0.3.16

• bugfix for a scaling issue with the new handler in 0.3.15

0.3.15

• new handler for Dimmers to avoid Apple's Home(c) app's disastrous handling of On and Brightness events. Thanks dlt- for pointing that out. I rewrote it to make it more customizable, and to avoid flickering of the slider in the app due to knx responses.

• merged fix from gkuehn001 for true/false vs. 1/0 responses from Siri and home app for OneWaySwitch handler

  • 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 - Minor Functionality Update

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 feature

• 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

Maintenance 0.3.8

Pure maintenance release, got a complete number instead of a suffix as npm did not like 0.3.7-a which contained a real bugfix and should have been 0.3.8 in any case.

• 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)

Maintenance 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.

Maintenance 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 (#47) .
