Shellbee 2.0 is the biggest update yet: a redesigned app, a live network map, a new Activity Center, full iPad support and much more. A NEW HOME - Cards for Bridge Health, Network, Link Quality, Batteries, Vendors and Activity. Turn them on or off and drag them into your own order. - Needs attention lists the devices that want you: offline, low battery, weak signal. - Batteries page with a replacement log, and a Link Quality page that ranks your mesh. - Tells you when a new Zigbee2MQTT release is available. NETWORK MAP (IPAD) - See your whole Zigbee mesh laid out live, with routers, end devices and link quality. - Run a network scan and watch it progress, then filter, zoom and tap any device for a quick look. ACTIVITY CENTER - A live feed of what your devices are doing, with purpose-drawn icons for lights, sensors, locks, covers, contacts and more. - Related events are stacked so a busy network stays readable. - Choose which events notify you, with log levels per bridge. - Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island for firmware updates, pairing and bridge operations. SEARCH AND COMMAND PALETTE - One search for devices, groups and the built-in device library. - A command palette to jump anywhere fast. MULTIPLE BRIDGES - Connect several Zigbee2MQTT bridges at once and see them side by side. - Each bridge has its own colour and initial, so you always know where a device lives. Single-bridge users see nothing extra. BUILT FOR IPAD - A full sidebar workspace with lists and details side by side. - Open sections in their own windows. DEVICES AND GROUPS - Redesigned device pages: controls in cards, readings in a clean list, and every setting grouped the same way (Controls, Behaviour, Indicators, Maintenance, Status). - Favorites for the devices you use most. - New filters, and drag devices into groups. - Improved light colour, colour temperature and startup settings, plus new pages for fans and remotes. DEVICE LIBRARY AND PAIRING - Offline documentation redesigned: identity, how to pair, capabilities and options in one place. - A step-by-step pairing guide with a live progress bar. THEMES - Six colour themes: Standard, Honey, Meadow, Harbor, Lavender and Ember. - Adjust card tint to taste. Live Activities follow your theme too. LOGS - Clearer log rows with proper titles, and a raw log view when you want every line. FASTER - Faster launch, with device pictures bundled in the app. - Smoother scrolling and updates on large networks: only the row that changed redraws. FIXES - Low-battery threshold now matches between Home and the Devices filter. - Interview state now decodes correctly from current Zigbee2MQTT versions. Thank you for using Shellbee. If you enjoy it, a review on the App Store helps a lot.

Multi-bridge support and a polished Home & Logs • Connect to multiple Zigbee2MQTT bridges at once. Home, Devices, Groups, and Logs merge across them with per-bridge color attribution. • Per-bridge Settings — every bridge has its own MQTT, network, integrations, and logging. • "Untracked" devices — devices with availability disabled in Z2M now show as Untracked instead of Offline, with their own count and filter on Home (thanks to @pespinel). • Logs you can read — Group Detail has its own Logs section, "Failed to ping" warnings render as structured fields, and the Light Card on a state-change log shows the full state at log time. • Color temperature looks right — warm, daylight, and cool whites now actually look different. • Plus dozens of smaller polish fixes across Home, Settings, navigation, and Restart flow.

Activity log redesign • New look across the activity log, log detail, Recent Events on Home, leading avatar with a category badge in the corner, no chevrons. • Severity now tints the row title for quicker scanning. • Log detail shows a stacked title + timestamp in the nav bar. Smarter event attribution • Bridge responses (OTA, rename, leave, etc.) and short-form publishes now resolve to the actual device or group instead of "bridge/...". • Errors that name a device in the payload also attribute correctly. Cleaner state changes • Durations like filter_age / device_age now read as "4 mo" instead of raw seconds. • Empty transitions and duplicate payload snapshots are gone, so the diff is what you actually changed. Now supports iOS 17 • Minimum iOS lowered from 18 to 17. Also fixes a stray gap below the toolbar on the Logs page on iOS 26. Polish • Bulk OTA toolbar spinner now matches the size of the icon it replaces.

Pairing Wizard Tap + on the Devices tab to open the network, watch new devices arrive and interview live, then identify, rename, or check for updates right there. Each new device gets the same swipe and long-press actions you already know from the device list. Identify A new Identify action makes a device physically blink or beep so you can tell which is which. Available on the device list, on the device detail screen, and from the pairing wizard. First-Launch Welcome A short setup flow for new users: welcome, connection picker with live LAN discovery, and a test step that auto-advances when the bridge responds. HTTPS with Self-Signed Certificates Connect to bridges using self-signed certs. Per-server toggle, off by default, with a clear warning about untrusted networks. Home Assistant Add-On Discovery Nearby-server scanning now also probes port 8099, so the Z2M HA Community Add-on shows up next to standalone Docker installs. Group Avatar Picker Tap the hero icon on a Group Card to choose which one or two members represent the group. Improvements - Recently Added survives app restart, with a configurable window in Settings → General. - Permit Join state, countdown, and via-router scope are shared across the Home toolbar and the pairing wizard. - Interview status flips to Ready the moment Z2M reports success — no more rows stuck on "Interviewing." - A re-paired device comes back online immediately instead of looking offline until app restart. - Empty groups get a proper Add Members button right in the placeholder. - Settings tidy: Bulk OTA settings moved into OTA Updates; the duplicate Restart Zigbee2MQTT row was removed from the root.

What's New Updates and scheduling Long-press any device to Check, Update Now, or Schedule. Battery devices can now queue updates that install when they next wake. "Check All for Updates" routes mains and battery devices intelligently. Reliability Settings now save reliably (every save was previously rejected as "Invalid payload"). Wi-Fi drops are detected in about a second instead of ten, and the app reconnects the moment your network returns. Connection Lost notifications appear on every tab. Settings re-hydrate on reconnect instead of going blank. Last Seen on device cards is now hidden when the bridge disables it, so you no longer see misleading stale timestamps. Authentication failures surface immediately with a clear message. Bridge backups Settings → Tools → Backup creates a verified Zigbee2MQTT backup zip and hands it off via the share sheet. Hardened for large installs and corrupt-payload cases. Device flows Renames and removals update the UI instantly and roll back if the bridge rejects. A "Recently Added" section highlights newcomers. Pairing progress shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Developer Mode Settings → General reveals an MQTT Inspector — live subscribe with filter and pause, plus arbitrary publish. Refreshed UI Redesigned device cards, Permit Join sheet, and Settings throughout. Cleaner toggle labels (no more "Disable…" double-negatives), inline writable controls, native iOS-style Settings sections beneath every device card.

A redesigned Home screen, a more native-feeling Permit Join sheet, and a handful of polish and bug fixes. - New Home screen. Configurable card slots let you arrange the Home view the way you actually use it. Climate and cover cards get a fresh hero layout and a flatter, calmer visual style. - Permit Join, redesigned. When you allow new devices to join, the active sheet now shows a circular countdown ring - matching the look and feel of iOS's built-in Timer. Disable Join is a clear red button, exactly where you expect it. - Smarter notifications. Notifications refresh correctly when device state changes, so alerts reflect what's actually happening on your network. - OTA updates. Progress reporting is smoother and more accurate during device firmware upgrades. - Settings cleanup. The Logging section is reorganized into a single, flatter page — log level, log viewer, and output settings are now one tap away instead of three. - Bug fixes and performance improvements. Including fixes to how settings payloads are saved and to stale "last seen" timestamps on device rows.
