All updates
OctoMonitor
Version 0.0.907Release highlights
  • Browser and installed PWA updates now start with a banner, keep review over your current page, and offer five-minute reminders plus a cancellable countdown for compatible updates.
  • Menu and version information remain available during startup and recovery. Verified, authorised browser/PWA installations can open with a warning when earlier installation receipts are unavailable; genuine integrity and data-recovery faults remain protected.
  • Recovery now shows your installed version and can safely return to the app when no update is downloaded, with a separate verified Full Backup option.
  • Full Backup reminders now recognise active and verified backups more reliably, and resumed exports retain their saved verification details.
  • Deep analysis now starts enabled for manual database checks; you can still switch it off.
  • Reports now wait for saved report settings before generating, and startup gives clearer feedback while saved settings are being restored.
  • Google sign-in now retries temporary incomplete sign-in responses once and gives clearer guidance if sign-in cannot finish.
  • Error reviews now stay usable when diagnostic storage is unavailable, with retained evidence where possible, redaction of recognised credentials, and consistent Copy and Close controls.
  • Account and notification controls now fit narrow screens more comfortably, and sign-in session details can be collapsed while keeping the countdown visible.
  • Retry results now remain visible for devices with delayed telemetry, including requests that are blocked or fail.
  • If saved storage cannot be opened, OctoMonitor keeps loaded dashboards and history visible and shows recovery guidance instead of opening empty replacements.
  • History recording notices confirm recovery only after a new reading is saved, with safe retries and private incident reports.
  • Import reports show accurate processed totals, including mixed file batches, instead of a misleading zero.
  • Signed-out demo mode stays available after startup and Refresh App, and preview mode guidance fits narrow screens more reliably.
OctoMonitor
Version 0.0.900Release highlights
  • Device serials, account identifiers and contact details are now concealed until you choose to reveal them, and device links keep serials out of the address bar.
  • In supported browsers, you can now request protection against automatic removal of local history from Backup & Restore, with clear permission status and reminders to keep verified external backups.
  • You can now share a compatible text attachment containing the same verified backup bytes, with clearer retry, saved-file and manual-sharing guidance.
  • Storage and recovery notices now explain more of the cause and next steps, while failed notification dismissals remain available to retry safely.
  • Telemetry readings are now easier to read in light, dark and custom themes.
  • Smart Plug favourites now keep refresh, remove and disclosure controls readable and easier to use on narrow screens.
  • Reports now follow the selected report and devices more reliably when you navigate between report links.
OctoMonitor
Version 0.0.899Release highlights
  • Live Telemetry and Telemetry History now show supported device readings in one consistent list, with shared filters, notes and expandable reading details.
  • Telemetry History exports now include every matching reading, including STREAM and Smart Meter history, while keeping combined STREAM system totals distinct from individual devices.
  • You can now show or hide device-type labels with one saved setting shared by Live Telemetry and Telemetry History.
  • Backup reminders now preserve acknowledgement and snooze choices across tabs and windows without repeated refreshes.
