What's New in this Release

Location Hierarchy

The following new features are introduced in Location Hierarchy.

Location Hierarchy now supports Meraki MT. The configurations required for receiving the data from the MT sensors are updated using Cisco Spaces and Meraki integration. The MT sensors are automatically imported to Location Hierarchy.

Location Hierarchy 2.0 is the enhanced beta release of Location Hierarchy with a revamped user interface and performance improvement along with the existing Location Hierarchy features.

The new features include:

  • Interactive global map for updating geolocation

  • Option to create and edit polygon zones and AP markers on floor maps

  • Uncategorised AP groups


Note


In Cisco Spaces, click Menu () and choose Location Hierarchy > Beta UI to enable Location Hierarchy 2.0. Use the Beta UI toggle button to switch between Location Hierarchy 2.0 and the Location Hierarchy GUI.


Cisco Spaces Dashboard

The following new feature is introduced in the Cisco Spaces dashboard:

Cisco pxGrid Cloud

The Cisco Spaces dashboard now supports Cisco pxGrid Cloud implementation. Cisco pxGrid Cloud allows you to share contextual information between Cisco Identity Services Engine (Cisco ISE) and other cloud-based solutions.

To configure Cisco pxGrid Cloud in the Cisco Spaces dashboard, you require a token from Cisco DNA - Cloud. This token must be validated at pxGrid Cloud. After successful validation, the app is activated in the pxGrid Cloud, thereby allowing the services to be used in the Cisco Spaces dashboard.


Note


Currently, only Cisco pxGrid Cloud GUI support is available in Cisco Spaces. Backend changes are expected to be included in the future.


Firehose

A new event called WEBEX Telemetry is added in Firehose. This event is initiated when telemetry data is received from the Cisco Webex devices from the location.


Note


Currently, GUI support for enabling this event in Cisco Spaces Partner Dashboard is not available. Contact Cisco Spaces support to enable this new event from the backend.

What's Changed in this Release

Cisco Spaces Dashboard

The following enhancements are made in the Cisco Spaces dashboard:

  • Camera Zone Support for Meraki Networks: In Location Hierarchy, for the newly added networks with camera zones in Meraki, zones are added to Location Hierarchy along with the networks.

    For existing networks, the camera zones that are added, modified, or removed in Meraki are synchronized with the Location Hierarchy during the background synchronization process.


    Note


    Currently, GUI support to display the camera zones in the Cisco Spaces dashboard is not available.


  • IoT Explorer: Cisco Spaces dashboard now supports the import of MT Sensor devices in the Temperature Monitoring section of the IoT Explorer app.
