November 27, 2024 – New Azure scripts, improved search for sensors, simpler configuration of managed devices, and more. 

New feature

Device-based subscription

Domotz now offers a device-based subscription. You can now monitor and manage devices for $1.50 a device, with the ability to secure additional discounts based on volume and contract length. The per-device model is designed to improve the flexibility you need to scale fast and securely at a competitive price point. Customers on the device-based pricing model choose which devices they would like to manage and pay for.

This plan is automatically available for customers who signed up after October 30^th.

Existing customers will not be affected by this change. Existing customers who wish to transition to device-based pricing can reach out to sales@domotz.com 

Choose the devices you want to monitor and manage today, with the chance to add more later.

Spotlight on What Matters Most

With this release, we’ve listened to your feedback and introduced red badges which highlight the necessity of attention for a different type of reason. This change made it easier than ever to stay on top of your devices that need attention within the collector dashboard. Now, at a glance, you can quickly identify which tabs contain devices or elements requiring your attention, providing quick visibility into key statuses: 

• All Important Devices Online: Indicates when all devices marked as “Important” are operational. 
• Number of Important Devices Offline: Displays the count of offline “Important” devices. 
• Number of Security Issues: Highlights the total number of unresolved security issues. 
• Collector Alerts Disabled/Snoozed: Notifies you when alerts are intentionally disabled or snoozed. 

As shown in the screenshot below, red badges highlight particular situations, ensuring that you never miss an issue that needs immediate action. Simplified visibility, streamlined workflows—because your time matters.

Smoother Onboarding, Smarter Interactions

We’ve taken the onboarding experience to the next level for you in the device-based monitoring mode! Now, adding Monitored devices is a breeze—changes are automatically saved, so you are no longer required to click on the save button every time. 

Take advantage of this enhancement to focus on scaling your monitoring setup without interruptions or extra clicks. 

Plus, we’ve made the Save button more visible when transitioning from Location-based mode to Device-based mode, ensuring a seamless setup process. These enhancements mean less hassle, fewer steps, and more time to focus on what truly matters: effortlessly managing your infrastructure. 

Find the Perfect Sensor in Seconds

Now, navigating the monitoring dashboard is even easier. You can browse the full list of available sensors or quickly search for the one that fits your specific needs—saving you time and making your setup more efficient. 

We’ve made searching for sensors faster and more dynamic! With Domotz, you already have access to a wide range of sensors to monitor your devices and the metrics that truly matter to your business. 

Discover this improvement today and enjoy streamlined monitoring tailored to your business!
