What has changed in the Compass Gateway software?

A Priva Compass consists of a Gateway and one or more Controllers.

All notable changes to Priva Compass Gateway will be documented in this article.

Compass Gateway

November 7, 2019:

Added support for the mute buzzer function in the Cloud Operator.
At the moment the mute buzzer button is not yet available in the cloud. It will be functioning if the Cloud Operator version with this function is released.

October 10, 2019:

New user interface! The Operator application has been updated to improve readability of texts, to improve navigation with 10+ zones and to integrate better with other Priva services on premise and in the Cloud.
New feature! Continuous operation of your business is key and therefore we we have introduced a feature that allows the installer to create backups of the Compass control settings and to restore them again. The main purpose for this feature is to be able to get your system running again as fast as possible. Click on this link for an article that explains how you can make a backup on your Priva Compass.
Some chart lines did not work and are now fixed in this update.
Some Operator table columns were shifted and are now fixed in this update.

June 17, 2019:

When you would start a gateway update, a progress bar is shown. The update unfortunately sometimes takes longer as the time for the progress bar to fill. This is fixed now by a revised progress bar duration.
When installing the Compass system or changing the I/O module line-up, you will need to click the Confirm button on the I/O connection tab in the Controller Setup application. In some scenario's this didn't work as it should. This is fixed now.
With Operator charts you are able to use the Quick Analysis feature where you are able to add chart lines of different controls. In some cases, it was not possible to delete the chart lines added by the Quick Analysis feature.
Since the introduction of multi controller support with Compass, zone indexes can be changed in the Controller Setup application. In some cases the CMX34 I/O module appeared to be missing in the I/O connection tab after changing a zone index. This issue is fixed.

May 20, 2019:

Compass can be applied with a whole range of different configurations. The Operator application aims for a tailored experience, while remaining adaptable. One specific tailored experience comes with configurations that only apply irrigation and water system management. This is called the Compass Irrigation Edition. Since the introduction of the multi controller support, the Compass irrigation edition was disabled. With this update, the Compass Irrigation Edition is enabled again. To re-activate this, just reconfigure the Compass by clicking the 'disconnect' and 'connect' option on the controllers in the Gateway Setup application.
Compass consists of 2 smart components; the gateway and the controllers. They continuously communicate in order to save historical data and to enable system management by the Operator and installation applications. The communication stability and performance has been improved.
Compass charts take into account the time zone where the Compass resides and from which time zone you operate. An issue has been fixed where charts sometimes did not used the time zones properly.
The Compass gateway enables connection to the Priva Cloud. The Cloud connection performance and stability is improved.

May 02, 2019:

Important update: The Compass gateways are shipped with pre-installed base software. There exists a batch of gateways where the pre-installed base software has an issue. With this issue the gateways would go to sleep after 3 hours. This issue is fixed now.

April 23, 2019:

The Compass gateway enables connection to the Priva Cloud. The Cloud connection performance and stability is improved.
The Compass controllers do not have an IP address during initial installation. The IP address can be set automatically by the gateway or manually. The automatically assigned IP address mechanism has been improved.
The Polish translations have been updated.
The gateway always needs to be updated during the installation procedure. The Gateway installer performance and stability has been improved.
Only for Compass 4S and 4X configuration. The Compass I/O solution is modular where you are able to change the I/O module line-up to fit your needs. Changing the I/O module line-up after configuring your I/O channels could result in losing your configured I/O channels. Now you will no longer lose them if you would insert I/O modules in between already installed I/O modules.
