Feature 2684516, 2684523, 2684525, 2684526, 2684617, 2684622: Advanced instance model

The main feature of the new version is the new advanced model. It offers support for: - Assets and aspects, attributes (variables), compositions (link in one place) and aggregations (link in multiple places) - Objects have a display name which can be localized - Relations to define connections between objects - Metadata and external references - Predefined units

It also includes a new API.

The old model is completely replaced by the new model. Its API will be supported for one more year but will then be removed (approx. Q4/2025).

Feature 2684516, 2684620: Model types support

Additionally to its features on the instance level, the new model also offers a type level.

Types can be created for each of the object concepts:

• Asset type
• Aspect type
• Attribute type
• Reference type
• Relation type

A base-type can be used to inherit from (creating a sub-type to the base-type). Using these types, instances can be created. If the type is altered, the instances are automatically updated.

Feature 2684624: Simplified IIH integration

After the update, IIH Essentials can work independently of other IIH components. This makes it easier to use and prevents error scenarios.

IIH Essentials can be installed and used with its own UI.
If needed, IIH Semantics and Common Configurator can be installed on top and used with the Common Configurator UI. A migration for this switch is not needed anymore.

Even after installing the full IIH, you can continue to use the IIH Essentials UI or even uninstall all other components and continue to work without any interruption.

Feature 2684626: Simplified Common Configurator integration

Define data and Store data are combined into manage data. Previously Define Data managed the model editing and mapping, while Store Data focused on viewing the stored data and synchronizing it.

The new combined UI will replace the two previous tabs and combine all these tasks. It is the exact same UI as the IIH Essentials UI, so the users only must learn to use one UI.

Feature 2433703: Improved UI and UX

Together with the new model, the UI was also vastly improved. It was optimized to work with big quantities of objects and will be improved further in future versions.

To handle large quantities, data is loaded via a paging mechanism and displayed via virtual scroll. The filtering is done on the server side so only required data is loaded.
Secondly, the UX was improved. It is possible to search/filter almost any list. Tables support multiselect and can execute bulk operations on the selection. For better overview, table columns can be resized, reordered and hidden. This is a persisted configuration.
To ease navigation, where possible links have been added to jump to the referenced object.

Feature 1754101: New theming with dark mode

Working with the light theme for a longer time can become stressful for the eyes.

To ensure constant comfortable operation of IIH Essentials, a dark mode has been added. It reduces the emitted brightness to a minimum while maintaining its contrast and readability.

Feature 2877474: Generic MQTT synchronization

MQTT has been added as a synchronization destination like the already existing Insights Hub and Senseye sync.

It is possible to synchronize time-series data to external MQTT brokers available within the network, E.g. to azure.

Because of the flexibility of MQTT it is possible to configure how the topic, payload and data point format should look like.

Feature 3610923: Write transformation results back to connector

Results of a transformation can be written to any connected writable tag.

This way it is possible to ingest data from any source and transform it. During the transformation tags from different sources can be combined and then written back to a tag.
