### 2023-11-06 {#2023-11-06}

**Firmware 0.9.6**: Danapad operations can now be detected by the Z-Wave gateway using notification IDs 5 and 6.
A new Z-Wave configuration parameter (13) has been added to detect whether a Danapad is paired, along with parameter 14 for reading the battery level of a paired Danapad and parameter 15 for enabling or disabling easy locking from the Danapad (locking with a single button press).

The file system has been generally improved, and PIN-code time restrictions are now supported both from Z-Wave and from the smartphone.
Enhancements have been made to prevent duplicate PIN codes, and an issue where Z-Wave Configuration CC parameters above 255 were not set correctly has been fixed.
Additional general Z-Wave optimizations have also been implemented.

### 2023-11-08 {#2023-11-08}

**Firmware 2.7.5**: The Danalock HomeKit Dual Mode lock can now be added as a standard Danalock V3 in the Danalock apps while still functioning as a HomeKit lock.
Support has been added for Danapad and Danabridge when the lock is added as a standard Danalock V3 in the apps, as well as support for inviting users to the Danalock cloud (my.danalock.com).

The auto-lock click command time has been adjusted from 15 to 20 seconds, and the Twist-Assist feature has been removed.
Calibration has been generally optimized for Scandinavian lock cases, and lock operations are now blocked when the battery level drops below 25%.
