Release v2.0.0

🕸️ We use the latest Apollo GraphQL v4 stable for Kotlin Multiplatform

In this major release, we have migrated Account, Meters, Products, and Tariff APIs from RestAPI to GraphQL, using the Apollo Kotlin v4 stable version released less than 12 hours ago. In this version, we use both Ktor/RestAPI and Apollo/GraphQL.

Major changes:

• TariffsScreen: We now support checking available tariffs using postcodes and can display all tariff types.
• AccountScreen: We now support displaying each electricity meter's latest smart meter reading and the full contract history with all tariff types.

What's Changed

• README.md: add easter egg by @ryanw-mobile in #265
• (#260) Apollo GraphQL set up and getTariff() migration by @ryanw-mobile in #266
• README.md: add badges by @rwmobi in #268

Full Changelog: winRelease/v1.4.0...release/v2.0.0

Release v1.4.0

🗿 This version contains some minor bug-fixes.
Unless it does not work, this should be the last milestone release we use Ktor-Rest API in this project. After that, we will explore using GraphQL on Kotlin Multi-platform.

Improvements

• UI: Widgets on the Agile Screen and Usage Screen now have a maximum width.
• Agile Screen: The Y-axis of the chart is now scaled to show the referencing fixed and variable tariffs when their unit rates exceed the maximum Agile unit rates.
• Usage Screen: The date format of the chart tool-tip for Daily in week view is now aligned with other layouts.

Fixes

• Android App: Resolved an issue that prevented proper clearing of the navigation stack.
• Agile Screen: Addressed an issue to hide the blurred loading effects correctly.
• Usage Screen: Corrected determining the first tariff start date and implemented an error message to prevent loading when tariff details cannot be retrieved.
• Account Screen: For authenticated users, fixed an issue to indicate variable tariffs with variable unit rates correctly.

Release v1.3.0

Highlights - Say hello to RoomDB!

In this release, we have set up RoomDB as a local cache for meter readings and unit rates. We are testing if that works on all supported platforms.

UI changes

• Updated loading animation. We now show the blurred background with a smaller animated icon.
• Applied animation to Agile Screen rate change indicator
• Updated Agile Screen to check and show the latest Octopus fixed and flexible tariff unit rates on the chart for quick reference.
• Updated widget layouts for the Agile Screen and Usage Screen, so they don't aimlessly take full-screen width on the Desktop.
• Added a button on the Usage Screen to jump back to the latest available readings.
• Applied animation to the Usage Screen Consumption-Standing Charge progress bar.
• Update the Account screen to show full tariff history for logged-in users.

New features

• Added support to retrieve a complete set of data when there are more than 100 records.
• Under the Usage Screen, when viewing half-hourly usage, we can now correctly match the unit rate to produce actual Agile consumption charges for the day.
• Changed to first consider the user's active Agile tariff rather than the hard-coded one on the Agile Screen.
• Added the functionality to clear the local database cache, as we now use RoomDB to reduce API traffic.

Fixes

• Fixed to properly retry under the Usage Screen when the network error is reported.

Known issues

• The calculation of usage charges under the Usage Screen for non-half-hourly views is pretty rough. The implementation will be changed to map accurately with the standing charge and unit rates for a more realistic bill calculation.

Release v1.0.0

This is the first release of OctoMeter.

It works for me, but it should also work for you as a demo app without a need to input the required API Key.

For Android, you may download the apk without a need to build locally.
For iOS, you may simply get it from Test Flight.

Desktop App distributable is coming soon. Right now you may build it from Android Studio, or IntelliJ Idea.
