Important Security update
This latest release includes an important security update to the way apikey’s are created and passwords are secured in emoncms. The key generation functions used have been updated to the newer cryptographically secure php functions. It is recommended to re-generate emoncms apikey’s and update passwords following this update.
A button to generate new write and read apikey has been added to the My Account section, beware that any devices posting to the account using the apikey will need updating with the latest apikey to continue to work.
To update the account password, hover over the password section and click on the edit icon that appears. Enter the old and new passwords and click save to update.
This security fix and recommendation to generate new apikeys and update passwords applies to both emonPi/base systems and emoncms.org
Serial Monitor
Emoncms now includes an in-built serial monitor feature, useful for configuring connected hardware, including setting calibration values, nodeid’s and debugging issues. The serial monitor can be found in the Admin sidebar:
