0.5.0

This should be a well-baked release for folks, and provides a lot of improvements since 0.4! (This release is the same as 0.5.0-rc2.) New features since 0.4 include:

• Water leak sensor support
• Smoke detector support
• WindowCovering support for %-based devices, e.g. Qubino
• Supports Eve's "Consumption" and "Total Consumption" characteristics for devices with W and kWh meters
• New "Interlock" feature, see README.md
• Added tag Homebridge.Override.probeType:value to make code devices/HTTP devices usable
• Homebridge.Service.Type:Outlet can designate a switch as an Outlet service
• OutletInUse Characteristic can be based on Watts consumed--trigger events when you put your phone on the charger for the night!

And lots of bug fixes.

0.5.0-rc2

Fixes:

• Missed commit in rc1 added that finally fixes #69.
• Fixed compliance issue with WindowCovering devices, partially fixing #72.

0.5.0-rc1

NOTE: This release was improperly published from a branch and missed a commit to master. Use is no longer recommended.

Known issues:

• Almost fixed #69, issues with Fibaro door/window sensors (see 0.5.0-rc2 for complete fix)

Fixes:

• Never-merged smoke detector code now properly included (#86).
• More type flexibility for door lock state set, fixed #74.

0.5.0-rc0

Bugfixes:

• An ugly regression/latent bug was introduced/triggered in 0.5.0-alpha4 when it became possible for sensorBinary/general_purpose devices (many motion sensors, contact sensors, and leak sensors) to become the primary device. All of the sudden devices that used to not work quite right were now instead preventing Homebridge from starting at all! The root of the problem is that when a binary sensor is reported by Z-Way as simply general_purpose (in the probeType), this plugin can't figure out what kind of sensor it is--so please specify some value for the Homebridge.Service.Type:value tag! Nevertheless, it was not acceptable to simply explode when this was not specified, and in some cases in alpha4 it would explode regardless. So, now an unspecified sensor of this type will become a "Contact Sensor"...probably not what you wanted, but it's better than crashing. This bug was always here and was likely behind some other issues as well (Fibaro motion sensors not working, probably). Anyone that's had an unexpected behavior with a binary sensor of any kind should try this release and see if it fixes your issues.

Enhancements:

• Now tells you when your password doesn't work or your URL may be wrong in config.json...instead of just failing silently.

Documentation:

• Added documentation for dimmer_off_threshold configuration parameter.

0.5.0-alpha4

Bugfixes:

• FIXED #44: Lock states always "unlocking"/"unsecured"
• Improvements/fixes to WindowCovering devices (#43 & #46)

Enhancements:

• Water leak sensor support (finally, #19)
• Added tag Homebridge.Override.probeType:value to make code devices/HTTP devices usable (#24 and #46)

Documentation:

• Added (back) much-needed Table of Contents
• Improved instructions for submitting environment data with bugs

0.5.0-alpha2

Bugfixes:

• FIXED: Interlock code cause devices without an interlock defined to fail to set!

0.5.0-alpha1

Enhancements:

• New "Interlock" feature, see README.md

0.5.0-alpha0

Enhancements:

• WindowCovering support for %-based devices, e.g. Qubino (still has an irritating bug, see #20)
• Supports Eve's "Consumption" and "Total Consumption" characteristics for devices with W and kWh meters
• Homebridge.Service.Type:Outlet can designate a switch as an Outlet service
• OutletInUse Characteristic can be based on Watts consumed--trigger events when you put your phone on the charger for the night!

Bugfixes:

• After changing the default config value of split_services in 0.4.0, it was not possible to change the value back to false--it now is possible.
• Fixed misspelled "consisting"
• Uninitialized variable caused only the first optional characteristics encountered to be added to an accessory!

0.4.0

Enhancements:

• Support for Z-Way 2.2 (latest), fixes many real and potential issues when using that version.
• The split_services default has changed to true, as previously warned in the documentation. An explicitly set value of false is still supported.

0.3.3

Enhancements:

• Devices with "Permanently hide this element" will now not be bridged by default
• Hidden devices can be forced to be bridged with Homebridge.Include

Bugfixes:

• Fixed Homebridge.Skip tag, which wasn't working in most (any?) cases
• Using Homebridge.Service.Type:Window should now correctly create a Window service instead of a GarageDoorOpener
