Beta

This is a beta pre-release. The headline feature - LAN monitoring - is new and experimental; the existing single-device functionality is unchanged.

New

  • LAN monitoring - monitor and control WireViews on other machines over the LAN. Add remote hosts in Settings → Remote hosts and each appears in the device picker (lan @ host) alongside the local one, with full live monitoring.
  • Publish this host on the LAN - opens a read listener (default port 9876, configurable) so other instances can read this machine's device. Off by default. On Linux the wireviewd daemon owns publishing, so the toggle is hidden there.
  • Authenticated remote control & config - set the same Network secret on both ends to write to a remote device: screen changes, NVM store/reset, clear-faults, and the full configuration editor. Requests are signed with HMAC-SHA256 (the secret never crosses the wire; replays rejected). Reads need no secret; only writes do, and failures are surfaced precisely.
  • Daily-rotating audit log with configurable retention; configurable publish port.

See the LAN monitoring section of the README for protocol and security details. There is no TLS; this targets a trusted LAN.
