We've added the ability to livestream to clients using the portal, so you can say something to all clients of a community or have a workshop with specific clients in a community. This functionality can be used in the Community Portal by going to the Users page and either using the "Livestream to Community" button or selecting specific clients and use "Livestream to selected clients". This will start a livestream, you can choose if clients must accept the livestream or if the Genus should join the livestream automatically. Note: you can speak, show your camera and also your screen for clients, but you cannot see the clients nor hear them.

A new server architecture has been deployed. Where we first only had one server to handle everything, we now have multiple servers each with their own responsibility. We’ve made separate servers for alarming, handling sensor data / analysis, sending push and identity.

This should ensure platform stability and make it easier to scale in the future. The biggest advantage is that all sensor data (currently around 800K registrations a day) now go to a separate server relieving other critical parts of workload.

To improve alarm reliability, we have changed the way the Genus sends alarms. When the Genus can’t reach any servers to raise the alarm, it’ll retry every 15 seconds until it succeeds raising the alarm.
