You must have SOTI Connect 2025.0.1 or later installed on your system before upgrading to version 2026.0.
SOTI Connect now supports Bluetooth printer management through the Android Connect Agent. When installed on an Android device, the agent enables discovery and management of supported Bluetooth printers paired with the device. It securely communicates with the SOTI Connect console using the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, providing administrators with real-time visibility and centralized control over Bluetooth-enabled operations across your environment.
Note: The SOTI Connect Agent APK required for Bluetooth support is available on SOTI Pulse.
The new SOTI Connect Administration Utility is a powerful, centralized interface to SOTI Connect that streamlines administrative tasks and enhances system management capabilities. As a SOTI Connect administrator, you can use this tool to manage system configurations, monitor device health, and perform maintenance operations. The Administration Utility can be installed through the SOTI Connect 2026.0 installer.
For details on the Administration Utility and full application path, see the SOTI Connect Online Help for version 2026.0.
Users can now create Custom Attributes for device groups in SOTI Connect. Devices that inherit a group-level Custom Attribute can use it in rules and macros, enabling extended automation at the group level.
SOTI Connect now supports sequential configuration execution, giving you greater control and flexibility over automation workflows. With this update, Rules and Configurations run in sequence rather than in parallel, ensuring actions execute in a defined order for improved consistency and predictability.
SOTI Connect now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2022, enhancing security for enterprise customers. This update ensures IT policy compliance, reduces security vulnerabilities, and allows customers to utilize the latest SQL Server features.
SOTI Connect version 2026.0.0 introduces several upgrades designed to improve the user experience. These include:
SOTI Connect can now manage Zebra ZQ600 Plus Series printers over Bluetooth:
