Smart Lighting
Learning Mode
Added learning mode to the lighting program. This mode learns the target quickly, then switches to stable mode once reached.
This results in reduced employee fatigue by spreading changes over a longer period, and is ideal for greenhouses where LED augments natural lighting.
Lighting Device
Added HLG BSpec to the list of supported devices.
| Manfuacturer | Model | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HLG | BSpec 600 | Light Panel |
| Thrive Agritech | Infinity 2.0â„¢ LED Light Bar | Light bar |
| VividGro | MAXâ„¢ LED Panels | Multi-row LED Panels |
| General | Switched On/Off | General purpose on/off light |
| General | Dimmable 0-10v | General purpose 0-10v dimmable |
PAR Sensor
Added Apogee SQ-500 to the list of validated sensors, and added default calibration.
| Manfuacturer | Model | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Apogee | SQ-500-SS | 0-40 mV Full Spectrum PAR |
Security & Stability Improvements
- Reduced alert & warning history entries to exclude redundant entries.

Kiosk Mode
Kiosk mode allows show/hide control of various header UI elements to support kiosk modes of operation.
To enable kiosk mode, add the ?kiosk parameter to the browser address before the # sign.
| Example | …/node-red/hmi/devices?kiosk |
|---|---|
| ?kiosk | Remove all kiosk mode UI elements |
| ?kiosk=menu | Show the navigation UI element only |
| ?kiosk=title | Show the site title element only |
| ?kiosk=health | Show the site health indicator |
| ?kiosk=add | Show the Add a Card UI element |
| ?kiosk=title,health | Any combination of the above to show the specified UI elements |
Zoom Mode
Zoom mode allows control of the pallette zoom level from the browser address bar. Useful for Kiosk mode.
To specify the zoom level, add the ?zoom={level} parameter to the address before the # sign.
| Example | …/node-red/hmi/devices?zoom=80 |
|---|---|
| ?zoom=80 | Set the zoom level to 80% - Level can be 1-100 |
Apogee SQ-500 PAR Sensor
The Apogee SQ-500 full spectrum PAR sensor was added to the lineup of supported sensors in the PAR Sensor device card.
This self-powered PAR sensor can be wired directly into the Opto22 controller, without an external power source and is their lowest price full spectrum sensor. Side-by-side readings next to the SQ-515 showed an amazing similarity within 1 PPFD PAR unit.

Security & Stability Improvements
-
Default recipes deleted from some recipe cards would re-appear upon subsequent system reboot.
This did not affect performance, but was confusing. -
As of this release, default recipes which are deleted remain deleted.
