We’re excited to announce a major update to our app, packed with new features and enhancements designed to improve your experience. Below is a breakdown of the key changes:

New app icon​

The Häfele Connect Mesh App got a new icon that reflects the updated branding of Häfele Lighting and the new look and feel of the app.

Visual changes to combined devices​

Parent devices (e.g. Mesh Boxes) containing children (individually configured lights) are now grouped visually, making it easier to navigate and manage your devices.

Identifying Mesh Boxes & battery-powered devices​

You can now press the device icon of a device inside your network from the device overview list or from within the device detail view to identify them.

Restore, replace and clone devices​

Restore​

In case your device was reset manually, the app now shows you in the device search and offers you to restore its previous configuration.

Replace & clone​

You can now replace broken or unreachable devices from their device settings and transfer the entire configuration, including groups, scenes, and schedules, to a new device. By cloning a device from its device settings, you can add another device of the same type and copy the configuration from the original device.

Cloud networks​

Sign in to your Häfele Connect Cloud account to synchronize your networks to ensure that your data is always up-to-date and accessible from any device.

Sharing via Häfele Connect Cloud​

We have introduced the first version of cloud sharing. You can now share your network between different devices by scanning a QR code displayed on the administrator device.

Control all devices while creating a scene​

If there is no matching group for your scene creation, you can now create a group right within the process to control all devices at once. The created group will then also be available in the groups tab.

Re-ordering home screen elements​

The homescreen on tablets has been redesigned and visually updated. It now allows you to reorder the elements by dragging them around in "Edit mode" on both tablet and smartphone.

Migrate/Update all devices​

Updating all devices in your network was previously a time-consuming process that required updating each device individually. Now you can initiate an update for all devices in a room simultaneously, and the updates will automatically proceed one after another without manual intervention. You still have to wake up battery-powered devices as they would otherwise not be reachable to update.

Presets and restoration for scenes on third party devices​

Default light presets of the app are now available on third-party devices. Additionally, saving scenes for third-party devices is now possible.

Default status LED behavior settings​

Device settings of always-powered devices now offer you to set the default status LED behavior to be on or off.

Various improvements and bug fixes​

We have made several improvements and bug fixes to the app and will continue to enhance its stability and performance.

We’re excited to announce a major update to our app, packed with new features and enhancements designed to improve your experience. Below is a breakdown of the key changes:

Unified Sensor Port Settings​

We’ve unified sensor port settings across the app for a more streamlined experience. You don't have to choose which kind of loox sensor you want to connect to your meshbox anymore, as the meshbox will handle all of them automatically.

Add EnOcean Devices from Main View​

Adding EnOcean devices is now more straightforward, as they can be added directly from the "Add Device" view.

Global Presets Editing​

Editing global presets has never been easier! This update allows you to customize and manage your presets more effectively. Beware that only newly added devices will use the changed preset values.

Repeat Button in Device Search​

We've added a "Repeat" button and a helpful infobox to the device search screen when no devices are found. This ensures that if your first search doesn't yield results, you can easily try again with clear instructions.

Enhanced Appearance Settings​

You can now customize the appearance of your device overview and scene summary by choosing to display temperature and color information. This gives you more control over how your devices are presented.

Reset to Center for Color/Temperature Picker​

We've added a feature that allows you to reset the color/temperature picker to the center with a single tap, making it easier to revert to default settings.

Automatic Device Naming​

New devices will now be automatically named based on their type, with numbers assigned sequentially. This saves you the hassle of manually naming each new device.

Device Update Mode in Advanced Settings​

You can now bring devices into update mode directly from the advanced settings, simplifying the update process.

Configurable Wall Switches​

Before saving your settings, you can now configure all buttons on a Wall Switch, Jung Switch, Wall Controller, or EnOcean device. This provides greater flexibility in how your switches operate.

Expert Settings Toggle​

For those who need more control, we've added a toggle to activate expert settings, granting access to advanced configuration options.

Device Limits Information​

Device settings now include information on device limits, helping you stay within recommended parameters and avoid potential issues.

Group Check During Configuration​

While configuring remotes, switches, and sensors, the app now checks if a group with the selected devices already exists, preventing duplication and ensuring efficient management.

BLE Permissions Info Screen​

If your Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) permissions are missing, the app will now show an informative screen to guide you through resolving the issue.

"Finish Setup" Button Improvements​

The state of the “Finish Setup” button will now change according to your checklist, making it easier to complete your setup without missing any steps.

Bug Fixes and Internal Improvements​

• Multiple Gateways Warning: We’ve added a limitation warning when attempting to add multiple gateways to prevent configuration conflicts.
• Lock Scene Fix: A fix has been applied for adding locks to scenes, ensuring seamless operation.
• New Debug View: Developers and advanced users will benefit from a new debug view for more in-depth troubleshooting.
• Migration Infobox: A migration infobox has been added to the dashboard to assist with transitions.
• Device Update Indicator: The device detail screen now shows indicators when an update is available, so you never miss an important update.

This update is a significant step forward in making our app more user-friendly, reliable, and feature-rich. We’re committed to continuously improving your experience and can’t wait for you to try out these new features!
