Release Notes

1.6.0

September 22, 2024

Happy Release Day! As always, we’re thrilled to bring new features and improvements to your fingertips. We recently saw a post in Reddit from a fellow HVAC tech that said,

Someone smart enough should create an app where you can put notes about a unit by serial number so when another person works on it you know what actually goes on…

Well, that is one of the core ideas we’ve built into our Hero app! Every time you or another hero scans a new unit into the app, you and other heroes can now perform services on that unit. We’re getting closer to launching our Hero Pro solution, which will leverage this information to provide the service histories for each unit. You’ll see what was done, when and how — without revealing who performed the service, ensuring privacy.

Got more ideas like this?  We’d love to hear them!  Your feedback from the field helps us make your work easier and keeps you compliant, every step of the way.

Features

Retrofit Service Type

Commence Retrofitting! Now you can document every crucial detail about your system modifications. When you retrofitting existing equipment to boost efficiency, enhance performance, or ensure compliance, you’ve got a new mission screen tailored precisely for retrofits. Capture all the pivotal information and let no detail escape!

FSO Media Gallery & Multiple Images

An exciting feature to share that was suggested by FMHero Beaston, is that you can now view a gallery of all Service Images captured on your FSO directly from the initial Summary screen. No more clicking through units to find that critical snapshot amidst the battlefield of service details!

More great news, while we were at it, a feature we know you’ve been patiently waiting for is finally here! No longer are you limited to a single image when documenting a service, now you can add multiple images! Video uploads are coming soon, so stay tuned for more on this.

Consistent and Exact Weights for Recovery and Charge

Heroes, update and equip yourselves with the power of precision! We’ve upgraded the recovery and charge process to ensure refrigerant details are consistent and precisely accurate (up to 2 decimal places). No more second-guessing your transactions; handle your refrigerants like the true superheroes you are—with complete confidence in the data!

Operational Status Based Services

The power to perform service missions just got cleaner! Now, when you inspect an asset, you’ll only see the services available to complete on the asset based on its current operational status. This upgrade streamlines your quest, ensuring you’re always equipped for success and never wasting time on impossible missions.

Bug Fixes

As with every release, we’ve squashed some bugs to make sure your experience is smoother and more reliable.

  • Services are again now available as slide gestures from the FSO Equipment list screen
  • Fixed Editing Equipment Asset Circuit Issue

Conclusion

We encourage you to explore the new features, especially the ability to document retrofits and the enhanced FSO media gallery. These enhancements are designed to simplify your workflow and ensure greater accuracy on every service mission.

We value your insights from the field, so don’t hesitate to share your thoughts. Your feedback helps us improve the app and stay aligned with what truly matters to you. Keep the ideas coming, and together we’ll continue making FMHero the ultimate tool for every HVAC hero out there!
