V0.2 - Dec. 31, 2024

What’s New in V0.2

  • Remote Access rolls out for Pilot Features. When enabled, it allows remote access to CubeOS' web console and CAST via secured links.

  • CAST can be installed as a web app with remote links. The app enables notifications for scene executions, Smart Security events, switch and plug toggles, and sensor triggers, including:

    • Motion detection

    • Presence detection

    • Open window detection

    • Gas detection

    • Water leakage detection

    • Smoke detection

    • Press actions

  • Users can now change the password for the web console.

  • A new MQTT Broker settings page is available, supporting adding accounts and passwords. It allows connection to the broker using those credentials to subscribe to MQTT messages.

  • Cameras now support simultaneous viewing of multiple streams.

New Platform:

  • Raspberry Pi 5 (unverified).

Optimizations:

  • Optimized the Tasmota add-on by using the built-in Mosquitto broker, retiring the need for extra broker installation.

  • Improved the display format of Matter setup codes for better readability.

Bug Fixes:

  • Resolved an issue where version 0.1 could not handle updates via OTA.

Known Issues:

The following known issues exist with version 0.2 and remain to be fixed in future updates:

  • When accessing the web for the first time, virtual machines and Raspberry Pi might occasionally show a disconnection prompt.

  • Raspberry Pi installation does not support adding fresh new or factory resetting Matter devices. Please use alternative Matter platforms and share them with CubeOS.

  • Matter Hub sometimes crashes and restarts continuously.

  • Remote notifications are unstable; users may not receive system pushes, potentially related to the network environment, browser issues, or backend process closures.

  • Camera streaming may fail for Raspberry Pi installation via remote links.

  • Matter Bridges won't show sub-devices on the devices' control page. And for sub-devices connected to a Matter Bridge on the settings page, the information of the Connected Bridge is missing.

  • Matter fabric with Vendor ID "1286" can not be removed on CubeOS. If the system promotes a device that is full of fabric, please remove one from the other Matter platforms it is connected to.

  • OTA is unsupported for Raspberry Pi 5 installation.
