Status

Beranda 0.16.4 - alpha. Used every day by the author on a Raspberry Pi 4 (2 GB). "Alpha" means: it works and is used, but only a few boards and browsers have been tried for real.

What works, and how we know

Area State How it was checked
Display: clock, weather, 24 h graph, agenda, news, photos, radio, TV, "on this day" ✅ works real Pi 4, daily use
15 themes, 57 display languages (incl. right to left) ✅ works automated screenshots of every theme
Settings page (15 boxes, 9 languages) ✅ works real Pi 4 + automated browser tests
One-line installer, update button, beranda doctor ✅ works real Pi 4 + a fresh Ubuntu machine in CI
Port change, https on the same port ✅ works real Pi 4 (October 2026)
Diagnostic file ✅ works real Pi 4
Voice control ✅ Google Chrome · ❌ Microsoft Edge real PC: Edge's speech service answers "network"
Air quality, UV, pollen ✅ works real Pi 4 (pollen: Europe, in season only)
Weather warnings (MeteoAlarm) ⚠️ works, area names differ by country France only; the settings page now spots an area that does not match the town
Limits per board (Pi 2 to Pi 5) ⚠️ estimates only the Pi 4 2 GB was measured
Raspberry Pi 3B+, Pi 5, Pi 2, Zero 2 W ❓ untested help welcome
Wi-Fi box: see, search, save a password, use now ✅ works real Pi 4: switched from cable to Wi-Fi from the page (October 2026)
Wi-Fi: automatic way back after a failed switch, forget ⚠️ tested with a simulated Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi safety net "Beranda setup" (on by default) ⚠️ installed and running on a real Pi 4; opening it (no network at all) not tried yet
Ready-to-flash image ❓ built, never tried on a real Pi

Known issues

  • Use Google Chrome. Microsoft Edge caused trouble: its speech service fails (no voice control), and it kept an older version of the settings page after an update. Everything was checked in Chrome.
  • Weather warnings: the area must be written as MeteoAlarm writes it in your country; use the Test button.
  • 8 GB SD cards are tight: since 0.15.9 every update keeps them tidy, 16 GB is more comfortable.
  • Self-made certificate: the first visit to https:// shows a "not private" warning, once per browser.

Found something else? Open an issue and attach the diagnostic file (settings page → Advanced user).

Quality

489 automated tests and a linter run on every change; the installer is tested on a fresh Ubuntu machine in GitHub Actions, and every news feed of the catalogue is checked weekly. Every change goes through a pull request.
