***Please Read The Following Before Updating***

Major improvements made to the processing of wireless packets received from WiSH and WiSPR Sensors. This should result in much fewer dropped packets and improved reliability.
Improved false alarm checking for Digital Power Sensors. This will result in increased accuracy and reduced invalid spikes that can interfere with accurate high and low values, logging and graphing. This improved false alarm checking will also reduce the number of alert emails sent for invalid spikes.
Improved the progress bar used when saving setting via the web interface. It is now smoother and more accurately represents the current status of the setting save and device reboot.
Added the ability to remove or reset WiSH Sensors that are no longer responding by simply clicking the link from the Status page. This will reset all WiSH Sensor information for this single WiSH Sensor, including all labels and thresholds. The link to do this will appear automatically when a WiSH Sensor stops responding or loses communication with the Room Alert 26W.
Added support for decimal 'Adjust' values to be used to calibrate sensor values.
Added a progress bar to the initial settings page load to allow the settings to be read properly from the device before displaying the configuration page. This should eliminate the occasional error loading settings from the device.
Added a new 'WiSH Options' settings screen. This will allow users to Enable/Disable WiSH Lost Communication Alarms, configure the number of missed packets before a Lost Communication alert is triggered, the number of WiSH Sensors allowed, and the channel that the Room Alert 26W wireless radio operates on. These are settings that were previously either unavailable or only in the telnet configuration menu. Note that the WiSH Channel should not be modified unless directed by AVTECH Technical Support.
Added an option to the telnet configuration menu to allow users to configure the level of desired false alarm checking when processing switch sensor alarms. By default, a switch sensor needs to be in an alarm state for 3 consecutive scans before triggering an alarm. This is now configurable from 0 to 5 scans before triggering an alarm.
Resolved an issue that could cause values in the Lost Communication emails to display out of order.
