FIRMWARE UPDATE: now sends update progress to Portal. Fix bug if update was already in progress and a new one was triggered.
SETUP MODE: device will stay in setup mode after rebooting to apply new settings.
BUFFER: fix an issue with buffered/batched messages not sending to Portal if device did not remain awake long enough.
DIAGNOSTICS: add an internal water sense reading to diagnostics page. This is aimed to be an early warning to detect moisture inside the enclosure. (Rev 5+ hardware only)
SCRIPT: add SQ.modbus_read() helper function.
SCRIPT: add GPS.fix() function to fix the GPS location to given co-ordinates.
SCRIPT: add SERIAL.IMMEDIATE flag as an optional parameter of SERIAL.write() to write immediately.
SCRIPT: allow SQ.dispatch() to be used anytime, not just from data handler.
GPS: add a watchdog to reset GPS module if GPS data is not received after a period of time.
MODBUS: add 64 bit modbus read types.
MODBUS: process modbus messages as they arrive rather than waiting for the timeout period.
MODBUS: add a frame delay setting to specify the delay between successive slave reads. [External –> Serial 1 –> Modbus RTU –> Delay Between Reads]
SERIAL: add a setting to hold IO1 measurement state if there is a serial/modbus device powered from IO1. [External –> Serial 1 –> Powered by Output 1]
POWER: add a setting to allow disconnection of power input during sleep or hibernate when the internal battery is charged. [General –> Power Input –> Disconnect Power During Sleep]
BLUETOOTH: ability to set network settings in Setup Mode using the Senquip Connect app v2+
BLUETOOTH: ability to send common data types to be displayed on the Senquip Connect app. See scripting guide for more info.
HTTP POST: reduce time and memory resources required for each HTTP Post request. Add a scripting function HTTP.post_active_count() to get the number of active connections.
SFW003-3.7.3 [LATEST]¶
Release Date: 2023/11/27
Supported devices: QUAD-C2-G, QUAD-C2-H
Changes:
PASSWORD: Fix issue where the filesystem could become corrupted after changing the password using the device’s local webserver.

Release Date: 2023/08/21
Supported devices: QUAD-C2-G, QUAD-C2-H
Changes:
NETWORK: Increase the wait time when messages are transmitted before sleeping. On LTE networks with poor signal it can take up to 40 seconds for a message to be acknowledged by the server.
SFW003-3.7.0¶
Release Date: 2023/08/14
Supported devices: QUAD-C2-G, QUAD-C2-H
Changes:
HIBERNATE: critical bug fixes for hibernate mode.
WEB: update device’s local web settings page.
