END OF LIFE NOTICE

If you are still using the Johnson Controls MSEA Interface to control your zones, we will be discontinuing that interface after this year starting at v1.12+. Please start looking into converting your actions to BACnet soon. This interface is keeping our software at 32-bit instead of 64-bit since it relies on older software components and technology. It's been 5 years since we announced JCI's end of life of the JCI web services. Please see the original announcement.

Please email support@streamsidesolutions.com if you would like us to quote this conversion for you.

Upgrade Information

The release requires minimum .NET Framework v4.7.2 installed. (Previously 4.6.1 was required). Windows Server 2016 and lower will most likely need to install the update. We recommend installing .NET 4.8.

Version 1.6.1.13 - 07/16/2018 Critical Update

Release Notes - Events2HVAC Event Automation - Version 1.6.1.13

This is a hot fix for sites that are using the remote desktop client (not the server client) AND use the R25/25Live interface. When the remote client saves R25 Settings from the R25 Options window, it can clear out all of the event status settings defined (e.g. Confirmed, Sealed,etc) for filtering only confirmed events from R25/25Live.

Also, if you are using event type filtering in any event provider (e.g. excluding certain Event Types, Event Mtg Types, etc), this is a critical update.

The possible side effects of this are:

Re-sync after event query doesn't evaluate the correct state, but manual re-sync does.
Cancelled events in R25/25Live don't properly update existing entries in the local event cache (entries stay "Confirmed" instead of "Unknown").
Cancelled (or Unknown status) events in the event cache are getting evaluated as "Confirmed" events.
When retrieving events from R25/25Live, all event statuses (except cancelled events) are retrieved.

New in This Release (from v1.6.1.8)

Critical Updates

BACnet only users: If the E2H server receives a local TimeSynchronization service request from another BACnet device and the server time settings are set to “Adjust to daylight time automatically” and you are currently in daylight savings time, the E2H server time can be incorrectly adjusted an hour ahead. UtcTimeSynchonization requests are resolved correctly by the driver. Windows time synchronization will usually correct this issue, but it can still affect command scheduling depending on when this occurs. The BACnet time sync functionality is disabled completely in this version.

Improvements & Fixes

New Feature: BACnet local object visible for scheduler online status so that automatic failover to HVAC schedules can be performed on BACnet controllers.
New Feature: Allow multiple BACnet heartbeat targets to push heartbeats to controllers for schedule failover.
New Feature: Allow multiple JCI MSEA heartbeat targets to push heartbeats to controllers for schedule failover.
New Feature: Add a minimum stop gap time to equipment zones to prevent short cycling between last event stop and new event start.

Fix: Rebuild rooms doesn’t clear old rooms if local cache has events stored for the rooms.
Fix: Alert message screens don’t get properly removed in UI.
Fix: Schedule importer event provider doesn’t flag missing events as deleted in the event cache.
Fix: Don’t allow schedule importer users to select remote queries in event viewers.
Fix: Some exchange errors were getting masked as a different error.
Fix: P2000 request/response logging was not working.
Fix: Re-initialize command from client does not properly reinitialize device manager.
Fix: Changing a user subscription should prompt a restart of the service.
Fix: Support all BACnet exception schedule datatypes (for Tridium).
Fix: Misc bug fixes when testing SendExceptionSchedule actions.

New Features

ChMS (Church Management System) Event Provider

This version adds support for churches that use various ChMS systems to integrate HVAC and security using Events2HVAC. Supported systems include:

BACnet Schedule Push Action (Preview*)

Now you can push 24 hours of schedule data direct to a BACnet schedule object as exception schedules. This will allow the following benefits:

HVAC operators to see the day's schedules from their system
Controllers will have 24 hours of schedules to work from if network fails
HVAC logic like optimal start and stop can be utilized on the controlled equipment
HVAC operators can add exception schedules at a higher priority if they want to temporarily override Events2HVAC schedules

ALC Users Please Read: Automated Logic WebCtrl and BACnet Schedules

JCI MSEA Send Attendance Action

This new action will read either expected attendee count or calculated % occupancy based on expected attendees and room capacity and will send this value to an analog point. The HVAC system can use this data to change the loading of the HVAC control and/or room OA intake requirements based on expected occupancy.

Note: This currently only works with CollegeNet R25, Google Calendar, and ChMS Event Providers. Future support for other providers may be included later if that data is available in the event schedules.

Network Thermostat UP32/RP32 Support (Preview*)

Two new actions have been added the the NetX device interface to allow sending:

Timed event overrides
Occupied/Unoccupied Mode Control (Blue backlight models only)

*Preview features - These are new features that haven't been fully tested and/or addtional improvements may come in later releases. Feel free to try them out and let us know what you think.

Improvements & Fixes

Improvement: logged in user can now modify profile info and subscriptions
Fix: R25 Event Status Settings saves wrong selections (v1.4.0 only)
Fix: Unable import command center project file with NetworkThermostat NT-IXPB controllers.
Fix: Test XBus thermostat fails with "BAD COMMAND" NetworkThermostat NT-IXPB controllers.
Fix: Unhandled error message when Event List or Event Calendar menu items are click and you don't have any event providers activated.
Fix: (v1.4.0 version only) If you are using multiple instances of the same type of event provider (e.g. EMS #1, EMS #2) the instances created after the first one will have the wrong event provider ID for rooms and buildings.
Fix: Duplicate equipment items are created after editing equipment parameters when client logged in as "Operator" role

New Features

Standard and Professional Editions

In this version we have split our product into two different editions: Standard and Professional. All 1.3.x and earlier users and license holders will hold a Standard edition and functionality will be the same.

Professional edition will allow E2H to integrate to more than one type and/or instances of event providers at the same time in one instance of Events2HVAC server. Other new features will be rolled out later for this edition as well.

Support for Multiple Event Providers on Single Server

The Professional edition of Events2HVAC allows you to connect multiple types of reservation systems and multiple instances of the same type so you can have a single campus scheduling source to control your building automation system(s).

Large campuses typically have more than one scheduling system in use. Conference rooms may be using Exchange Room Resources to allow employees or students booking meetings via email while academic schedules are on an enterprise event management system. Other buildings may have different requirements so additional scheduling software or multiple instances of the same vendor might be utilized.

E2H can now manage the campus HVAC schedules from one or many scheduling sources.

Google Calendar Event Provider

If you use Google Apps for Work (Business, Non-Profit, Education) or you have a free (personal Google account) you can use the calendar to control Events2HVAC zones. Google Apps makes use of the built-in calendar room resources feature for booking spaces. Google personal calendar will all you to map additional calendars to each zone you want to control in E2H. Both options allow you to implement E2H to a very low cost alternative to automatic HVAC zone scheduling with a familiar, easy to use calendar interface.

Improvements & Fixes

Event Provider Manager

The event provider manager allows the user to manage and create one or multiple instances of any event provider for a single server instance. For Standard edition you can use the event provider manager to swap to different event providers without re-installing the software.

For Professional edition, create a new instance of any available event provider easily without reloading software. You can use as many instances that are allowed in your license.

Event Provider Schedule Updates Changes

All schedule data received from event providers during normal schedule update polling will be cached to the local database. This will allow the UI to have a faster response when dealing with calendar and event data from systems that have slow response times.

Event Provider Schedule Backup Data Previous versions keep 24 hours of scheduled actions (commands) in the command queue. This allows scheduled commands to still be sent even though you might lose the connection to the event provider. Starting at v1.4, Events2HVAC will retrieve 7 days of schedule data once a day. This data will be cached to the local database and updated any time remote schedule data is retrieved.

Now for each regular schedule poll period, if live (remote) schedule data fails, Events2HVAC will look in the cache to see if backup data exists and use it if needed.

System Requirement Changes

We are dropping support for the following software:

Windows XP, Windows Vista, Server 2003
SQL Server 2005
Proliphix NT Device Interface (Obsolete Product)

New requirements:

.NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher (4.6.1 recommended)

Known Issues

The following known issues found in this release are fixed in v1.4.1.x:

R25 Event Status Settings saves wrong selections (v1.4.0 only)
Unable import command center project file with NetworkThermostat NT-IXPB controllers.
Test XBus thermostat fails with "BAD COMMAND" NetworkThermostat NT-IXPB controllers.
Unhandled error message when Event List or Event Calendar menu items are click and you don't have any event providers activated.
If you are using multiple instances of the same type of event provider (e.g. EMS #1, EMS #2) the instances create after the first one will have the wrong event provider ID for rooms and buildings
Duplicate equipment items are created after editing equipment parameters when client logged in as "Operator" role
