• Added support for syncing eligible devices to CUBE via eWeLink Smart Home Add-on, including:

  • SONOFF Mini-RBS

  • Virtual Devices (covering switches and buttons)

  • Sub-devices from ZBBridge-U: SONOFF S60ZB, SNZB-02LD/SNZB-02WD, Mini-ZBRBS, SWV

1. Device List Enhancements

• You can now hide offline devices from the Home page device list for a cleaner, more focused view.

1. Data Visualization Enhancements

• Temperature and humidity graphs now support minute-level data for more detailed insights.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed an issue where scene notifications were not received via CUBE CAST during remote access.

2. Fixed compatibility issues with Tuya TS0001 Fingerbot.

3. Fixed Matter Bridge issues:

• Fixed an issue where the Matter Bridge repeatedly went offline.

• Fixed a problem where adding more than 10 devices prevented newly added devices from being synchronized through Matter Bridge.

• Fixed an issue where the Matter Fabric displayed as empty.

• Fixed an issue where deleting a device from CUBE did not correctly remove the corresponding device from the third-party Matter platform.

1. Fixed SONOFF TRVZB issues:

• Fixed an issue where Boost Mode and Temp. Override Mode failed to execute correctly.

• Fixed an issue where scene actions incorrectly allowed selecting Temp. Override Mode.

• Fixed an issue where adjusting the Boost Time while in Boost Mode caused inconsistent or incorrect timing.

• Fixed a bug where minute-level data of temperature and humidity graphs could not be properly displayed.

• Fixed an issue where the target temperature displayed in CAST exceeded the allowed range.

• Fixed an issue where the TRV's target temperature for Boost/Temp. Override Mode could not be synchronized or displayed correctly.

V0.2 - Dec. 31, 2024

What’s New?

• 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.
