Almer app 1.18

April 29 2024

New features

  • Added captive portal support
    • Allows connecting the Arc to Wi-Fi guest networks via the Almer App(requires Arc OS 1.4.0.00420 or later)
    • This feature addresses a substantial amount of users who only have access to a Wi-Fi network that requires an additional "log in" step via a custom portal.
  • Screen sharing (requires Arc OS 1.4.0.00420 or later)
    • Allows streaming the screen of the Arc to your mobile device
    • This feature enables interaction with the Almer Arc in all possible use-cases. One example is entering text easily on the arc.

Improvements

  • Removed Headphones screen from initial Arc setup as per feedback received from users
  • Apps installed by the end user are now visible in "App Switch" (requires ArcOS 1.4.0.00420 or later)
    • The "App Switch" feature previously allowed changing the current app the Arc was using to another from a curated list of installed apps. With this improvement, users are now able to install their own apps and "App Switch" to them. This enables custom use-cases of the Arc.
