v2.1.0-beta.0

[regaw-leinad]

What’s New?

In this beta version, your Winix account token will automatically refresh in the background, meaning you no longer need to log in every 30 days to keep your air purifiers connected.

Key Features:

• Automatic Token Refresh: Once logged in, the plugin will handle the token renewal in the background. No more interruptions or manual re-authentication.
• Encrypted Password and Token Storage: Your account password and refresh token are securely stored on disk using encryption.

Important Beta Details:

• You’ll need to re-authorize your Winix account after updating to this beta version. This one-time step is required since we now securely store your password for the automatic token refresh process.
• Set your own encryption key: I strongly recommend setting the WINIX_ENCRYPTION_KEY environment variable when you start homebridge to your own custom encryption key to keep your stored data secure. If you don't set this, the plugin will use a default static key, which is less secure.
• If you're configuring the plugin manually or using HOOBS, check out the new encrypt-password script to securely store your password in the config file.

Please give it a try and share your feedback or report any issues you encounter 😅
