Streamer: Manage Authentication Settings for LAN API Access
Customers now have the ability to manage authentication settings for their devices' LAN API through the Device Management API. This enhancement provides greater flexibility and control over how users authenticate with their devices on the local network.
- When authentication is enabled, the LAN API credentials are required to be provided before accessing the device.
- When authentication is disabled, the LAN API can be accessed without entering credentials.

Support Portal enhancements have been introduced to improve transparency regarding user hardware setups. These updates will help Agents identify, troubleshoot, and assist with user issues more efficiently.
- The "Profile" tab has been renamed to "Profile & EnergyAI".
- The "NILM" block has been renamed to "Daily (NILM) Events" and moved under the "Profile & EnergyAI" tab. A hover-over feature has been added, providing additional information about this block.
- Fixes have been applied to the "Meter Information" and "Hardware Information" sections to resolve issues where hardware details were displayed under meter information, and vice-versa.
- Empty fields are now hidden, simplifying the interface; this allows Agents to focus on relevant account and hardware setup details, reducing confusion caused by seeing unnecessary fields from different hardware configurations.
- The "SmartMeter" block has been renamed to "Connectivity with Meter". This block will now only appear for Optical or MeDa Meters and will include details about the additional hardware required for meter connectivity.
- The "Smart Meter Information" block has been renamed to "Virtual EUI", as it refers to the virtual meter of an installation, for which data is collected via Datahub or MDM integrations.

A bug that caused a few users to stop receiving daily event reports has been fixed.
