Nymea 1.7 release notes

Release time!

nymea 1.7 brings a new experience plugin: The air conditioning experience. The intention for this plugin is to automate the heating, cooling and air quality monitoring. It allows configuring time schedules for controlling heating/cooling thermostats, monitors relative humidity and air quality and warns when those leave an acceptable range by sending out push notifications to the user. It also monitors the windows for being opened and stops the heating during that period to not waste energy out of the window. While this plugin isn’t 100% feature complete yet (we have sooo many more ideas how to improve it even more) it has been in use by a couple of testers for this winter already and seems to do a decent job in keeping a warm and healthy home.

This release of nymea:app also drops support for the connection tabs at the bottom which we know some of you have been using, but they really didn’t fit in with the overall design. Instead, multiple connections can now be reordered in the main menu as a replacement.

nymea:core did get quite a bit of refactoring which will ease the implementation for upcoming new features already in the works. The logging mechanism has been changed to only print warnings by default and developers have better ways to quickly set the desired logging level during development.
The plugin API got some new features which will make setting up of things easier to do.

In terms of new device/service support, this release brings support for the Shelly Plus 2PM, the Shelly Plus Plug models.
New Zigbee devices were added: Osram lightify remote controls, a variety of Tuya Zigbee and Lumi devices.

Nymea also was added to notify.events as a notification source while we’ve added support to send push notifications to notify.events.


The following new devices using the modbus protocol were added: Senseair S8 air quality sensor and the Heidelberg/Amperfied Wallboxes

Enjoy the release.
