In this update, the big changes are in the notification system. The biggest change is the Display code and logic. The code has been completely rewritten, and works much better now.
Due to Bookworm adoption the Raspberry PI live webcam was broken. In this release this has been fixed. That is all.
This release is again for Docker users only. Somehow the Docker health check is working differently, and that was killing the container before the software could start. So the health check is changed, and should wait for a maximum of three minutes to startup before restarting the container when unhealthy.
And for the Bullseye Docker image, there was an OS package missing which made not to start up. This has also been fixed.
In this release we have changed the GPIO relay code. So if you use those relays, pay attention to the following.
The Docker builds where broken and should now be fixed again. That is all.
The previous release did improve the speed a lot with caching the total power and water usage. This saves a lot of CPU time with a big database.
When TerrariumPI is running for a couple or years, you will get a lot of relay data which it used for the total power and water usage. After 7 years, it took about 15 seconds each time it was calculated. Which is half the time of the engine run time.
Apparently there was a bug in the code for many, many years :disappointed:. The settle time value was calculated from the time the relay was toggled on. But when the relay on duration is higher than the settle time value, the settle time was useless.
This upgrade will add some more Telegram support and updates. We do support a new relay which is the TAPO P100. Updated documentation about upgrading TerrariumPI and some maintenance updates. Also we have tighten the encryption a bit.
The first release in 2024 is here. With this release we have added a new bluetooth controllable relay. This is the Voltcraft SEM6000. Which is pretty small and easy to use.
Futhermore there are some code fixes for Telegram and we have added a GUI build patch.
Important: In this update we have moved some 3rd party libraries to PIP libraries. Make sure you rerun the installer!
