# Changelog All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). ## [Unreleased] ### Added - Nothing yet ### Changed - Nothing yet ### Fixed - Nothing yet ### Removed - Nothing yet ## [1.8.1] - 2026-05-31 ### Fixed - MQTT events not received: the EZVIZ broker does not reliably deliver QoS 2 messages via MQTT.js; switched to QoS 1, which resolves the issue - MQTT keepalive set to 30 s to avoid the broker's 60 s server-side timeout dropping the connection every minute - Subscription is now skipped on reconnects where the broker restores a stored session (`sessionPresent=true`), matching pyEzvizApi behaviour ### Changed - MQTT and polling now run in parallel: MQTT fires motion events immediately, polling continues as a 30 s fallback (previously polling was stopped when MQTT connected) - Motion window reduced from 90 s to 60 s - `triggerMotion` is now idempotent — only emits the HomeKit update once per motion event and resets the auto-clear timer on repeated calls - Debug logging added for MQTT register/startPush responses, raw message topic, subscribe grant, `sessionPresent`, and connection lifecycle events ## [1.8.0] - 2026-05-31 ### Added - MQTT push for real-time motion detection — when MQTT connects successfully, polling stops and motion events arrive instantly instead of within 30 seconds (#29) - Connects to the EZVIZ push broker using the same credentials as pyEzvizApi and the Home Assistant integration - Automatically falls back to polling if MQTT fails to connect - Auto-reconnects every 5 seconds on disconnect; polling stays off during reconnection ## [1.7.0] - 2026-05-31 ### Added - Motion sensor accessory per camera (opt-in via `motionSensor: true` in camera config) — polls the EZVIZ alarm history every 30 seconds and triggers a HomeKit motion event when a new alarm is detected; motion stays active for 90 seconds (#23) - Node.js 24 added to supported engines (#28) ## [1.6.0] - 2026-05-31 ### Added - Session refresh using refresh token — scheduled re-authentication now uses `PUT /v3/apigateway/login` with the existing refresh token instead of a full re-login, falling back to full re-authentication if the token is rejected (#21) - Support for BatteryCamera and BDoorBell device categories — these devices are no longer silently skipped during discovery and are exposed as cameras in HomeKit (#24) ### Fixed - WiFi cameras failing to stream or take snapshots (#26) - Plugin now requests WIFI IP data from the pagelist API and prefers `WIFI.address` over `CONNECTION.localIp`, which returns `0.0.0.0` for many WiFi cameras - Switched RTSP transport from UDP to TCP (`-rtsp_transport tcp`) for reliable WiFi streaming - RTSP URL now includes the correct port from `CONNECTION.localRtspPort` - Added `-use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1` to fix non-monotonic timestamp warnings from cameras - Added `-af aresample=async=1` to fix audio distortion caused by backward audio timestamps ## [1.5.0] - 2025-11-04 ### Added - Alarm Mode Switch: Added HomeKit switch accessory to control EZVIZ defence/alarm modes (#11) - Switch ON = AWAY_MODE (fully armed) - Switch OFF = HOME_MODE (disarmed) - Switch state automatically reflects current defence mode status - Supports control via Apple Shortcuts, Siri, and Home app - Added API methods for getting and setting defence mode ## [1.3.0] - 2025-11-03 ### Added - Added config option for dual cameras (#13) ## [1.2.12] - 2025-09-02 ### Fixed - Fixed live view stopping after 9 seconds issue (#6) - Improved streaming stability and reliability ## [1.2.11] - 2025-08-30 ### Added - Added funding support via PayPal - Added Homebridge verified badge to README - Enhanced project documentation ### Changed - Updated funding configuration in package.json - Improved README with better badges and information ## [1.2.10] - 2025-07-13 ### Added - Initial release of the improved EZVIZ plugin - Support for EZVIZ cameras with RTSP streaming - Support for EZVIZ smart plugs - Multi-region support for EZVIZ accounts - Comprehensive configuration schema - TypeScript implementation with full type safety ### Features - **Camera Support**: Live streaming for EZVIZ IP cameras - **Smart Plug Control**: Remote control of EZVIZ smart plugs - **Multi-Region Support**: Support for all EZVIZ regions worldwide - **Secure Authentication**: Secure login with EZVIZ credentials - **Easy Configuration**: Simple setup through Homebridge UI - **Auto-Discovery**: Automatic device discovery and configuration ### Technical Details - Built with TypeScript for better maintainability - Uses modern ES modules - Comprehensive error handling and logging - Full HomeKit integration - Support for Node.js 18.20.4, 20.18.0, and 22.10.0 - Compatible with Homebridge 1.8.0+ ## [1.2.9] - 2025-06-08 ### Fixed - Improved error handling and logging - Enhanced stability for device connections ### Changed - Updated dependencies for better security and performance ## [1.2.8] - 2025-05-29 ### Fixed - Various bug fixes and stability improvements - Enhanced device discovery reliability ## [1.2.7] - 2025-05-27 ### Fixed - Minor bug fixes and improvements - Enhanced error handling ## [1.2.4] - 2025-03-06 ### Fixed - Critical bug fixes for device connectivity - Improved authentication handling ## [1.2.3] - 2025-01-31 ### Fixed - Bug fixes for smart plug control - Improved camera streaming stability ## [1.2.2] - 2025-01-12 ### Added - Initial support for smart plugs - Enhanced configuration options ### Fixed - Various stability improvements --- ## Legacy Versions This project is based on the original work by [Brandawg93](https://github.com/Brandawg93/homebridge-ezviz).
