IoT Hub

Features and Improvements

• Introduced several improvements surrounding BAS Agent to server communications. The BAS Agent statuses that are displayed more accurately display actions.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a previous known issue where network configuration was being cached on BAS Agent reassignment.
• Fixed a previous known issue where deletion of a BAS Agent would throw a server error.

Known Issues

• In the BAS Inventory, a snackbar message may display "Missing Inventory URL" after a network configuration change, if a BAS Inventory hasn't ever been retrieved or a new BAS Inventory is currently being retrieved.
  Workaround: To verify if an inventory is being retrieved, check the BAS Agent status. It should display "Inventory Scanning". The BAS Agent logs will also display an output if the BAS Inventory is currently scanning.
• While the Ping message does not display in the User Interface, the Ping is completing in the background and the connection status will still indicate whether the Agent is connected.
• For Bacnet Agents, after inventory scanning finishes, a reboot may be required for polling to continue.
