App 2.2 Changelog
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.
