Release Notes

Alarm emails now send reliably and alarm actions are no longer disabled for everyone, sign-in can no longer hang, Device Manager shows live values for every integration, and restart recovery is hardened.

Makes alarm email notifications easy to set up, applies alarm deadband and hysteresis settings during evaluation, and fixes connection status and several alarm reliability issues after restarts and dropped connections.

A follow-up to 0.1.34 that removes redundant background re-evaluation for active alarms, cutting unnecessary processing and log volume.

Fixes an alarm that could repeatedly re-trigger and never stay acknowledged, makes OAuth integrations easy to connect after setup, and resolves dashboard binding and data-access issues so cards bound to a device value display correctly.

A platform-wide consistency and accessibility pass moving every built-in app onto a shared set of controls, searchable entity and field pickers, backward paging through log history, several MQTT subscription fixes, and a device tree that streams in as it loads.

Service Faceplates: the CPU and memory usage alarms now clear when usage returns to normal and identify the service they belong to.

Route protocol connections through a built-in VPN, full IPv6 support across discovery and networking, step-up re-authentication for role changes, a redesigned Rule Chain Editor canvas, and dialogs that now open as movable windows instead of popups.

A new Device Discovery extension for automatic network scanning, plus dashboard and MQTT extension fixes.

The SSH tunnel now supports IPv6 ingress.

A major stability pass for the rule chain editor (around 45 fixes), tap/press feedback and busy indicators across the app, mobile improvements to the rule chain editor, and much faster NFC tag scans.

All seven bundled color themes now define tuned tap/press feedback for buttons and controls.

Fixes a stale status label in the Entity Viewer, alarm sounds failing to play in some browsers, apps losing their config context when launching other apps, and Config Manager git authentication.

Google TTS gets OAuth support and secure API-key storage; fixed a bug that made AlAdhan's and Telegram Bot's automations fail continuously after setup.

NFC tags can now trigger rule chains directly, endpoints show a live Connected/Disconnected status, and several protocols stop reporting a dead connection as healthy.

Fixed integrations creating their endpoint on the wrong node in multi-node deployments, and endpoint installs overwriting other nodes' failover candidates.

Config Manager can now edit git remote settings directly, and the titlebar Runtime/Effort switcher is a working dropdown again.

Cloning a node now automatically connects it to every other node in the cluster, and fixes restore the rule chain editor's context menu and theme-aware context menus everywhere.

Fixed an issue where the extension catalog could stay unavailable for a while after an update, and sped up how quickly it comes back online.

New Schematic 3D Builder with a Model Library panel, Shell image sharing, the official ControlBird MCP server for AI tools, and fixes for extension device deletion, login after a restart, and CLI historian queries.

A new free 3D model pack extension, faster and safer large-extension downloads, and layout fixes for dashboards and faceplates that ship with extensions.

Model and faceplate library rows show live thumbnails, alarms ship with default annunciation sounds, and fixes for password changes and audio device visibility.

Audio playback gains volume control and live status, plus Device Manager fixes for point counts, removing stalled integrations, and touchscreen menus.

The guided PulseAudio setup now creates a single ready-to-use audio device that appears under its own integration.

Failing HTTP integrations now surface as unreachable, sessions survive device sleep, and fixes for mobile menus and configuration Efforts on busy nodes.

A guided setup for playing audio through a node's speaker, and integration devices now appear in the standard Controllers location.

A unified editing engine across all builders, an Efforts workflow that pushes only what you changed, automatic schema migration on node upgrades, and fixes across scheduling, the calendar, and device management.

Simpler single-entity setup for the weather and prayer-time integrations, a Z-Wave reliability fix, and a permissions fix so extensions that define their own data types work right after install.

A new Efforts workflow for drafting and safely pushing configuration changes, plus fixes for faceplates, mobile, and device management.

Install a previous version of an extension, plus fixes for System Dashboards alarms and the Service Monitor faceplate.

Fixes device discovery for the Z-Wave and Zigbee integrations.

NFC tag triggers, much faster loading and provisioning for devices with many points, and a more forgiving connection test.

Faster, more reliable Z-Wave JS UI imports for large devices.

Faster provisioning of large integrations, clearer device-operation errors, and Calendar dark-theme fixes.

More reliable Z-Wave JS UI device imports on slower systems.

Restores historian tables and other data hidden by the new permission rules, protects certificate keys, and improves the Calendar app.

Restores sign-in after the move to protected secret storage.

Protected secret values, a Home Assistant-style dashboard sidebar, live integration status, and faster loading across the app.

Live device availability for HTTP integrations, plus faceplate and dashboard fixes.

Tunnels now recover from dropped connections on their own.

Touch support for the device tree context menus.

Quicker way to add an integration plus a start menu positioning fix.

Maintenance and stability improvements.

Scheduling for scripts and rule chains, selectable extension versions, themes as installable extensions, and a more capable assistant.

Cluster node join, a more reliable assistant, and a round of builder and layout editor polish.

Fixes for AlAdhan setup and integration device discovery.

A redesigned device manager built around a live hierarchical tree, plus community-authored apps and data-driven dashboards.

New installable apps including Database Search, logs, alarm history, and data-driven dashboards.
