Changelog

v1.4.0 - 2022-01-24

• Updated to use the latest base package, which includes retry funtionallity for getStatus, this can avoid invalid 401 Unauthorized errors when polling to fast, or when sector alarm servers act up.
• UI has been updated to be able to assign number of retries, and the retry delay. Default values are 3 retries, with 3000ms delay. Use these until you avoid getting 401 Unauthorized errors (if getting them when you shouldn't).
• Code has always been an optional parameter, used for armin/disarming and locking. As sector alarm allows you to configure your system to arm without a code, a code is no longer required for arm, partialArm or annexArm.
• Configuration UI has been made looking a tad nicer with sections and new tips.
• Underlying security updates of packages.
