CHANGELOG.md

Changelog for Version 0.3.x

0.3.13

• bump required packages to new versions:
  • node-eibd to 0.3.9 (regression!)
  • debug to 3.1.0

0.3.12

• changed logging of KNX value changes: type INFO changed to DEBUG to avoid filling the logs, #93
• commented out the code stub throwing an exception at homebridge start, #89
• allow Reverse keyword for UINT8 homekit types that have only 0,1 as valid values (treat as boolean) #91 Had to be skipped for complete rework of data value validation in HAP-nodeJS v.0.4.32 and beyond
• The parameter "AllowWebserver" now has a companion "WebserverPort" if you want to use something different than 18081 (or want to run two instances in parallel as I did)
• requires homebridge 0.4.28
• merged fix from gkuehn001 for true/false vs. 1/0 responses from Siri and home app for OneWaySwitch handler

0.3.11

• tiny internal web server has newe pages:
  • /availservices shows the services from hap-nodejs
  • /availcharacteristics shows the characteristics from hap-nodejs
  • these pages are linked
  • localization is prepared but not implemented yet
  • properties of the characteristics are listed but not explained

0.3.10-b

• Just pushing dependency to eibd to beyond 0.3.8, which was faulty (and it was my fault.)

0.3.10

• New Add-in

  • From the German knx-user-forum.de the idea of having a one-way switch to shut off central functions such as switching lights off all at once was voiced, so here it is: OneWaySwitch handler

• Ignore Option

  • For those who want to (for whatever reason) run multiple homebridge instances on the same machine whilst having them globally installed, now a file named **knx-ignore.txt** in the homebridge-configuration folder (of the respective instance, defaults to ~/.homebridge ) prevents the loading of homebridge-knx.

0.3.9

• New Add-in!
  • for CO2Sensors, thanks to Matevz Gacnik! He was so kind to put it in Issue 85 for me to publish it.
  • Translates definable limits to HomeKit specific status values. See the example in the code

0.3.8

• Documentation of knx_config.json changed: Recommend to place all services in a room into one device. Issue 83
  Thanks to Matevž Gačnik for pointing that out.
• Version bumped to 0.3.8 as npm does not like 0.3.7-a (no update on `npm update homebridge-knx, see #82)

0.3.7-a

• Fixed the dependency to homebridge, which was already somewhat futuristic:
  • Current is 0.4.16
  • Required 0.4.19
    did not work, fixed now.

0.3.7

• Enhancements
  • Does not send values to homekit that haven't changed. Might take some pressure from the Lightbulb with dimmer-going-havoc issue, though it doesn't solve it completely.

0.3.6

• Bugfixes
  • #79 Wrong assumption about FORMAT and UNIT of homekit types referring to PERCENTAGES

0.3.5-a

• Enhancements
  • #60 Experimental RBG light controller updated. Should now convert from HomeKit to RGB and from KNX RGB to Homekit HSB. Untested. Have no hardware.

0.3.5

• Enhancements
  • #72 Allow 16 bit addresses (extended address structure, might be incompatible with older devices; in case of doubt restrict your address range to (15/7/255) as in ETS 3 and before)

0.3.4

• Bugfixes

  • #66 Invalid values returned for enumerated-code characteristics
  • #67 Reverse keyword did not work at all
  • #69 group address validation is wrong

• New mini feature

  • new keyword "ValidValues" allows to restrict the options in homekit apps such as Apple's Home. Others might not yet support that (Elgato Eve 2.5.1 does not, e.g.)

0.3.3

• included new addins
  • WindowCoveringTilt by giase82/Christof
  • GiaseGarageDoorOpener by giase82/Christof
  • RGB light test addin
• some code cleaning
• Known Issues
  • Reverse not working reliably in some cases snowdd1#67
  • Not filtering invalid responses before answering to homekit snowdd1#66

0.3.2

• Fixed `-U not being used for knx_config.json path
• added new getProperty() method to add-in API

0.3.1-a

Updated README only

0.3.1

###maintenance/patch release

• Updated homebridge dependency to >=0.4.9, as an important bug has been fixed in that version, that especially KNX users with a lot of services (and we all have, don't we?) could affect.
• Updated eibd dependency to latest version 0.3.5
• Updated debug dependency to latest stable version 2.3.0
• Removed a legacy line of code that was never executed

0.3.0

initial release

Version numbering conventions

First digit - Major version; if =0 then software is assumed to be not production ready (in this case - it's open source non-commercial and therefore use at own risk!)
Second digit - Minor version number; Increase of minor version should not break compatibility, unless first digit was 0
Third digit - Patch number, unless first digit was 0; then minor version
Appendices - Sub-Patch; usually no code change; documentation changes only! Will usually not be published to NPM
