Xupdater is a utility designed to facilitate firmware lifecycle management for Xmesh devices operating on the proprietary Xicato mesh network. Interfacing with proprietary gateways via REST API, Xupdater provides a centralized console for deploying updates efficiently across device fleets. Key Features: Batch & Single Deployment: Execute Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates for specific nodes or broadcast batch updates to multiple devices simultaneously. Upgrade Recommendation: System automatically queries and recommends the latest stable firmware build for detected hardware. Granular Filtering: Locate and target devices efficiently by filtering via Network membership and/or Group association. Multi-Gateway Support: Configure and manage multiple gateway endpoints, allowing for seamless context switching between different site deployments. Demo Mode: Preview the application's functionality and workflow in a simulated environment without requiring live hardware connection. Requirements: This application requires a compatible gateway (XIG/XIG2). Network access to the gateway's REST API interface.

SSL Certificate Checker helps you monitor SSL/TLS certificate health for the websites and services you care about. Add one or more targets (hostname + port, default 443), run a check instantly, or scan your whole list in one tap. The app is designed for a quick daily workflow: open, scan, review risk, and act. What you can check: - Expiry date and days left - Status classification: OK, Expiring, Expired, Failed - Issuer and subject - SAN (Subject Alternative Name) - Serial number and signature details - SHA-256 certificate fingerprint - SHA-256 public key fingerprint - Negotiated TLS protocol and cipher suite Key workflows: - Single target check for immediate troubleshooting - Full list scan for regular maintenance - Saved targets and latest results stored locally on device - Optional periodic background checks (can be turned on/off) Built for practical certificate operations: - Quickly identify certificates close to expiration - Compare protocol/cipher negotiation outcomes - Keep a simple watchlist for internal or public endpoints - Generate and review report-style outputs inside the app Security perspective for connected-device teams: - Includes TLS protocol and cipher suite visibility to support baseline security reviews - Helps teams spot weak or unexpected negotiated ciphers during routine checks - Useful as an evidence aid for internal security discussions and release readiness - Designed as a practical checker, not a complete legal/compliance assessment tool Regulatory context note: - In the EU, RED cybersecurity delegated requirements under Directive 2014/53/EU Article 3(3)(d)(e)(f) apply from August 1, 2025 for covered products - This app can support early HTTPS/TLS posture checks, but it does not certify compliance with RED-DA, EN 18031, or any other regulation/standard on its own Privacy and control: - No account is required to start checking - Targets and recent check results are kept locally for your routine usage - Privacy policy and terms are available from within the app Current release focus: - Core SSL/TLS checking flow and result parsing are available - Batch checking and retry flow are available - iOS background checks are best-effort (system-scheduled) - Multilingual UI foundation is integrated; some languages are still being refined This app is suitable for developers, operators, site owners, and anyone who wants a simple way to track certificate validity and TLS configuration from a mobile device.
