v20240808 - 2024-08-08

Fixed

• Fixed an issue preventing the removal of virtual buttons.

v20240720 - 2024-07-20

v20240114 - 2024-01-14

Added

• Added driver tab for accessing the Homebridge/HOOBS UI from Composer. Note, this only works when Composer is connected to the controller locally on the same network.
• Added support for cameras that only have MJPEG streams.

v20240109 - 2024-01-09

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where the current thermostat temperature would occasionally display 0.

v20240104 - 2024-01-04

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with detecting the stream url for cameras with dynamic urls that would incorrectly be reported as No H264 encoded stream found in the logs.
• Fixed an issue with Select Doorbells where it would not deduplicate the selected devices when a DS2 or Chime doorbell was selected.

v20231231 - 2023-12-31

Added

• Added previously removed name configurability in Apple Home to television inputs and power strip outlets.

v20231124 - 2023-11-24

Fixed

• Fixed handling of inverted relays for several different services.
• Fixed conditional logic for the "not equal" case.

Removed

v20231119 - 2023-11-19

Fixed

• Fixed an issue that forced the thermostat Auto mode to be enabled, even if disabled by the device.
• Fixed an issue where some dynamic humidity and temperature sensors would not be detected on reboot.

v20231019 - 2023-10-19

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with the Door -> Garage Door migration introduced in v20230921 causing the myQ devices to not be selectable in the Select Garage Doors and Gates property.

v20230929 - 2023-09-29

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with the Gate integration where it would not be controlled correctly from Apple Home.

v20230922 - 2023-09-22

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with the Door -> Garage Door migration introduced in v20230921 causing the gates to be removed from Apple Home.
• Fixed an issue with the incorrect target temperature being displayed for thermostats.

v20230921 - 2023-09-21

Changed

• Changed gate device support from being implemented as a HomeKit Door accessory to a Garage Door accessory. With the release of iOS 17, you can now display Garage Door accessories as gates in the settings.

v20230920 - 2023-09-20

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where a thermostat in Auto mode may cause Apple Home to show the accessory as Not Responding.

v20230908 - 2023-09-08

Added

• Added support for configuring the "Night" arm mode of a security system. This will show up as an additional option next to the "Home" and "Away" modes in Apple Home when configured. If modifying an existing system, a restart of the Homebridge/HOOBS server is necessary in order to refresh the Apple Home accessory.

v20230902 - 2023-09-02

Changed

• Changed the logic that checks the active connections to the Homebridge/HOOBS server to be more performant. This is an additional improvement aimed to reduce latency of interactions between the controller and other devices (e.g. remotes, keypads, etc.).

v20230830 - 2023-08-30

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where relay controller based garage doors, gates, and windows would show the opposite opening/closing state when controlled outside of Apple Home.

v20230828 - 2023-08-28

Added

• Added garage door support for the myQ driver.

Changed

• Changed the periodic accessory synchronization to only occur if devices were added/removed/changed/renamed or a navigator refresh was performed. This can be an expensive operation for larger projects and can cause interactions with other devices (e.g. remotes, keypads, etc.) to lag while the synchronization process is running.

v20230824 - 2023-08-24

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where integrated devices with device IDs less than 10 would log a warning in HOOBs/Homebridge.

v20230711 - 2023-07-11

Added

• Added temperature and humidity sensor support for devices that expose TEMPERATURE_VALUE and HUMIDITY_VALUE connections.

Changed

• Changed Refresh Advanced Lighting Scenes and Refresh Macros from an action to a selectable Refresh List item in the respective property for easier discoverability.

v20230626 - 2023-06-26

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with incorrect thermostat setpoints after changing between
  modes (e.g. Off, Auto, Cool, Heat).

v20230624 - 2023-06-24

Added

v20230620 - 2023-06-20

Added

• Added support for HOOBS 5.

v20230531 - 2023-05-31

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with the Select Macros where it was not refreshing the list on driver load.

v20230529 - 2023-05-29

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with the Refresh Advanced Lighting Scenes action where the property may incorrectly show no scenes to select.

Added

• Added conditional and event support for macro integration.

v20230525 - 2023-05-25

Added

• Added macro integration for triggering from Apple Home.

v20230524 - 2023-05-24

Fixed

• Fixed integration of blinds that do not have discrete level control.

v20230523 - 2023-05-23

Fixed

• Fixed thermostat capability detection. Certain thermostats were unable to be configured properly and resulted in a non-functioning accessory in Apple Home.
• Fixed handling of temperature changes when in Auto mode. Previously the lower set point would occasionally be set at the midpoint between the actual lower and upper set point.

v20230519 - 2023-05-19

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where turning on a dimmable light to a value other than the preset may be overridden with the preset value.

v20230518 - 2023-05-18

Fixed

• Fixed a locale encoding issue that would cause issues communicating with HOOBS/Homebridge.

v20230510 - 2023-05-10

Added

• Added window controller support
• Added door controller support

Fixed

• Reduced delay of lighting scene state changes when the change originates from outside of Apple Home.

Changed

• When an accessory property (e.g. light brightness) change originates from Apple Home, any additional changes to that property are debounced for 10s. This helps to reduce sending sporadic and/or transitioning states to Apple Home. For example, assume you have a light with a 3s ramp time, and you command the light to 100% in Apple Home. Without this change you may see the light brightness adjust back to 0% then ramp up with the light brightness, instead of staying at 100% where you set it.
• Important log messages are always printed, regardless of log level and/or mode.
• Garage and gate controller integration no longer automatically add connections to the open/close button links as it now sends the open/close command directly to the device.

v20230424 - 2023-04-24

Fixed

• Fixed light capability detection. Occasionally features such as "Light Color" would be present in Apple Home even though the light did not support it.

v20230417 - 2023-04-17

Added

• Added support for additional fireplace relay drivers.

v20230414 - 2023-04-14

Added

• Added gate controller support.

v20230331 - 2023-03-31

Fixed

• Fixed garage door binding process to only bind open/close connections if currently unbound. This addresses an issue where it would cause the garage door driver to temporarily report an "Unknown" state.

v20230324 - 2023-03-24

Added

• Added garage door support for the Cindev Garage Agent driver.

v20230308 - 2023-03-08

Added
