I've been working on a new big important feature: the ability to use custom GPIO pins for any purpose, such as connecting sensors or relays.
|
||
|
||
<!-- more -->
|
||
|
||
This release is technical preview (but stable ofc) so that you can try out the features that will then be introduced into production.
|
||
|
||
* In this release the GPIO API was added. Now you can configure any number of switches, leds and buttons connected to Pi-KVM and act with it using API: `#chat`. In one of the next releases, these switches will be available in the web interface and I will write the documentation.
|
||
|
||
* Added HTTP export handle for the [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) system to monitor the pi's and server's state: `/api/export/prometheus/metrics` with basic auth.
|
||
|
||
* Added support for HTTP header `Authorization: Basic ...` to support basic auth for Prometheus (and other monitoring systems).
