4.8.0 (2020-01-18)

Notable Changes

• System: Prevent in-app updates to the UI for Windows 10 users. Windows file-locking prevents online updates from completing successfully while Homebridge Config UI X is still running, this can leave Homebridge in an unstable state.

Existing Windows 10 users: please perform this update manually after stopping the Homebridge service!
• Dashboard: Added a Clock widget, users can select the time format they wish the clock to display (#459)

• i18n: Improvements to Swedish language translations (#476)
• i18n: Improvements to German language translations (#482)

4.7.0 (2020-01-11)

New Dashboard

This release comes with a brand new status dashboard that features a fully customisable, widget-based design. Users can decide which widgets they wish to enable and position and resize them as they like.

New widgets include:

• Homebridge Status Widget - Homebridge version and update check, current Homebridge service status and Homebridge plugins update check
• CPU Widget - shows the current cpu load (now much more accurate) and CPU temperature when available, plus a graph of the last 0-10 minutes cpu load
• Memory Widget - shows the total and available memory (previously "Free" memory as show which is not a reliable indicator of "Available" memory), plus a graph of the last 0-10 minutes free memory
• Uptime Widget - shows the server uptime and the process uptime
• QR Code Widget - shows the pairing QR Code and Homebridge PIN
• Homebridge Logs Widget - shows the Homebridge logs stream
• Homebridge Terminal Widget - an interactive terminal (only available when interactive web terminals are enabled)
• System Information Widget - shows details about your server and homebridge setup
• Weather Widget - shows the current weather for the set location (may add a forecast later)
• Accessories Widget - display and control the accessories you select

Simple Service Installer

This release expands the hb-service command to support macOS and Linux in addition to Windows 10. This command allows you to setup a Homebridge instance as a service in seconds.

Running hb-service install will setup Homebridge and Homebridge Config UI X to run as a service with auto-start on boot. The same command works across Linux, macOS and Windows 10.

Notable Features:

• The UI will remain running even if there is an issue preventing Homebridge from starting
• Easily setup and manage multiple homebridge instances
• The ability to start, stop, restart and view the logs of your Homebridge instances using the hb-service commands
• See the wiki for further details

New Config Editor

The config editor (non-mobile) has had the Ace Editor replaced with the Microsoft Monaco Editor (the code editor that powers VS Code).

This allow for much more powerful JSON syntax checking, more helpful error messages and the new ability to detect duplicate keys in object (like when a second platforms[] array is added by mistake!).

In addition:

• Help text is now shown when hovering over the core components of the config.json
• Autocomplete of the bridge, plugins, ports and mdns objects
• Detect when accessory config has been added to the platform array, or vice versa
• Warnings when the JSON does not match what is allowed by Homebridge

Other Changes

• Logs: URLs in the log output are now clickable
• Status: CPU utilization is now shown for Windows 10 users
• Status: CPU temperature option, temp, has been removed, the CPU temperature will now automatically be displayed where possible on Linux and Windows
• System: Removed the websocketCompatibilityMode option, this setting is now the default for all users
• Terminal: The terminal now automatically respawns the shell if the shell is terminated by the user (e.g, when using CTRL+D)
• Accessory Control: The right click handler on accessory tiles has been removed and replaced with a clickable cog icon in the top right hand side of each tile
• Themes: The legacy Dark Mode (v1) has been removed, users will be migrated to the new Dark Mode automatically
• i18n: Improvements to Simplified Chinese language translations (#431)
• i18n: Improvements to German language translations (#444)

• Linux: Fixed a bug where the custom shutdown command was executing the custom restart command instead (#442)
