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.
