v0.2.0 - RGBIC
v0.2.0 introduces the first RGBIC scene functionality for Monster Smart Lighting devices!
DIY scenes can now be optionally exposed as HomeKit switch accessories, allowing scenes to be activated directly from HomeKit. The plugin automatically discovers supported DIY scenes, tracks the currently active scene, and synchronizes scene state with HomeKit.
This release also lays the foundation for future Dynamic, Music, Static, Custom Scene, and Segment-Level RGBIC features.
New Features
DIY Scene Support
Monster Smart Lighting DIY scenes can now be exposed to HomeKit as individual switch accessories.
When enabled in plugin configuration, DIY scenes discovered from the device will be automatically created as HomeKit accessories. Turning a scene switch on activates the corresponding Monster scene. Turning the switch off powers the device off.
Scene Configuration Options
New scene category options have been added to plugin configuration:
- DIY Scenes
- Static Scenes
- Dynamic Scenes
- Music Scenes
- Custom Scenes
Only DIY scenes are currently implemented.
All scene categories remain disabled by default.
Scene State Synchronization
Scene accessories now track the currently active DIY scene and automatically update HomeKit switch state when a different scene is selected.
Manual control from the primary light accessory will also clear active scene state in HomeKit.
Notes
- DIY scene availability varies by device model.
- Some discovered DIY scenes may not produce visible effects on all Monster devices.
- Static, Dynamic, Music, and Custom scene categories are currently placeholders for future development and do not yet create accessories or provide functionality.
- Scene support remains experimental and will continue to be refined in future releases.
