You must have SOTI Connect 2025.0.1 or later installed on your system before upgrading to version 2026.1.
SOTI Connect now supports Direct TCP communication to streamline device enrollment and initialization workflows. By enabling direct communication over open ports, this feature reduces dependency on intermediary channels and allows for faster device discovery, initial firmware updates, and troubleshooting. This improves onboarding efficiency and provides administrators with more direct control when managing malfunctioning or uninitialized devices.
This release introduces Computed Custom Attributes, allowing users to define dynamic device properties based on existing device data. By using calculation expressions, attributes can be automatically derived from other properties, enabling more advanced data modeling and customization. This enhances flexibility in how device information is structured and displayed, supporting more tailored views and automation scenarios across your environment.
Protocol Adapters can now run on Linux, enabling OEM partners and customers to deploy integrations directly on existing Linux infrastructure. Adapters can run as native services across supported distributions like Ubuntu and Debian, eliminating the need for additional Windows machines and simplifying deployments in distributed environments.
SOTI Connect version 2026.1 introduces several upgrades designed to improve the user experience. These include:
SOTI Connect can now manage:
Zebra MQTT:
SOTI Connect now offers support for Zebra Link-OS 7.6 for all MQTT models. Zebra Link-OS 7.6 introduces Trusted Connections allowing SOTI Connect to continue managing printers when Device Protected Mode is enabled.
Zebra Bluetooth:
Honeywell MQTT:
