🚧 Changes:

For all changes, see the full commit log.

Major changes:

  • implemented support to install RaspberryMatic as a full-fledged add-on under Home Assistant. RaspberryMatic can now be installed as an Add-on under Home Assistant OS, allowing to run other integrations and add-ons in parallel rather than exclusively using a single system for RaspberryMatic only (cf. documentation, #1087).
    Please note: The Home Assistant add-on implementation of RaspberryMatic is still in beta quality. Furthermore, due to the restrictive docker-based nature of Home Assistant, some of the features require additional operating system modules which are not yet available. This currently limits the HomeMatic/homematicIP connectivity to the use of the HmIP-RFUSB, HM-LGW-O-TW-W-EU, HM-CFG-USB-2, HM-CFG-LAN and HMW-LGW-O-DR-GS-EU gateway hardware. Support for e.g. the GPIO-based RF modules (RPI-RF-MOD, HM-MOD-RPI-PCB) is currently under development (see #1087).
  • implemented basic support to run RaspberryMatic in Docker or Open Container Initiative (OCI) based environments. Now, RaspberryMatic can run in existing amd64, aarch64 or armhf environments (e.g. Linux, Windows, etc.) on which Docker can be installed and used to run virtual appliances (cf. documentation, #786, @angelnu).
  • added basic support for installing the new RaspberryMatic docker implementation in Kubernetes/K8s driven environments including integration of the respective Helm Charts on ArtifactHub for installing it in a package manager type of fashion. (cf. documentation, @angelnu).
  • Added support for the HB-RF-ETH adapter PCB allowing to connect a RPI-RF-MOD/HM-MOD-RPI-PCB via Ethernet/LAN to RaspberryMatic (cf. https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=60150). This PCB – kindly developed by @alexreinert – allows to put the required HomeMatic/homematicIP RF module somewhere in the local network and connect it to RaspberryMatic via its ip address. For the basic setup in RaspberryMatic, a new config file (/etc/config/hb_rf_eth) have to be created containing the local ip address of the running HB-RF-ETH. After reboot RaspberryMatic should then automatically try to connect to the HB-RF-ETH using it as the respective RF module gateway (#873).
    Please note: Support for the HB-RF-ETH is still experimental. Due to development dependencies, the kernel driver and the firmware of the HB-RF-ETH have a strong dependency. Therefore, any future firmware update applied to the HB-RF-ETH should be carefully cross-checked to the used RaspberryMatic version and the used kernel driver version. Thus, the hb-rf-eth kernel driver in this version is based on 1.14, which is known to be compatible up to HB-RF-ETH firmware version 1.2.9.

CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

  • updated OCCU version to 3.55.10-2 integrating full compatibility to the CCU3 3.55.10 firmware which comes with the following minor changes:
    • some config parameters of HomeMatic or homematicIP devices could not be edited correctly.
    • correction of the default config values of the HmIP-SCTH230.
  • integrated support for the HB-RF-ETH in the Monit-Watchdog. Now a WatchDog alarm will be automatically raised as soon as the HB-RF-ETH is identified as not running for more than 13 seconds.
  • enabled Adapter.Local.Device.Enabled in case a RPI-RF-MOD is used. This will bring up an additional device for the RF module which will allow to show up the DutyCycle and CarrierSense parameters.
  • added a Carrier Sense monitoring. Now, if an RPI-RF-MOD, HmIP-CCU3 or HmIP-HAP device is found to be present its CARRIER_SENSE_LEVEL parameter is queried and in case it reaches >80% a warning is added to the syslog. Furthermore, if the carrier sense level reaches >= 98% a "CarrierSense-Alarm" is triggered so that users are notified.
  • updated generic_raw_uart package to lastest master commit.
  • updated detect_radio_module tool to latest version potentially fixing issue in recognition of modules.
  • fixed /bin/hm_autoconf to use latin1/iso-8859-1 encoding to be more compatible to ReGaHss internals.
  • modified the DutyCycle display and monitoring by adding support to show the DutyCycle of HmIP-HAP gateways on the main start page and also adapted the used progress bar class with a more reliable class displaying the bar with correct values and to display DC bars for up to 15 gateways. Furthermore, DC alarms will also be triggered now for the HmIP-HAP and also the availability of HmIPW-DRAP gateways will now be monitored and an alarm will be triggered in case an associated HmIPW-DRAP is not reachable anymore (#1019, #605, @jp112sdl).
  • fixed the multimacd Monit-WatchDog check to use /var/etc/multimacd.conf rather than /dev/eq3loop.
  • implemented a new mechanisms to set a custom storage path for e.g. storing the diagrams and nightly backup in a user configurable path. Now users can set an own path in /etc/config/CustomStoragePath which should be used as a storage. This should allow to specify, e.g. a network path or a path on an external storage drive, which is not as problematic as storing this regularly changed data on a microSD card device. Thus, by configuring this custom storage path, no external USB media is necessary anymore (#914).

WebUI changes:

  • modified 0088-WebUI-Fix-MissingJSONMethods WebUI Bugfix Patch to include another missing JSON method file (/www/api/methods/ccu/getversion.tcl) which prevented the CCU.getVersion JSON API method to work correctly (#1123).
  • modified 0097-WebUI-SetSysvarValueByUser WebUI patch and integrated a fix when trying to modify the content of system variables so that the reserved ' and \ characters are properly stripped now. (#1111, @jp112sdl).
  • modified 0001-RaspberryMatic WebUI patch to not use top.window.location.href but use window.location.href instead. This should allow to have the RaspberryMatic WebUI more easily embedded in framed environments on other pages.
  • added new 0110-WebUI-Fix-cp_software-Typo WebUI bugfix patch fixing a typo in cp_software.cgi (cf. eq-3/occu#110).
  • added new 0109-WebUI-Fix-SystemLanguageDefaultNames WebUI bugfix patch which fixes issues with just internally used ${...} placeholders being exported to the external APIs (e.g. XML-RPC, JSON-RPC, ReGa-scripting, etc.). This issue is known as "Klarnamenbug" and is now fixed by letting users select a global "system language" that is then used once to rename these internal placeholders (rooms, functions, system variables) to the user selected system language (#1070, @jp112sdl).
  • modified 0001-RaspberryMatic and 0012-WebUI-RecoveryButton WebUI patches to disable unnecessary WebUI features if running in a Docker/OCI environment (#1093).
  • modified 0039-WebUI-Fix-Style-Glitches WebUI patch to use a <br/> in the "Baumstruktur öffnen" Button for a more smooth display.
  • added new 0108-WebUI-ShowInvisibleHmIPChannelsInPrograms WebUI patch which allows to select non-visible HmIP channels in programs (in the condition and activity part) to be more in line to the official WebUI documentation.
  • added new 0107-WebUI-Fix-rgbw.fn-CheckMetaDataIsNotNULL WebUI bugfix patch which fixes ScriptRuntimeError messages when showing the config elements of RGB color chooser elements (#1052, @jp112sdl).
  • added new 0106-WebUI-Improvement-TreatOPERATOR_NONEasOPERATOR_OR WebUI patch which allows to correctly edit WebUI programs of internal system programs as well (#462, @jp112sdl).
  • added new 0105-WebUI-Fix-DeviceInBoxHmIPOnly WebUI bugfix patch which fixes false error messages when only using a HmIP-RFUSB, thus only having HmIP teach-in mode available. There, the teach-in mode always complained about not being able to start
    the old BidCos-RF (HomeMatic) mode (#372).
  • added new 0104-WebUI-Add-AssignFunctionAndRoomToHmRFChan0 WebUI patch which will display all channel :0 maintenane channels per default to allow to assign it to rooms and functions more easily (#976, @jp112sdl).
  • added new 0102-WebUI-Fix-TrailingNewLineInFirewallIPTextarea WebUI Bugfix Patch which ensures that within the IP address text area whitespaces are trimmed accordingly (#1038, @jp112sdl).

🚧 Changes:

CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

  • integrated update of OCCU firmware to 3.55.5-1 version with full compatibility to the CCU3 3.55.5 firmware which comes with the following changes:
    • added support for new Homematic IP CO2-Sensor, 230V (HmIP-SCTH230 – ELV) device
    • added support for new Homematic IP Wired Fußbodenheizungscontroller (HmIPW-FALMOT-C12) device.
    • added support for new Homematic IP Feinstaubsensor (HmIP-SFD – ELV) device.
    • the default delivered HmIP-HAP firmware was bumped to 2.2.18 and the HmIPW-DRAP firmware was bumped to 2.2.16 on the CCU.
    • upon identifying a new HmIP-HAP/HmIPW-DRAP firmware, the start page will show a notification as well now.
    • unified the WebUI to perform the same way for a HmIP-HAP and HmIPW-DRAP firmware update.
    • upcoming firmware updates can now be directly downloaded and installed without manual file download+upload.
    • added possibility to switch on an automatic HTTP => HTTPS redirection for the WebUI to potentially improve connection security.
    • fixed problem with setup of the emergency heating/cooling mode when using a HmIP-FALMOT-C12 / HmIPW-FALMOT-C12.
    • fixed the display of the valve opening numbers in case of 0% where previously only "-" was displayed.
    • fixed problems when using the table filter functions to filter by functions.
    • fixed problem that the device firmware overview WebUI page was not refreshed automatically after a firmware update of a HmIPW-DRAP.
  • changed cronBackup.sh to make sure a .nobackup file is present in BACKUPDIR so that the directory itself won't be part of any further system backup job whatsoever (cf. https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=62833)
  • fixed CloudMatic reverse proxy functionality which was broken for the 64bit platforms since no nginx/zabbix_agentd binaries were copied.
  • updated NEO Server Addon package to latest 2.6.0 version.

WebUI changes:

  • added new 0095-WebUI-userSysVarTblMoveUpDown WebUI patch adding up/down buttons in user favorite system variable table to manually change the order (#1000, @jp112sdl).
  • added new 0096-WebUI-AdditionalSoftwareSortedList WebUI patch which will show the list of install CCU Addons in an alphabetical order (#1003, @jp112sdl).
  • added new 0097-WebUI-SetSysvarValueByUser WebUI patch that will allow to edit the values/content of any system variable in the system variable configuration dialog (#1004, @jp112sdl).
  • added new 0098-WebUI-Fix-ProofAndSetValue WebUI Bugfix patch that fixes a recently introduced issue in OCCU 3.55.5 which prevented the modification of device parameters in the WebUI (cf. https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=63496&p=626052#p625986).
  • added new 0099-WebUI-Add-DeviceRenameAllChannels WebUI patch which introduces a new functionality in the device parameters dialog allowing to rename all channels of a device with a single operation (#1020, @jp112sdl).
  • enhanced the 0072-WebUI-Fix-hm_autoconf WebUI Bugfix patch to also introduce a fix for creating the default system variable in case no radio module was connected on first/initial startup (#1021, #861, @alexreinert).
  • added new 0100-WebUI-Fix-CreateDirectLink-GroupDescription-Translation WebUI Bugfix Patch which fixes not translated values in the direct link group setup (#1025, @jp112sdl).

Operating system changes:

  • added BR2_PACKAGE_LIBUV and BR2_PACKAGE_C_ARES to multilib32 package so that we have the necessary dependencies to get the mosquitto ccu addon running again (cf. https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=62825)
  • adapted usbmount.rules in /lib/udev so that we prevent bootfs/rootfs/userfs to be accidentally mounted in case the partuuid is somewhat screwed and thus the usbmount prg might be run and then end up mounting the main media twice (cf. https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=62833)
  • upon factory reset operation we make sure to force the PARTUUID to 0xDEEDBEEF under all circumstances even if no repartitioning is necessary. This should fix cases where due to certain misconfigurations the PARTUUID changes and thus misbehaviour might result. Thus, a factory reset operation now also resets the PARTUUID and not only reformats userfs (cf. https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=62833)
  • added "Country=DE" to default wpa_supplicant.conf config template so that it will be correctly setup when using /boot/SetupWIFI. In addition, wpa_cli can now also be used because we allow config updates per default (#997).
  • changed multimacd startup script to stop multimacd by using a PIDFILE check instead.
  • upon shutdown/reboot we make sure to put the RF module into bootloader mode or otherwise it might still handle incoming RF packages.
  • added Include statements to our default sshd_config/ssh_config files so that user configuration options can be put into the user configurable /usr/local/etc/ssh directory structure.
  • we force proper permissions for /usr/local/etc as well as /usr/local/etc/ssh and a potential authorized_keys file to prevent users from a potential misconfiguration where sshd might complain about invalid directory permissions (cf. https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=622935#p622937).
  • use BR2_x86_corei7=y for our intelnuc builds since IntelNUC systems always have SSE until SSE4.2. Thus, we should be able to profit from using more cpu features matching what is used in IntelNUC systems.
  • added new rpi-eeprom buildroot package which will generate the necessary pieeprom.upd/.sig files which we can put into the bootfs partition of the rpi4 image so that a rpi4 (if booted from USB) will be able to update its EEPROM immediately (home-assistant/operating-system#939).
  • added /etc/rc.init symlink to /usr/local/etc/rc.init to provide an additional hint that by creating this file in /usr/local things can be added that should be executed as early (during init) as possible.
  • updated RaspberryPi4 related linux kernel and u-boot bootloader patches which finally allows to use USB connected mass storage devices (USB stick, SSD disk) to boot RaspberryMatic without any SD card (#842).
  • added support for RaspberryPi4 Compute Module as well as for the new RaspberryPi400.
  • updated Raspberry Pi kernel+firmware to latest kernel 5.4.83 LTS version with improved RaspberryPi4 support and updated all other platform kernels to 5.4.84 LTS.
  • updated Busybox.config and removed all unnecessary busybox commands that are already provided by util-linux which we also ship.
  • updated buildroot/Linux environment to latest 2020.11 version.
  • updated JAVA version for aarch32hf to latest 8.50.51.263-ca-jdk8.0.275 LTS.
  • added support for LSI53C10XX SCSI controller commonly used in VMs (home-assistant/operating-system#1060).
  • updated generic_raw_uart package to lastest master commit.

🚧 Changes:

CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

  • integrated update of OCCU firmware to 3.53.34-3 version with full compatibility to the CCU3 3.53.34 firmware which comes with the following changes:
    • updated ReGaHss logic engine R1.00.0388.0226 (Nov 2 2020) version with the following changes:
      • fixed a bug within the new delayed State() functionality where State(x, 0, true/false) executions resulted in ScriptRuntimeErrors and where the retrigger argument didn't have the same defaults like old, plain State(x) executions (#942).
      • fixed a bug where x.DPArchive() could only be used in case a DP has been previously set visible using x.Visible(). Now both method should work completely independent as expected (#948).
      • fixed a recently created issue in system.Exec() which created never cleared zombie processed in case a command is executed in background mode using the "&" character (https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=61454&p=613916#p613916).
      • fixed issue in system.Exec() which resulted in permanently opened stdin pipes which could result in ReGaHss running out of file descriptors in long turn.
    • Added a more descriptive display of data points in diagrams using "mouseover" events.
    • Fixed the formating of dialogs for the settings of the pump-protecting functionality when editing direct connectios of a HmIP-FAL device.
    • Fixed false-positive warning outputs in the HmIPServer Logfile (NoSuchDeviceException in LegacyNotificationHandler).
    • Fixed issues when dimming of wired dimm actors via HmIP RF remote controls.
    • Fixed Bargraph based DutyCycle display when using LAN gateways.
    • Fixed issue that configuring dimm channels (6,7,8) of a HmIP-MP3P didn't correctly submit the shutdown duration to the device.
  • Fixed the setup of a .nobackup file in the NEO Server CCU Addon environment so that it definitly won't be part of any system backup.
  • reworked the /bin/checkUsrBackup.sh script to correctly deal with cases where no RF module or no HmIP-capable RF module is installed so that no error message is returned from it due to the fact that we can't check the HmIP validity of the backup using the RF module routines in HMIPServer (#890).
  • Fixed issue where upon performing a factory reset with a HM-MOD-RPI-PCB left the .doCoproFactoryResetfile in the system config.
  • integrated changes to check for the existence of a RPI-RF-MOD module and in case it does not exist we disable the Advanced LAN Routing features in HMIPServer which are only available with a RPI-RF-MOD with 4.2.x copro firmware. In addition, we show a WebUI popup warning in case a user without a RPI-RF-MOD tries to use functionality that requires the Advanced LAN Routing functionality. This should also fix error messages in hmserver.log about the non working lanrouting (see
    https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=61869&p=612555#p612555).
  • added a dynamic maximum heap size calculation for the startup of HMIPServer.jar. This should help to potentially reduce java garbage collection. In fact, this could help to slightly improve performance of HMIPServer in environments with enough memory available.

WebUI changes:

  • enhanced the 0085-WebUI-AddonPopupScrollable WebUI patch to also make the other popupTable uses in the control center of the WebUI scrollable so that popups will not end up off-screen anymore.
  • added a new 0086-WebUI-Fix-500Errors WebUI bugfix patch which will fix "Error 500" errors that occur due to to Ajax.Request() executions not being responded properly via "puts" exections (#959).
  • enhanced 0026-WebUI-Fix-CacheControl WebUI patch to get rid of all unnecessary ?_version_= options for our webui.js and jquery links.
  • added new 0087-WebUI-Fix-DoubleSIDs WebUI bugfix patch which should fix the false double additions of the ?sid=@xxxxx@ URL parameter when the LoadFromFile() methods are used in the cp_XXXXX.cgi WebUI interface files (#959).
  • adapted 0036-WebUI-AppleIcons WebUI patch to be somewhat more compatible to the latest changes to the CacheControl WebUI patch.
  • added new 0088-WebUI-Fix-MissingReportValueUsage WebUI/OCCU patch which should add the missing /www/api/methods/interface/reportvalueusage.tcl file in the general JSON RPC interface (#965).
  • integrated improvement for 0077-WebUI-NegateCondition WebUI patch which should use a more intuitive way to present the relatively new "not" negate functionality added to WebUI programs (#966).
  • added new 0090-WebUI-Add-ReGaSaveButton WebUI patch that adda a new button to explicitly save changes to the configuration without having to logout (#979, @jp112sdl)
  • added new 0091-WebUI-Add-HM-OU-LED16-LedStatus WebUI patch that adds the LED status of an HM-OU-LED16 in the WebUI (#985, @jp112sdl).
  • added new 0092-WebUI-Fix-DeviceReplacement WebUI patch that should fix the non working device replacement that is/was broken since several CCU firmware versions (#879, @jp112sdl).
  • added new 0093-WebUI-AllowAdminUserChanges WebUI patch that allows to remove the standard "Admin" user to be able to improve the general WebUI security (#987, @jp112sdl).
  • added new 0094-WebUI-userSysVarTblValuesWordWrap WebUI patch that fixes display issues in the WebUI favorite display when a enum-based system variable consisted of too long string values (#991, @jp112sdl).

Operating system changes:

  • Major update of the underlying Buildroot/Linux operating system towards a full-fledged 64bit kernel+environment. Now, 64bit supporting hardware systems like the RaspberryPi4, RaspberryPi3 (thus CCU3 / ELV-Charly) and the x86-based OVA/intelnuc platforms will be delivered as a 64bit OS image.
    IMPORTANT NOTICE:
    • Existing users of the OVA x86 platform should check with their virtualization environment that after the update to this 64bit version they switch the CPU/OS settings of the RaspberryMatic VM to a "64bit OS" template/CPU/environment so that the VM system can assign 64bit features to the virtual RaspberryMatic appliance.
    • Existing users with a RaspberryPi2 hardware have to reinstall their SD card from scratch due to the fact that from now on there are dedicated release archives for the rpi2 target (don't use the rpi3 anymore!). Thus, please create a fresh backup, reflash your SD card with the rpi2 image file and reinstall the backup accordingly. Afterwards you should have a working system again and have to use the rpi2 download archives in future.
    • While a 32bit binary compatibility layer had been integrated alongside the 64bit support and the standard list of third-party CCU Addon have been tested for compatibility, some third-party software or CCU Addon might run into issues with the new 64bit environment or should be ported/recompiled as a full 64bit application.
  • added ipv6 localhost and allnodes/allrouters definitions in /etc/hosts to improve IPv6 compatibility.
  • use umask in S06InitSystem and also make sure /etc/config/firmware exists as otherwise HMIPServer will complain.
  • modified WiFi network setup to check for a /boot/SetupWIFI file with SSID+Password on seperate lines. And in case it exists during bootup we generate the corresponding /etc/config/wpa_supplicant.conf file automatically. This should allow to setup a WIFI connection by just adding a file "SetupWIFI" to the FAT32-based boot partition (SSID in first line, Password on second line) and the WiFi connection should then be automatically started upon start.
  • disabled NETLINK monitoring for wlan0 interface monitoring via ifplugd because this caused issues in restarting ifplugd.
  • added -w option for ifplugd.eth0 startup so that we wait on fork of the daemon. This should prevent that we continue too fast on startup, resulting in the NTP and other services not having a properly working network connection (cf. https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=62143).
  • disabled all non working CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC kernel options and reenabled the regular cron-based systohc RTC clock synchronization using hwclock for an improved hardware clock management (#956).
  • integrated a new zram-based swap mechanism that is based on https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/zram-swap-config and which will setup a zram-based swap partition for general purpose use. This should slightly improve the general memory footprint and also potentially increase performance in critical memory situations.
  • added a -e 1 option to the bad blocks check so that the bad blocks check aborts immediately on the first bad bl...

🚧 Changes:

CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

  • integrated update of OCCU firmware to 3.53.30-2 version with full compatibility to the CCU3 3.53.30 firmware which comes with the following changes:
    • updated ReGaHss logic engine R1.00.0388.0224 (Sep 29 2020) version with the following changes:
      • fixed a zero-day issue in the internal script parser which didn't work correctly with nested method calls if the outer and inner method were allowed to take 2+ parameter. This created invalid runtime errors while the execution of these nested calls should have been perfectly valid (#922).
  • largely reworked/simplified the RF module initialisation/setup so that the new detect_radio_module tool kindly developed by @alexreinert is used while keeping the basic functionality to combine multiple RF modules for a shared DutyCycle use. In addition, the device type (HB-RF-USB, GPIO, etc.) will be put into a new variable in /var/hm_mode. Furthermore we now can correctly query a HM-MOD-RPI-PCB connected to a HB-RF-USB or HB-RF-USB-2 (#910, #911).
  • slightly increased the timeout for the RF module firmware update process so that a firmware update of the old HM-MOD-RPI-PCB is guaranteed to proceed in time.
  • fixed /etc/init.d/S06InitSystem to make sure a missing /usr/local/sdcard/measurement directory exists so that the cronjob and HMIPServer init script can copy the content of the /tmp/measurement to the permanent storage (#913).
  • integrated a new OCCU bugfix patch which will fix the BidCos-RF description file of the HM-OUT-CFM-TW device by using 0xA4 instead of 0x24 for the index of LONG_ACT_TYPE (#915, @jp112sdl).
  • integrated a fix for the Mediola NEO CCU Addon so that it will not be included in the standard system configuration backup since the Addon doesn't really contain any user configuration, thus can be omitted from being part of the backup.
  • added /usr/local/eQ-3-Backup to the standard paths being omitted from the system config backup. This should fix issues where upon switching from a CCU3 firmware to RaspberryMatic resulted in this path being part of the config backup.

WebUI changes:

  • added new 0080-WebUI-Fix-SideIncOpenTag WebUI patch to fix an invalid placed open tag < character in an emitted html statement in side.inc (@jp112sdl).
  • added new 0081-WebUI-Fix-DecalcificationTimeMinute00 WebUI patch fixing the selection of 00 minutes in the decalcification UI (#931, @jp112sdl).
  • added new 0082-WebUI-Fix-SetVisibilityScriptError WebUI patch fixing ScriptRuntimeError outputs resulting from trying to change the visibility based on the channel id of a device (#919, @jp112sdl).
  • added new 0083-WebUI-Fix-DeviceTestScriptError WebUI patch fixing ScriptRuntimeError outputs resulting from trying to apply a test on a device rather than on a single channel (#939, @jp112sdl).
  • slight improvement of 0038-WebUI-DeviceOverview-StatusColumn WebUI patch to check for a non existing rssiListHmRF variable as otherwise a js exception is raised in the WebUI.
  • added a new 0084-WebUI-Fix-InvalidObjectCrashes WebUI bugfix patch which should workaround/fix issues where the room view could not be displayed anymore if an added channel hasn't any valid linked device anymore (#944).
  • fixed a bug in the 0038-WebUI-DeviceOverview-StatusColumn WebUI patch which didn't return a valid JSON output for the new HmIP-RCV device in Interface.rssiInfo queries (#957).
  • integrated a new 0085-WebUI-AddonPopupScrollable WebUI patch which modifies the Addon maintenance/install popup so that the content of the popup will be scrollable. This should improve usability in case many addon packages are installed and thus the popup would have to be moved in multiple steps (#592, @jp112sdl).

Operating system changes:

  • added the missing E1000E package to get the network interface working again in the recovery system for the ova/intelnuc platform.
  • added more kernel config options to streamline all NUC hardware support somewhat more.
  • added buildroot patch to update ethtool to version 5.8 to fix the netlink error: No such file or directory error which appeared with 5.7 (cf. https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg659759.html).
  • added HyperV-PCI kernel config options to optimize use of the OVA variants in HyperV setups.
  • enabled drivers for Intel Network devices with Virtual Function for OVA platform.
  • added a commented out dtparam=sd_poll_once=on entry in /boot/config.txt to let users know how to poll only once for a missing sd card in case USB drive boot is used with a RaspberryPi.
  • integrated a minor fix for the /bin/updateTZ.sh script which should catch rare cases where an empty /etc/config/TZ file could have caused a situation of an invalid /etc/config/localtime symlinking. In addition, updateTZ.sh will now only update files in /etc/config in case something was actually changed. This should omit write operations upon startup. (cf. https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=61426).
  • added support for Intel NUC6CAYH model which stalled upon bootup due to issues with the i915 DRM driver. Now we completely omit the DRM driver and just rely on stupid framebuffer devices for a HDMI debug output. In addition, more IWLWIFI firmwares were added so that also the wifi of the NUC6CAYH should be supported now (#930).
  • fixed an issue with OS time synchronisation which didn't work correctly anymore as soon as a network link up/down event was identified during runtime. This caused the RTC time to be read out regularly instead which also was incorrectly written back by the NTP because it was written in local time rather than in UTC time.
  • slightly reworked the eQ3StartNetwork and eQ3StopNetwork ifup/ifdown scripts to deal better with static IP address setups which could explain certain issues people were having with not having a link available during bootup (#471).
  • modified the standard .ovf template file to use ovf:id=99 in OperatingSystemSection so that a 2.x/3.x/4.x Linux system is assumed and thus VMXNET3 can be manually selected as a network interface in vmWare ESXi (https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=61792)
  • fixed issue where upon an unclean shutdown the corresponding status file was not correctly cleared and thus the log file was continued to be filled with unclean shutdown events (#955).
  • integrated a fix for S01InitHost in the recovery system where could happen that at the time the lsblk command is executed the partuuid could not be extracted yet, thus we retrieve the mmcX string using the mountpoint only.
  • we now store DHCP provided NTP server addresses in /var/etc/ntp-dhcp.conf and use this file in the chrony/NTP server startup and add these servers as local NTP servers to the complete NTP server list. This should further improve the NTP server setup in user environments where the NTP server address equals the central router and where this router provides his own address as a valid NTP server.
  • updated U-Boot bootloader for all supported target platforms (RaspberryPi, Tinkerboard) to latest 2020.10 version.
  • updated buildroot/Linux environment to latest 2020.08.1 version.
  • updated Linux kernel versions to new major LTS 5.4.x version (5.4.70) for all supported platforms.
  • updated Raspberry Pi kernel+firmware to latest 1.20200902 version

🚧 Changes:

CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

  • major update of OCCU firmware to 3.53.30-1 version with full compatibility to the CCU3 3.53.30 firmware which comes with the following changes:

    • Integration of HmIP-WRC2 (Homematic IP Wandtaster – flach)
    • Integration of HmIPW-WRC2 (Homematic IP Wired Wandtaster – 2-fach)
    • Integration of HmIPW-BRC2 (Homematic IP Wired Wandtaster für Markenschalter – 2-fach)
    • Integration of HmIP-DRSI1 (Homematic IP Schaltaktor für Hutschienenmontage)
    • Major Update for improved homematicIP LAN routing functionality:
      With the following LAN-routing changes it is now possible to connect up to two HmIP-HAP and/or HmIPW-DRAP systems to a single CCU. This allows to enhance the overall homematicIP device reachability and even have distributed HmIP-Wired installations in one house combined:
      • Integration of Homematic IP Access Point (HmIP-HAP) as a homematic IP LAN gateway:
        It is now possible to connect a Homematic IP Access Point (HmIP-HAP) as a "Homematic IP LAN Gateway" to a CCU. For this a firmware update for HmIP-HAP is integrated into the CCU firmware and can be applied via Systemsteuerung > Access Points mit inkompatibler Firmware now.
      • Major firmware update for Homematic IP Wired Access Points (HmIPW-DRAP):
        Due to major improvements in HmIP LAN Routing a HmIPW-DRAP with firmware version < 2.1 have to be forcefully updated. For this a new wizard had been added to the WebUI which will guide users to the firmware update process for a HmIPW-DRAP.
    • HmIPW-DRAP and HmIP-HAP devices will now be added as normal devices and are accessible via Einstellungen > Geräte and Status und Bedienung.
    • With the device firmware version >= 1.6.0 for the HmIPW-DRBL4 and HmIP-DRBLI4 it is now possible to switch outputs so that in case of switched connections/installations they can be swapped via software accordingly. In addition, the new firmware also allows to dynamically switch between shutter and blind mode without having to manually adapt direct connections anymore.
    • The virtual HmIP remote control device had been renamed to HmIP-RCV-1.
      Please note: This change could require to adapt own scripts/programs to use the new naming in case the virtual remote control channels had been previously accessed via names.
    • Improvements of the service messages for HmIP-FALx integrated.
    • The filtering of parameters in the legacyAPI of HmIPServer is now also for events possible.
    • The multicast-routing can now be disabled for certain devices (e.g. HmIP-PSM).
    • On a fresh/clean CCU installation, the WebUI auto-login feature is now disabled per default.
    • Added a new button under Systemsteuerung to explicitly search for and update incompatible firmware versions (< 2.1.0) for HmIP-HAP and HmIPW-DRAP devices.
    • HmIP RF actors should now be faster available after a fresh CCU reboot.
    • A warning message had been added to the device detail display in case a device is part of a heating group and should be configured within the group settings instead.
    • The maximum alarm time for a HmIP-ASIR was changed to 600s.
    • Direct connections for the virtual remote control (HmIP-RCV-50) were not displayed in the WebUI.
    • It is now possible to switch between "Auto" and "Manu" mode for linked heating devices in WebUI programs.
    • It is now possible to add direct connections for a HmIP-ASIR/-O/B1/-2 to sensors of type CONDITION_SWITCH_TRANSMITTER (e.g. HmIP-SLO).
    • If a lot of rooms/functions were added, the "OK" button of filter dialogs could not be reached anymore. These dialogs can now be moved using a mouse event in the WebUI.
    • Fixed the sorting direction in the WebUI system protocol which changed with each update of the system protocol view.
    • A parser error was fixed in the XMLRPC interface of the LegacyAPI of the HMIPServer component if within a struct empty strings with string tags were provided.
    • Fixed a problem that in case a backup of a CCU2 was restored the virtual remote control device disappeared.
    • Some channels of devices were classified as "Fensterkontakt". This had been changed to plain "Kontakt" now.
    • The misleading description for the device config parameter "Zyklische Statusmeldung" were adapted to be more easily understandable.
    • Under certain circumstances, the status value for LOWBAT channel parameters were delivered with a wrong datatype for channel 0 of virtual group devices.
    • The minimal value for the device config parameter "Filterzeitraum" of sensors were changed to 500ms because smaller values could lead to the devices not working correctly anymore.
    • The maximal value for the device config parameter "Entkalkungsfahrt" for HmIP(W)-FALxCx devices were changed to 24 days.
    • Fixed incorrect service messages that could appear in some rare cases when using HmIP(W)-FALx-Cx devices.

    In addition, the following changes upon the CCU3 3.53.30 Firmware had been integrated in OCCU 3.53.30-1:

    • updated ReGaHss logic engine R1.00.0388.0223 (Aug 27 2020) version with the following changes:
      • fixed an issue in system.Exec() where upon executing a system command that waits for stdin input could block ReGaHss execution endlessly. In addition, system.Exec() accepts an additional 4th parameter now to specify the content of stdin. This 4th optional parameter can be be e.g. used to supply information to the command execution in case a non background command is being executed (#847).
      • implemented an additional optional parameter to dom.GetObject() which will take the desired object type (e.g. OT_DEVICE, OT_CHANNEL, etc.) of a request object name or id and only return the object in question if the object type is also matched. This should allow to workaround the issue that if there are two objects with the same name but different object types, that the object can still be retrieved via dom.GetObject() which were not possible before (#876).
      • fixed issue with break and continue statements which could not be used after a nested foreach() or while() loop and only worked within the first level of a loop (#878).
      • fixed issue that the .ToFloat() function was only allowed for variables of type string while others like .ToInteger() were allowed for all vtXXX object types. This change should, thus, allow to more generally use the var datatype and always use .ToFloat() without having to forcefully convert the variable to a string type before (#883).
      • fixed a bunch of incorrect case sensitive string comparison checks to actually perform case insensitive matches because, e.g. the RFCs of HTTP protocol defines them to be case-insensitive. This should make all the HTTP related interfaces more tolerable according to the specs.
      • implemented the possibility to send RemoteApi requests also UTF-8 encoded using a Content-Type: xxx; charset=utf8 request header. If found ReGa will automatically convert the content then to ISO-8859-1 internally before using it. This should help to send RemoteApi calls using the tclrega.exe interface easier in case only utf8 encoding is possible.
      • fixed the request header parsing to actually only parse the potential header part of the request because otherwise the request content could have influenced header option evaluation.
      • fixed some severe buffer overflow issues in the internal string format routines which were mainly used by the remote API xml output functionality and which under certain circumstances could result in invalid xml output being returned (#870).
      • fixed the delayed State() functionality to also work with OT_CHANNEL and OT_PROGRAM objects which were just outputting error messages and not executing the specified delayed State() change.

  • updated NEOserver package to latest 2.5.6 version.

  • integrated full support for HB-RF-USB-2 adapter PCB to connect a RPI-RF-MOD or HM-MOD-RPI-PCB via USB to a RaspberryPi/TinkerBoard or virtual OVA based RaspberryMatic system. Many thanks go to @alexreinert for developing this nice adapter PCB and for the ongoing support in integrating it nicely into RaspberryMatic.

  • fixed an issue in the main S11InitRFHardware startup script which didn't query/store all RF module related information correctly which in fact could end up in using an incorrect BidCos RF module address on a fresh/clean installation (#900).

WebUI changes:

  • updated 0073-WebUI-AstroDelays WebUI patch to use somewhat more verbose text phrases in the time module config window so that the Offset/Duration setting should become more obvious to standard users. Thanks to Ralf Penzler for the suggested text phrases.
  • simplified the 0076-WebUI-Fix-SuperCharScriptUse WebUI bugfix patch to use string concatenation to solve the ^ char issue rather than using a meta string to search+replace the ^ char in the WebUI script edi...

🚧 Changes:

CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

  • updated OCCU firmware to 3.51.6-7 version which comes with the following changes:
    • updated ReGaHss logic engine R1.00.0388.0219 (Jun 19 2020) version with the following changes:

      • partly reverted the previous super string (^) escaping fix as it proofed to produce some regressions. Instead the escaping of standard strings was improved to also allow string escaping like "\\\\" which previously produced syntax errors (#225).

        Please note: This change introduces a breaking change regarding backlash escaping in strings used in user scripts. While previously, a string like \\" was incorrectly interpreted as \", the new fixed parser now correctly requires that each backslash use is properly escaped or otherwise a syntax error is raised. Thus, to create a string \" one has to correctly use three (3) backslashes, thus \\\" now. As an alternative, a user can/should use the char ' as the outer quotation mark or use a raw/super string like ^\"^.

    • fixed a bug in the xmlparser library which didn't use case insensitive comparisons to identify closing clear tags. This caused issues so that no script variable 'pre' or 'script' could be used in the tcl<>rega script interfaces and thus not in the WebUI script editor environment (#230).
  • fixed a bug where a HM-MOD-RPI-PCB connected to a HB-RF-USB/HB-RF-USB-2 didn't initialise correctly in an OVA environment due to omitting the rf module reset. Now we make sure that if a HB-RF-USB/HB-RF-USB-2 is used the rf module will be reset under all circumstances. In addition we use timeout 20 commands on all major rf module query commands so that any potentially stalling query command might not completely stall a bootup anymore (thanks to @alexreinert for the hint).

WebUI changes:

  • integrated a new WebUI bugfix patch which fixes a crash bug when creating new rooms/functions in the WebUI. There two event handlers were called at the same time resulting in an undefined html element exception could have resulted in a crashed browser session (#855).
  • added a new WebUI bugfix patch which should fix a WebUI stalling or miss-display if a user favorite added system variable contained various HTML tags which on one hand displayed correctly on the normal system variable display but failed when a user added this system variable to his user favorite display on the main startpage (#856).
  • implemented a new WebUI bugfix patch which will finally fix using a ^character in the WebUI script editor. Previously, the WebUI script editor didn't allow to use the ^ character in the editor window or at least didn't allow to save any script containing any ^ character. This was caused, because the script editor functionality uses the raw/super string functionality of ReGaHss and thus ^ chars are usually not allowed. Now, a meta escape sequence @$@% is used internally to replace the ^char when supplied to the internal esp function and then unescaped automatically (#225).

Operating system changes:

  • fixed monit temperature check to also catch cases where the thermal_zone0/temp sysfs node might exist but actually returns an error when trying to read the temp from it. Now a value of 0 should also be returned for this case.
  • added missing CONFIG_BCM2711_THERMAL kernel config option which was the reason why the temperature watchdog couldn't identify the current CPU temperature using the thermal_zone0/temp sysfs entry when using a RaspberryPi4.
  • removed hdmi_force_hotplug=1 from raspberrypi4 config.txt because newer firmwares don't require this workaround anymore. Thus, by having it removed the HDMI port will automatically be switched off like for the other rpi targets, potentially reducing RF interferences.
  • added an additional tvservice check to S01InitHost so that we also catch situations where tvservice -s might not be able to return correct HDMI connection information but tvservice -l properly shows if a HDMI cable was connected during boot or not. Thus, disabling HDMI should be more reliable now when booting a rpi without a HDMI cable attached.

🚧 Changes:

CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

  • updated OCCU firmware to 3.51.6-5 version which comes with the following changes:
    • updated ReGaHss logic engine R1.00.0388.0218 (Jun 9 2020) version with the following changes:
      • fixed the parsing/escaping of the super string (^) for being able to define strings without having to escape single or double quotations (#225).
      • implemented a functionality to specify an offset time and duration for the sunrise/sunset astro functions. Now TimeSeconds() and CalDuration() can be used together with all already existing SunOffsetType() values to specify the offset and duration accordingly. Note, that to specify a negative time offset one has to use the sotBeforeSunXXXX rather than sotAfterSunXXX with SunOffsetType(). Furthermore, a pure sotSunrise or sotSunset timer offset will always use a timer offset of zero.
      • integrated a fix for certain @time@ strings which did not convert supplied times correctly because they should have assumed local time instead.
      • replaced all gettimeofday()/time() calls with proper clock_gettime() uses as e.g. gettimeofday() was defined obsolete in POSIX 2008. In addition, we use CLOCK_MONOTONIC where relative time calculations are performed so that time operatins are more immune to time changes. This change should slightly improve timer reliability in case of time changes performed by users or other applications.
      • fixed some potential undefined string copy operations.
      • fixed a minor potential crash bug in low memory conditions.
  • updated integrated mediola NEO SERVER CCU-Addon package version to latest 2.5.3.
  • slightly improved RPI-RF-MOD recognition by checking for 0x..ffff rather than 0x00ffff because newer models seem to have different address ids than expected (cf. alexreinert/debmatic@abf4862)
  • added preliminary support for HB-RF-USB-2 PCB (https://github.com/alexreinert/PCB/tree/master/HB-RF-USB-2) and updated generic_raw_uart kernel module version to latest version available.

WebUI changes:

  • implemented a new WebUI patch that allows to set an offset and duration time for the astro timer functions. That means that one can create astro timers now where a user can set something like e.g. "at sunrise minus/plus X minutes". In addition, a user can now limit the astro timer duration if wanted and not having it automatically ended at the opposite astro time (#221).
  • fixed 0037-WebUI-DevConfig-RSSI patch by explicitly using a catch{} statements to query for the devname of a HmIP device because it seems that under some circumstances this array is not populated correctly and thus otherwise ends up in an error when the set rssi_list is executed (#845).
  • integrated a minor WebUI style fix which provides a white background in the device thumbnail table cells of the service message view for a slightly nicer display.

Operating system changes:

  • bumped Linux kernel versions to new major LTS 5.4.x version (5.4.44) for all supported platforms and updated RaspberryPi firmware files to matching versions available.
  • updated buildroot/Linux environment to latest 2020.05 version.
  • updated U-Boot version to 2020.01 and adapted environment/patches accordingly.
  • updated java AZUL version to latest 8.46.0.225-ca-jdk8.0_252 for ARM targets.
  • added support for new 8GB hardware version of RaspberryPi4b model (d03114).
  • added 'wireguard' as an directly integrated buildroot package so that users/services can setup/provide own wireguard VPN solutions in future (#776).
  • added a new unclean shutdown watchdog job that identifies any unexpected system crash or unclean shutdown situation (user unplugs power or a power outage) and notifies a user upon the next boot via a standard WebUI alarm message.
  • integrated a new cron-based fstrim execution to support reclaiming of freed disk space for devices supporting the TRIM/DISCARD operations.
  • added /etc/config/NoFSTRIM and /etc/config/NoBadBlocksCheck status file checks so that the weekly fstrim and daily backblocks check can be more easily disabled by users.
  • added a workaround for potentially slow or broken /dev/hwrng devices which might either block the rng daemon startup for an unacceptable amount of time due to head -c1 access test stalling. Now we wait a maximum of 5 seconds for the test to complete or we use /dev/urandom right away to work around this matter. This fixes issues where newer versions of Synology VMM seem to provide slightly broken /dev/hwrng devices to guest systems (#831).
  • added a global /usr/etc/npmrc to set the npm cache to /tmp/npm-cache and thus have it located on a writeable path so that npm install won't complain anymore. In addition, a /root/.npmrc link to /usr/local/etc/npmrc will allow users to put an own user configurable npmrc file and use npm config set/get accordingly (#823).
  • we use a lsblk call to identify the main mmcX device number of the rootfs. This should fix issues where upon using an eMMC with a tinkerboard the red led was constantly blinking because an incorrect mmcX device number was selected. Now the number will be automatically identified upon startup.

RaspberryMatic 3.51.6.20200420

This is release 3.51.6.20200420 of RaspberryMatic which is a minor maintenance and bug fixing release including the following new features, bug and security fixes:

Downloads License Donate

🚧 Changes:

CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

  • updated OCCU firmware to 3.51.6-3 version which comes with the following changes:
    • updated ReGaHss logic engine R1.00.0388.0216 (Apr 17 2020) version with the following changes:
      • fixed UriEncode(), UriDecode() functions to handle strings with umlauts correctly on all supported hardware platforms.
  • implemented a new delayed diagram storage mechanism which will make sure that the rrd files of the HMIPServer diagram functionality are only saved in fixed time intervals (every 10 minutes) rather than as soon as they are updated. This should prevent that USB/SD cards die way to early since the rrd files can be updated too often. In addition, they usually store the updated data on the same disk blocks and thus run too fast into the maximum memory cell limitation. Now the new mechanism will also make sure that different cells are used on every rrd file update and thus prevent the wear levelling to be exhausted too fast.
  • added a minor patch for /bin/hm_autoconf which will check for an empty InterfaceUrl() before adding the interface to the working list. This should fix issues in environments where users switch between different interfaces or perform a first boot without any interface / rf module at all.
  • updated integrated mediola NEO SERVER CCU-Addon package version to latest 2.5.1.

WebUI changes:

  • modified the WebUI patch for highlighting inactive programs in the program list to use the color.map to specify which colors should be used for the inactive highlighting (pgmTextColorInactive, pgmBackColorInactive). This allows users to define their own inactive color for better customization (0070, #800, @jp112sdl).
  • integrated a fix for the WebUI patch to bring back the channel sorting capabilities in the channel selection dialog. Now all channels, including virtual channels, will be displayed as otherwise some channels might not show up correctly (0066, #810).

Operating system changes:

  • updated buildroot/Linux environment to latest 2020.02.1 LTS version.
  • fixed RaspberryPi4 related linux kernel options so that recent 4.19.x kernels boot correctly again.
  • updated the RaspberryPi recognition routines for an improved hardware recognition. This should also add support for the RaspberryPi4b Rev 1.2 as well as for the Compute Module 3+.
  • fixed support for mounting exFAT formatted usb sticks and also modprobe fuse in case an NTFS formatted drive is about to be mounted.
  • bumped wiringpi package to version 2.60 to add support for RaspberryPi4b.
  • added hardware support for the pimoroni Fan SHIM HAT by adding a new "raspi-fanshim" service which will be automatically started if a /etc/config/enableFanshim status file is present. It will then automatically turn on/off the fan if the temperature is reaching 65 degree celsius or turn it off under 50 degree celsius (#811).
  • reduced the bluetooth communication baudrate for a potentially more stable bluetooth functionality on
    RaspberryPi3b models.
  • added hdmi_force_hotplug=1to config.txt of RaspberryPi4 version so that a headless RaspberryPi4 continues to boot correctly.
  • fixed S21rngd startup script to add the /dev/urandom routing option rather than replacing the whole ${DAEMON_ARGS} argument. This should keep the -q option to keep the rngd quiet as much as possible and not flood the syslog with thousands of debug messages.
  • updated Java 8 LTS version to 8.46.0.19-ca-jdk8.0.252 for all i686 targets (OVA, intelnuc).
  • updated Linux kernel version to latest LTS 4.19.x for all supported platforms and updated RaspberryPi firmware files to latest version available.

Downloads License Donate

🚧 Changes:

CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

  • updated OCCU firmware to 3.51.6.-1 version with full compatibility to the CCU3 3.51.6 firmware which comes with the following changes:
    • Integration of eTRV-HmIP-B-UK (Homematic IP Heizkörperthermostat - basic UK)
    • Integration of HmIP-STV (Homematic IP Neigungs- und Erschütterungssensor, ELV-Bausatz)
    • Integration of HmIP-FSI16 (Homematic IP Schaltaktor mit Tastereingang (16 A) – Unterputz,
      ELV-Bausatz)
    • Integration of HmIP-WRCR (Homematic IP Drehtaster, ELV-Bausatz)
    • Integration of HmIP-DSD-PCB (Homematic IP Klingelsignalsensor, ELV-Bausatz)
    • Integration of HmIP-DRDI3 (Homematic IP Dimmaktor für Hutschienenmontage - 3-fach,
      ELV-Bausatz)
    • For improved security, when setting a new SSH password, the password is not supplied as an argument anymore.
    • Added a waiting animation when loading/displaying the license information during a CCU firmware upgrade.
    • Uncritical log messages (multimac: Bad cast: std::bad_cast) of the multimacd process were moved to another log level.
    • For direct connections with dimming devices the minimal level of < 10% was not correctly saved and thus the dimmer always switched to 0%.
  • integrated a new default cronjob that performs a nightly bad blocks check via /sbin/badblocks and triggers an alarm message via monit if a bad block is found on the main device (e.g. SD card).

WebUI changes:

  • integrated a new WebUI patch which fixes issues with installations only using a HmIP-RF only communication solution (HmIP-RFUSB). These installations ended up in not being able to apply any device firmware
    update because the WebUI was explicitly checking the DutyCycle via the BidCos-RF interface only (0068, #770)
  • integrated a new WebUI bugfix which uses the correct label (stringTableTxMinDelayValue) for the easymodes display of TC_MINDELAY_VALUE rather than incorrectly using stringTableRamdomTimeValue (0069, #781).
  • integrated a new WebUI patch so that inactive programs get gray text to make them more easier distinguishable (0070, #779, @jp112sdl).
  • integrated a new WebUI patch to add the program name to the security checks on delete program (0071, #785, @jp112sdl)

Linux operating system changes:

  • updated java version for armhf targets to latest 8.44.0.213-ca-jdk1.8.0_242 LTS version.
  • updated Linux kernel version to latest LTS 4.19.x for all supported platforms and updated RaspberryPi bootloader to latest version available.

RaspberryMatic 3.49.17.20200131

This is release 3.49.17.20200131 of RaspberryMatic which is a minor bug fixing and maintainance release including the following new features, minor bugfixes and security fixes:

Downloads License Donate

🚧 Changes:

CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

  • minor changes to potentially fix issues with cloning a system in the intelnuc platform recovery system.
  • changed /bin/updateDCVars.tcl to set the DutyCycle system variable to -1 in case no own BidCos-RF/HmIP RF module is found.
  • modified /bin/updateDCVars.tcl to also query the DutyCycle of HmIP only RF modules (HmIP-RFUSB) in case no BidCos-RF or dual copro module is installed. This should enable a proper DutyCycle display for these RF modules also.

WebUI changes:

  • integrated new WebUI patch to reenable the disabled channel sorting in the 3.49.17 CCU3/OCCU firmware update so that within the channel and multichannel views device channels can be sorted again (0066)
  • added a new WebUI patch which fixes issues in case SENDER_LINKCOUNTER/RECEIVER_LINKCOUNTER does not contain a certain link peer, thus resulting in a severe tclsh error being displayed in the WebUI. Now a proper table is generated and the broken link will be correctly displayed instead (0067).
  • changed lighttpd webserver config to set server.http-parseopts in global lighttpd.conf to disable the url-ctrls-reject and url-path-2f-decode option or otherwise third-party addobns like hm_pdetect which encode complex textareas using URL encoding might cause newer lighttpd versions to return "400 Bad Request" messages. (homematic-community/hm_pdetect#77)

Linux operating system changes:

  • added some missing virtualization config options for the x86 ova kernel defconfig potentially improving virtualization support for various virtualization environments.
  • relinked the /etc/usb_modeswitch.d directory to /usr/local/etc to be usable by user configurations (#763).
  • added a new default PS1 shell prompt and set PAGER to use less instead of more.
  • updated buildroot/Linux version to latest 2019.11.1 version.
  • updated java version for i686 targets to latest 8.44.0.11-ca-jdk8.0.242 LTS version.
  • updated Linux kernel version to latest LTS 4.19.x for all supported platforms and updated RaspberryPi bootloader to latest version available.
