Mac2MQTT v0.4.11
- The welcome finds the broker on your network: Home Assistant's host,
where its Mosquitto add-on listens, and brokers that announce
themselves. One click puts it into Settings. - Test Connection in Settings tries the settings as edited, beside the
reporting connection, and says what went wrong. - An Audio Output select chooses where sound plays, the speakers or the
headphones, as the Sound settings do; the Volume tile names it. - Home Assistant knows at once when the Mac goes to sleep: it says it is
offline as it sleeps, and online again as it wakes, rather than after
the broker gives up on it. - A Displays sensor counts the displays connected, so that one switched
off at the plug tells from one asleep; the Display tile says which, and
how many are connected.
Mac2MQTT v0.4.10
- A calmer window: the light behind the glass is blues of one family,
the accent's, rather than blue, teal and pink. - Motion: the sidebar's selection slides to the page chosen, and the
page rises in; numbers roll to their new values, states and icons fade
across, and rows that come and go open and close. With Reduce Motion
on, things fade in place. - The first launch opens on a welcome that explains the setup and leads
to the broker's settings, rather than on Settings. - Settings says "yesterday" for an update check a day ago, not "30 hours
ago". - Clearer text: the welcome's last step says settings save on their own,
About lists what the app reports, and Display's tile no longer cuts off. - Updates download only what changed since the installed version, when
it is one of the last 3: usually a small part of the whole app.
Mac2MQTT v0.4.9
- Reports keep their interval while the window is closed: macOS no longer
puts the app into App Nap while it reports, and the Mac still sleeps
when idle. - Checking for updates asks again when the server fails for a moment.
Mac2MQTT v0.4.8
- The menu bar's menu shows the connection's state over the broker's
address, and the song over its artist, each on two lines. - Settings says when updates were last checked as "5 minutes ago" or
"yesterday", in the app's language. - Updating removes the files the new version no longer has.
Mac2MQTT v0.4.7
- The display reads off when its monitor has no power, as one on a smart
plug that is switched off, not only when it sleeps. - Screen Lock replaces Screen Locked in Home Assistant: it reads Locked or
Unlocked, with a lock that closes and opens, where Screen Locked read On
while the screen was locked. Its entity is new
(binary_sensor._screen_lock, on while unlocked): update the
automations that used Screen Locked.
Mac2MQTT v0.4.6
- A brighter, more even look: badges and states in bright colors of one
lightness, flat badges, a quieter sidebar, page titles level with the
app's name, and This Mac in three columns. - Overview's status and Now Playing are Liquid Glass over soft light, and
pages fade out under their title as they scroll. - Entities opens on a summary: how many entities Home Assistant has from
this Mac, and how many groups are on and off. - Settings save as you change them, as macOS's do: a field saves when you
leave it, and there is no Save button to press. - When an update is available, the menu bar's menu, Settings and About say
which version, with a button to update to it. - The app icon's body has a faint depth.
Mac2MQTT v0.4.5
- Home Assistant gets the Mac's uptime, how long ago it started, sleep
included, beside the app's own.
Mac2MQTT v0.4.4
- Every item of the menu bar's menu has its icon, so that their labels
line up in one column.
Mac2MQTT v0.4.3
- The menu bar's menu shows icons beside its items, as macOS 26's menus
do, and the status with a dot in its color. - A Control-click on the menu bar's icon opens its menu, as a right-click
does. - Updates replace the app once it has quit, so the Dock and Login Items
keep it; a check in the background shows its window as Sparkle does. - Install from Terminal, with the update's signature checked:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/FaintGhost/mac2mqtt/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh
Mac2MQTT v0.4.2
- Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple: Mac2MQTT opens like
any app, and macOS keeps its permissions, such as Local Network, across
updates. - When macOS's Local Network privacy keeps Mac2MQTT from a broker on the
local network, which it reported as "no route to host", the window says
what to allow, with a button to the setting.
