Check out what’s new, even better or just fixed in the Phoscon App and deCONZ.

Currently under development

deCONZ v2.27.1 beta

2024-05-28

This beta release is the successor of v2.27.0 version.

Changes

The detailed changelog can be found at GitHub release page v2.27.1.

Phoscon App v1.8.56

2024-05-27

This release is the successor of Phoscon App v1.8.55 version.

Changes

deCONZ v2.27.0 beta

2024-05-15

This beta release is the successor of v2.26.3 version.

Changes

deCONZ is now Open Source

Since 2012 the deCONZ core application, aka the GUI that runs the REST-API plugin was Closed Source and is now released as Open Source in the GIT repository. This is the first release build from that repository. Reach out to the repository description to read about the goals and future development path of deCONZ.

DDF Bundle Support

The second big change is the new DDF bundles feature as tech preview.

This brings:

For example: When a new device gets supported or updated you only need to upload one DDF bundle with file extension .ddf via Phoscon App or REST-API. It is picket up right away for respective devices. No need to update or even restart deCONZ.

This release only has a rudimentary User Interface in the Phoscon App to upload new DDF bundles. This will be extended to provide more easily accessible control available already via REST-API.

There are also new Web based community projects as https://deconz-community.github.io/ddf-tools in development to tinker with and search for DDF bundles, which will play an important role soon.

For more technical under the hood details and what the fuzz is about please visit #7750.

Work in Progress: There is one notable limitation that switches which depend on button_maps.json aren’t handled fully by bundles yet, this will be resolved soon.

Note for Developers: From the workflow perspective how to edit DDFs, this still works as before by editing the usual JSON files. These are also shipped as before in the devices/ directory. Via REST-API a device can be instructed to use bundles or raw JSON files with hot-reload. The bundles themself are build by CI in PRs.

Device Support

The detailed changelog can be found at GitHub release page v2.27.0.

Phoscon App v1.8.55

2024-03-28

This release is the successor of Phoscon App v1.8.0 version.

Changes

deCONZ v2.26.3 stable

2024-03-27

This stable release is the successor of v2.26.2 version.

Changes

The detailed changelog can be found at GitHub release page v2.26.3.

deCONZ v2.26.2 beta

2024-03-24

This beta release is the successor of v2.26.1 version.

Changes

Upcoming v2.27.0-beta

The next beta release is cooking behind the curtains and contains larger refactoring on how Device Description Files (DDF) are loaded and initial beta support for DDF bundles. These are an evolution of how device integrations are currently distributed.

For example, if in a deCONZ setup running via Home Assistant add-on you want to use a freshly created device integration for some device, currently this requires waiting for a new deCONZ release. With DDF bundles this becomes independent of the deCONZ release cadence: And just one small file for the new device needs to be uploaded (via REST-API / web UI).

The idea is, that if a new device is added, or a bug is fixed for a device, users can test it right away and also revert back easily.

The detailed changelog can be found at GitHub release page v2.26.2.

deCONZ v2.26.1 beta

2024-02-27

This beta release is the successor of v2.26.0 version.

Changes

New Phoscon App Automations feature (BETA)

ConBee II Zigbee firmware

The sources for the firmware have been ported to build via GCC instead of IAR compiler in a modern environment. This allows to use better tools like static analyzers to fix bugs. And more importantly using a debugger directly with the device. It’s been a while since the last ConBee II firmware was released, a new one is scheduled to fix a few bugs and support Install Codes without hacks.

The detailed changelog can be found at GitHub release page v2.26.1.
