Changelog

Version 1.0.5

June 2026

Reliability & filtering

• No more hanging reads — HomeKit reads now have a hard timeout, and get --no-refreshreturns the last known value instantly. A slow or unreachable accessory no longer stalls the command.
• Self-healing control socket and menu bar — automatically recovers from a wedged state on headless Macs instead of going stale.
• --category now applies to list --json output, not just the human-readable view.
• Correctly decodes threshold triggers and time-range conditions when reading automations.
• Moved to non-deprecated HomeKit trigger predicates under the hood.

Version 1.0.4

May 2026

New look

• Brand-new app icon built with Icon Composer.
• Custom menu bar icon.
• The About screen now shows the app icon and version.

Version 1.0.3

May 2026

• Fuller automation reads — automations get now surfaces trigger-owned hidden action sets, so you see the complete rule.
• The OpenClaw plugin now ships its compiled bundle for a clean one-step install.

Version 1.0.2

May 2026

App Store listing refresh

• Refreshed screenshots showing the new automation capabilities.
• Updated “What’s New” and subtitle (“CLI, MCP, and AI for HomeKit”).
• No functional changes versus 1.0.1.

Version 1.0.1

May 2026

Automations got more powerful

• Add conditions in place — automations add-condition tightens an existing automation without rebuilding it. Button bindings and Siri references survive.
• Time-of-day triggers — new automations create-time subcommand fires at a clock time or relative to the sun (--time-after sunrise+15). Composes with weekday gates and characteristic conditions.
• Auto-revert with --duration N — trigger fires actions, then reverts them after N seconds. Great for motion-triggered porch lights that should turn off after an hour.
