For all changes, see the full commit log.

CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

  • added a directly integrated VPN functionality based on the free services of Tailscale. This provides a slim, free zeroconfig VPN solution comparable to the existing CloudMatic solution. In contrast, tailscale uses the free, secure and wireguard-based solution provided by the tailscale open source project. By enabling this new VPN functionality in the network settings of the WebUI just a simple username+password credential login is required to make your CCU central available from the internet using a powerful point-to-point wireguard-based VPN mesh network like any other tailscale-aware device in a private VPN infrastructure.
  • added a fix for ha-proxy.js to remove all absolute location paths rather than simply concatinating them to the ingress HA path which could lead to invalid location: paths to be specified and thus ingress to not correctly access certain resources (#1433).
  • fixed an issue where an update of a CCU add-on was incorrectly announced if either the returned version string contained invalid whitespaces or used an uppercase “N/A” string rather than just lowercase (cf. https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=680973#p680973)
  • modified all missing triggerAlarm.tcl executions to carry the “WatchDog:” prefix as the other ones we recently added.

WebUI changes:

  • added new 0135-WebUI-Add-ControlPanel-AdvancedSettings WebUI feature patch which will add a new main “Advanced Settings” control page which can be used to enable/disable certain advanced settings which are currently usable only via RaspberryMatic (#1415, @jp112sdl).
  • fixed issue in 0099-WebUI-Add-DeviceRenameAllChannels WebUI patch which caused an incomplete refresh of room/function changes after channels had been renamed (#1430).
  • integrated another minor style improvement to the 0039-WebUI-Fix-Style-Glitches WebUI patch which changes the use of a white color for inactive buttons into using a gray/lightgray color to better signal that a button is currently inactive.
  • added new 0137-WebUI-Add-NoInterfaceWarning WebUI feature patch which adds a warning to the teach-in popup in case no working interface is found which means no rf-module or lan gateway was correctly initialized.
  • added a new 0136-WebUI-Add-Tailscale-VPN WebUI patch which will add all necessary web control elements to start+stop a tailscale vpn connection as well as linking to the authentication page which the tailscale web client will display once it has been started and through which we can then authenticate to tailscale.com. Furthermore, we add dedicated proxy settings for the local tailscale auth page so that it can be locally accessed (@jp112sdl).
  • added more ° to ° changes so that temperature display with celcius unit are correctly displayed in these cases as well (#1264).
  • fixed another minor broken umlaut encoding error resulting in strange encoding errors of certain web elements in an HA ingress routed environment (cf. #1415 (comment)).
  • fixed minor style issue regarding popupTitle CSS class in 0109-WebUI-Fix-SystemLanguageDefaultNames WebUI patch.
  • added another minor style improvement to the 0039-WebUI-Fix-Style-Glitches WebUI patch which should better align the boundaries of the title and control area of popup windows.

Operating system changes:

  • added a workaround for strange relocation 28 out of rangekernel errors on the tinkerboard platform for the first module to be loaded. This workaround should make the zram module to load without any Exec format error messages (#1435).
  • removed page_poison=1 kernel for tinkerboard because it causes kernel errors for some unknown reasons.
  • Fix the loading of openvpn configs (#1432, @milidam)
  • fixed the broken StromPi2 daemon since the standard GPIO for running strompi2 is now blocked by sysfs. Now we use wiringpi instead. In addition, a user can now specify alternative options in the /etc/config/strompi2 config file (e.g. GPIO_POWER=30) so that an alternative GPIO line can be used for the StromPi2 (#1413).
  • if /etc/config/disableOnboardLED exists all onboard LEDs (e.g. the onboard RaspberryPi LEDs) will be disabled after startup.
  • updated wiringpi-rpi package to latest master branch version fixing some CM4 module issues.
  • switched CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB to be compiled as a kernel module.
  • added a new buildroot upstream patch that disables the use of -march=native when compiling fio. This fixes Illegal instruction crashes (cf. https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&p=678375#p678333).
  • fixed minor typos in german EULA files.
  • updated used upstream kernel to 5.10.70
