v2.0.0 Release Notes

Homebridge Plugin Architecture Change

  • Dynamic Platform Plugin: The plugin architecture has changed from the legacy "Accessory Plugin" to a "Dynamic Platform Plugin". This new architecture allows the plugin to add and remove devices at runtime, without the user having to make configuration changes and restarting Homebridge.

Dynamic Device Discovery

  • Automatically Discovers Devices: The plugin now dynamically discovers and configures your Winix air purifiers directly from your linked Winix account, eliminating the need for manual device entry - just link your Winix account in the setup.
  • Automatic Device Updates: Keeps your devices up to date within Homebridge based on a user-defined interval, ensuring that any changes in your Winix account (like adding or removing devices) are accurately reflected.

Filter Management Features

  • Filter Life Monitoring: You can now monitor the filter life of your purifiers directly from the Home app, giving you a clear view of your filter's usage and remaining lifespan.
  • Filter Replacement Alerts: The plugin will alert you when it's time to replace your purifier's filter, helping you maintain optimal air quality and device performance.

Other Noteworthy Features

  • Custom Device Naming: Customize the names of your devices and their associated properties
  • Enhanced API Stability: Improved error handling and communication stability with Winix devices
