Release Track: Beta
Version: 1.0.0-beta.4
Requires action: No

Nomad 1.0.0-beta.4 brings the edge experience onto the beta track. It is the same full system you have seen taking shape on edge, now settled and ready for wider testing: five dashboards, the Intelligence hub, selectable Home layouts, and the clearer choices you make when you buy and set up a system.

Summary​

This is the first beta of Nomad 1.0.0. It carries the full five-dashboard layout, the Intelligence dashboard, selectable Home layouts, backups, and clearer edition, tier and deployment choices, with a small naming refinement to the Intelligence dashboard.

Highlights​

  • Five dashboards, each built for one job. Habitation, Cab, Mobile, Intelligence and Settings, with a menu button top-left to move between them.
  • The Intelligence dashboard. Alarms, scenes, instincts, a filterable message log and, when your system knows where it is, a Schengen 90-in-180 day counter.
  • Selectable Home layouts. Choose how your Habitation Home screen is arranged, and pick which heaters and lights appear on it.
  • Clearer choices before you buy. Edition (Nomad or Helm), Tier (Base, Pro or Vision) and Deployment Type (Nomad Appliance, Enthusiast or DIY) are now spelled out.

What has changed​

Instincts​

The automatic background behaviours on the Intelligence dashboard are now called Instincts. They work exactly as before: each one can be turned on or off, and for each you choose whether it simply warns you with a quiet message in the log or raises a full alarm. Only the name on the tab has changed.

Everything from the edge baseline​

Beyond that refinement, this beta carries the full feature set that came together on edge:

  • Five dashboards for power and living space, the cab, a condensed phone view, intelligence, and settings, with the dashboards you see depending on how you sign in.
  • Intelligence, where alarms, scenes, instincts, the message log and the Schengen counter live, with a banner that reaches you on any screen when an alarm is raised.
  • Home layouts, so you can choose how your Habitation Home screen is arranged and which heaters and lights appear on it.
  • Backups, with a daily backup to the USB drive and an automatic snapshot taken just before every system update.
  • Clearer editions, tiers and deployment types, so it is plain what you get and how your system is set up.

Breaking changes​

None.
