HomeGenie 🧞 2.0.8 - Stability & Performance Hotfix

Following yesterday's massive 2.0.7 release introducing the AI Vision Hub and YOLO26, we are rolling out a rapid follow-up update to ensure your system runs flawlessly under heavy workloads.

HomeGenie 2.0.8 is a highly recommended stability update for anyone utilizing the new Video Input, NVR Recorder, or YOLO AI modules. We have aggressively optimized how background processes and heavy AI calculations are handled to guarantee 100% system responsiveness.

🛠️ What's Fixed and Improved

  • Bulletproof FFmpeg Process Management: We've completely rewritten the teardown logic for the video streams. Previously, stopping a camera or updating a script could occasionally leave "zombie" FFmpeg processes running in the background, eventually draining system memory. HomeGenie now enforces a strict, synchronous kill-switch that ensures all video processes exit cleanly, keeping your server's RAM and CPU healthy.
  • AI Engine Responsiveness (YOLO): Pushing the AI to its limits is fun, but it shouldn't crash your smart home. We fixed an issue where setting the AI "Requests Per Second" (RPS) too high could cause the entire system to freeze. We have introduced new internal safeguards that throttle and balance the AI workload, ensuring that HomeGenie's core automation engine remains lightning-fast and responsive, no matter how hard the AI is working.

Updating is strongly recommended to maintain optimal performance, especially if you are running HomeGenie on lower-power devices like a Raspberry Pi.
