changes” to resolve the missing modules.

  • iPhone app: empty outs on the iPhone caused by special characters that weren’t sent correctly to the iPhone.

Improvements

  • The login has been improved.
  • The auto-login didn’t work well if your PC gets an IP address through a DHCP server.
  • The vertical dimmer now also shows the % value
  • Opening the camera module has been improved
