Myro:Home Helper 5.21 improves room refresh and reliability. The features introduced in 5.20 and earlier remain included below. NESS / ELK and Savant remain PREVIEW integrations; features vary by system and equipment. HAI / LEVITON New in 5.21: • Sync Now refreshes panel room names, removals and control memberships while preserving edited/shared rooms. • Incomplete camera/room setup replies are rejected before they can crash Helper or replace saved layouts. From 5.20: • Optional prototype receiver controls alongside existing switches: power, source, volume, vendor-specific mute and a Home volume slider. Earlier (5.0): • European Omni LTe-EU, Omni IIe-EU and OmniPro II-EU: HTTP API arming/disarming with panel-checked codes and separate not-ready, wrong-code and lockout results. • Door-reader last access and thermostat vacation hold. Blink UPB lights; send messages, keypad beeps, door unlocks, RadioRA 2 phantom buttons and Leviton scenes. NESS / ELK (PREVIEW) New in 5.21: • Remove an entry that cannot load its settings by right-clicking it, without selecting it. • Fixed a crash when selecting an ELK controller that has no solar location saved. Included in 5.20: • M1 / M1 Gold, EZ8 and EZ24 through M1XEP, M1XIP or C1M1, with certificate trust confirmation. • Areas, zones, lights, outputs, tasks and thermostats in HomeKit, scripts, HTTP API and web control. • PRO Live Activities and push alerts for arming, alarms, tripped zones and trouble. • HomeKit/scripts use a code in the Mac's Keychain; API/web codes are checked by the panel. • Event log, keypad text, energy/rain counters, M1XEP audio, and phone pairing by code or QR. SAVANT (PREVIEW) From 5.20: • Local User sign-in, room/activity discovery, source-specific transport, command discovery and live feedback. No cloud token or agent ID. • Select HomeKit activity switches and Custom Names for Siri. Unique activity-route recovery preserves HomeKit identities and known script references after activity IDs change. • Room-change scripting with permitted controllers, Vestaboard and other configured integrations. • Fixed Remember Local User, AutoFill and connection indicators. Room photos download once. FOR EVERYONE New in 5.21: • Right-click to remove a controller, preserving the remaining selection and panes. • More reliable request cancellation and reconnect handling. • Getting Started explains reaching controllers over a Tailscale subnet route. From 5.20: • HAI/ELK rooms/cameras: edit controls, visibility and photos. Hide controls without removing assignments; matched Savant activities support power and feedback. • Camera wall: up to six visible feeds, pooled snapshots, reconnects, format fallback, calmer retries and loading animation, without refresh flicker or playback gaps. Cameras follows Events. • PRO/Classic sync only on request: Edit, then Both ways, From Helper or To Helper. Panel rooms are hidden, never deleted. • API > Rooms & Cameras: native room/control/photo/camera editor with previews. Photo Manager imports, renames, replaces and combines exact duplicates. Earlier (5.0 / 5.10): • Mac Siri/Shortcuts actions: lights, buttons/macros, object status, arm/disarm and approved script handlers; run while the Mac is locked. Arm needs no code; disarm checks your code with lockout. • ScriptEvents.onShortcut offers approved script actions; MyroSystem.runShortcut runs a Mac shortcut and returns text, with macOS permission. • HomeKit handles fragmented requests, starts/pairs more reliably and supports up to 149 accessories. • Sunrise/sunset schedules missed during sleep run on wake if at most 30 minutes late. • Controller guides and family-specific AI references in Help. Apps learn the controller's LAN address from Helper. Web sign-in and QR phone linking are easier. Siri/Shortcuts actions require macOS 13 or later. Support: https://myrocontrol.com/support

Myro:Home Helper 5.20 adds Savant, shared rooms, cameras and photos. NESS / ELK and Savant remain PREVIEW integrations; features vary by system and equipment. NEW IN 5.20 • Optional HAI receivers: paired power, source, volume and mute controls alongside existing switches, with vendor-specific mute and a Home slider. • Savant preview: local sign-in, room/activity discovery, source-specific transport, command discovery and live feedback. No cloud token or agent ID. • Savant HomeKit: choose activity switches and Custom Names for Siri, with live on/off feedback. Activity ID changes recover through unique routes, preserving HomeKit identities and known script references. • Savant scripting: react to room changes and combine permitted controllers with Vestaboard and other configured integrations. • Rooms/cameras: edit toggles, shared visibility and photos, and a live wall (up to six visible feeds) with pooled snapshots, automatic reconnects and format fallback. Hide room controls without removing assignments; matched Savant activities support power and feedback. • PRO and Classic sync rooms and cameras on request only, never in the background: tap Edit, then sync both ways, from Helper or to Helper. Panel rooms are hidden, never deleted. • Camera wall: no refresh flicker or playback gaps; calmer retries and the Myro loading animation. Cameras follows Events. • API > Rooms & Cameras opens a native editor for rooms, controls, visibility, photos and cameras with previews. A separate Photo Manager window imports, renames, replaces and combines exact duplicates. Savant photos download once. • Fixed Remember Local User, AutoFill and connection indicators. Updated guides. FROM 5.10 — FOR EVERYONE • Siri and Shortcuts: set lights, press buttons/macros, read zones, units, thermostats, flags and outputs, or arm/disarm. Actions run in the background, even with your Mac locked; name a shortcut to use Siri. • Arm needs no code, like HomeKit. Disarm needs your code, which the controller checks, with a lockout after repeated wrong codes. • Scripts can offer Shortcuts/Siri actions with ScriptEvents.onShortcut after editor approval. • MyroSystem.runShortcut runs a Mac shortcut and returns text; macOS asks once for permission. • HomeKit bridge: requests that arrive in pieces no longer drop the connection. • Sunrise and sunset schedules missed while the Mac slept run on wake if no more than 30 minutes late. • Updated guides in the Help menu. Siri and Shortcuts actions need macOS 13 or later. FROM 5.0 — HAI / LEVITON • European controllers, first support: the HTTP API arms and disarms Omni LTe-EU, Omni IIe-EU and OmniPro II-EU with your code. Not-ready zones, wrong codes and lockout each return their own reason. • Door readers report the last access (granted or denied, user number, time); thermostats report vacation hold. • Blink a UPB light to find it, and more commands: messages, keypad beepers, door unlock, RadioRA 2 phantom buttons and Leviton scenes. FROM 5.0 — NESS / ELK (PREVIEW) • Add an M1 / M1 Gold, EZ8 or EZ24 through an M1XEP, M1XIP or C1M1. Helper asks before trusting the interface's certificate. • ELK areas, zones, lights, outputs, tasks and thermostats work with HomeKit, scripts, the HTTP API and web control. • Myro:Home Pro 2.0 receives ELK arming, alarm, tripped-zone and trouble Live Activities and push alerts. • HomeKit and scripts arm with a code kept in your Mac's Keychain; the panel checks codes from the API and web control. • Event log, keypad text, energy and rain counters, legacy M1XEP audio, and phone pairing by code or QR. FROM 5.0 — FOR EVERYONE • Controller Guides beside the Scripting Guide, and an AI scripting reference for only your controller families. • Myro:Home apps learn your controller's LAN address from Helper for use at home. • Web control: phone link with QR code; easier sign-in. • HomeKit bridge: faster startup, more reliable pairing, up to 149 accessories. Report issues at https://myrocontrol.com/support.

Myro:Home Helper 5.10 brings Siri and Shortcuts to your Mac, in both directions. NEW IN 5.10 — FOR EVERYONE • Siri and Shortcuts: Myro:Home Helper actions set a light, press a button or macro, read a zone, unit, thermostat, flag or output, and arm or disarm. They run in the background, even with your Mac locked, so your Helper Mac works like a server; name a shortcut to run it with Siri. • Arm needs no code, like HomeKit. Disarm needs your code, which the controller checks, with a lockout after repeated wrong codes. • Your own actions: a script can offer an action to Shortcuts and Siri (ScriptEvents.onShortcut) once you approve it in the script editor. Editing the script asks again. • Run shortcuts from scripts: MyroSystem.runShortcut runs any Mac shortcut and returns its text. Start from Templates > Utilities > Run a Shortcut. macOS asks once for permission. • HomeKit bridge: requests that arrive in pieces no longer drop the connection. • Sunrise and sunset schedules missed while the Mac slept run on wake if no more than 30 minutes late. • The Ethernet Quality log is trimmed at 5 MB, keeping older history compressed. • ELK (preview): connection status is consistent across Helper. • Updated guides in the Help menu. Siri and Shortcuts actions need macOS 13 or later. • Please report any issues at https://myrocontrol.com/support. FROM 5.0 — HAI / LEVITON • European controllers, first support: the HTTP API arms and disarms Omni LTe-EU, Omni IIe-EU and OmniPro II-EU with your code. Not-ready zones, wrong codes and lockout each return their own reason. • Door readers report the last access (granted or denied, user number, time); thermostats report vacation hold. • Blink a UPB light to find it, and more commands: messages, keypad beepers, door unlock, RadioRA 2 phantom buttons and Leviton scenes. • Rain Advisory refreshes on schedule and retries a failed weather read. FROM 5.0 — NESS / ELK (PREVIEW) • Add an M1 / M1 Gold, EZ8 or EZ24 through an M1XEP, M1XIP or C1M1. Helper asks before trusting the interface's certificate. • ELK areas, zones, lights, outputs, tasks and thermostats work with HomeKit, scripts, the HTTP API and web control. • Myro:Home Pro 2.0 receives ELK arming, alarm, tripped-zone and trouble Live Activities and push alerts. • HomeKit and scripts arm with a code kept in your Mac's Keychain; the panel checks codes from the API and web control. • Event log, keypad text, energy and rain counters, legacy M1XEP audio, and phone pairing by code or QR. FROM 5.0 — FOR EVERYONE • Controller Guides beside the Scripting Guide, and an AI scripting reference for only your controller families. • Myro:Home apps learn your controller's LAN address from Helper for use at home. • Web control: phone link with QR code; easier sign-in. • HomeKit bridge: faster startup, more reliable pairing, up to 149 accessories. ELK support is a preview; features vary by panel, firmware and equipment. HAI and Leviton remain our core focus.

Myro:Home Helper 5.01 adds first support for European HAI controllers, door reader status and more controller commands. NEW IN 5.01 — HAI / LEVITON • European controllers, first support: the HTTP API's security action arms and disarms Omni LTe-EU, Omni IIe-EU and OmniPro II-EU (EN 50131) controllers with your code, like Snap-Link. If zones aren't ready the reply says so; send force: true to force arm. Wrong codes, keypad lockout and installer restore each return their own reason. HomeKit and scripts arm without a code, which these controllers refuse, so use the API or the apps for now. • Door readers: lock and reader objects carry the last access (granted or denied, user number and time) from the first status refresh, in the HTTP API, MCP and scripts. • Vacation hold: thermostats report holdMode (off, hold or vacation) in the HTTP API, MCP, scripts and Helper Web. • Find a UPB device: blink a UPB light for 30 seconds from scripts (MyroAPI.blinkUPB), the HTTP API or MCP. • More controller commands: scripts and the HTTP API can say, log or phone-and-say a message; set or silence keypad beepers; unlock a door for a time or lock or unlock every door; press RadioRA 2 phantom buttons; and run Leviton scenes. MCP gets the same, except unlock-all and phone-and-say. • Fixed a crash in the HomeKit bridge when someone used an access control reader. • Please report any issues at https://myrocontrol.com/support. FROM 5.0 — HAI / LEVITON • Rain Advisory refreshes on schedule and retries a failed weather read. NESS / ELK (PREVIEW) • Add an M1 / M1 Gold, EZ8 or EZ24 through an M1XEP, M1XIP or C1M1 interface. Helper connects with your interface login and asks before trusting its certificate, and again if it changes. • Setup and status: Connection, Panel, Location and Pairing segments; enter a city or ZIP for sunrise and sunset. The Status tab shows areas, zones, outputs, lights, climate and last sync. • ELK areas, zones, lights, outputs, tasks and thermostats work with the HomeKit bridge, scripts, the HTTP API and web control, just as HAI objects do. • Myro:Home Pro 2.0 receives ELK arming, alarm, tripped-zone and trouble Live Activities and push alerts. • HomeKit and scripts arm with a code saved only in your Mac's Keychain; codes from the HTTP API and web control are checked by the panel. • Event log with the panel's own event names, keypad text from scripts and the API, code length and temperature units read from the panel, energy and rain counters, and legacy M1XEP audio. • Pairing shows a code and QR for Myro:Home Pro, and removing a controller removes its Keychain credentials. FOR EVERYONE • Controller Guides sit beside the Scripting Guide in the Help menu, and the AI scripting reference covers only your controller families. • The HTTP API status snapshot reports each controller's family, and MCP understands ELK panels. • Myro:Home apps learn your controller's LAN address from Helper and use it at home when the outside address can't be reached. • Web control: a phone link by address and Mac name with a QR code; sign-in gets a show-password button and case-insensitive usernames. • HomeKit bridge: hubs stop reloading every accessory at startup, pairing is more reliable, and up to 149 accessories fit. • Long-running connections no longer build up memory. ELK support is a preview; features vary by panel, firmware and equipment. HAI and Leviton remain our core focus.

Your HAI / Leviton Helper, now with room for NESS / ELK. Myro:Home Helper 5.0 builds on the HAI and Leviton features you rely on and opens them to ELK panels, as a preview. HAI / LEVITON • Rain Advisory stays current: Helper refreshes rainfall advice on schedule and retries a failed weather read instead of waiting for the next day. NESS / ELK (PREVIEW) • Add an ELK controller from the controller list or the Controller menu: M1 / M1 Gold, EZ8 and EZ24 through an M1XEP, M1XIP or C1M1 interface. Connect securely with your interface login; Helper asks before trusting the interface's certificate, and again if it changes. • Easier setup: the Connection tab has Connection, Panel, Location and Pairing segments. Enter a city or ZIP code and Helper fills in your sunrise and sunset. The Status tab shows areas, zones, outputs, lights, climate and last sync, and notes when ELK recommends newer panel or interface firmware. • HomeKit, scripts and automations: ELK areas, zones, lights, outputs, tasks and thermostats work with Helper's HomeKit bridge, scripts, the HTTP API and web control, just as HAI objects do. Ethernet Quality stays HAI-only. • Notifications and Live Activities: Myro:Home Pro 2.0 receives arming countdown, alarm, tripped-zone and panel-trouble Live Activities from your ELK panel, plus push alerts using your existing settings. In this preview ELK alerts go to Pro; the iPhone and Android apps follow later. • An arming code for automations: HomeKit and scripts can't type a code, so Helper arms and disarms your ELK panel with a code saved only in your Mac's Keychain. Codes entered through the HTTP API and web control are checked by the panel itself. • Event log and keypad messages: read your panel's event log with the panel's own name for each event, and show text on your ELK keypads from scripts, the HTTP API and automations. • Panel settings come from the panel: user code length (4 or 6 digits) and temperature units are read from your ELK panel. • Energy and Rain Advisory: name panel counters MonthKWH, TodayKWH, ProjectedKWH, AvgDailyKWH, RainAdvisory or EnergyCost and Helper keeps them updated, the same way it updates HAI flags. • Legacy M1XEP audio: Russound, NuVo or Proficient zones wired through the M1XEP's audio integration can be controlled from scripts, the HTTP API and HomeKit. ELK no longer develops that integration, so expect limits. • Pair your phone: Connection > Pairing shows a code and QR that Myro:Home Pro scans so the app finds this Helper and receives your controller's home address. • Clean removal: removing an ELK controller also removes its credentials and arming code from the Keychain. FOR EVERYONE • Guides for your controller: the Help menu lists the HAI / Leviton and NESS / ELK Controller Guides beside the shared Scripting Guide, and the AI scripting reference covers only the controller families you have, with device names grouped by controller. • HTTP API and MCP: the status snapshot reports each controller's family, and MCP server 0.5.1 understands ELK panels. • Connect at home with an outside address: Myro:Home apps learn your controller's LAN address from Helper and use it when the outside address can't be reached from inside your network. Helper shares only a private address it is connected to; the app shows it under About. • Web control on your phone: the gear shows a link by address and by your Mac's name, plus a QR code. • Web control sign-in: a show-password button, usernames no longer need matching case, phone keyboards stop capitalizing them, and attempts are logged without credentials. • HomeKit bridge: hubs stop reloading every accessory when Helper starts, pairing is more reliable, and up to 149 accessories fit. • Long-running connections no longer build up memory. ELK support is a preview; features vary by panel, firmware and equipment. HAI and Leviton remain our core focus. If you're trying ELK, we'd love to hear about your setup at https://myrocontrol.com/support.

A new notification service, a more natural voice, and ready for the next macOS. • Faster notifications: Helper now connects to Myro:Home's own notification service on its own, with nothing to set up. Phones on the latest Myro:Home apps switch over automatically and keep the same QR code. Everyone else keeps receiving alerts as before. Notifications > App shows whether the push service is connected. • New Myro:Home Pro Live Activities for controller messages, updating as messages are read or cleared, and for panel troubles such as AC power loss, a low panel battery, freeze, fuse, phone-line or zone trouble, clearing when the panel reports the trouble fixed. They join the arming countdown, alarm and tripped-zone Live Activities. Homes without a landline can ignore phone-line trouble in Pro. • Status from your controller is no longer missed when several updates arrive at once or one arrives in pieces, and Helper asks again for anything a refresh didn't confirm. • Quick taps reach the controller in the order you made them: on, off, on now ends on. Every audio button press is sent, and audio power and mute no longer cancel each other. • Bursts of alerts are paced so your phones receive every one, in order. • New Inbox: notices from Myro Control, such as updates you shouldn't miss, arrive as a Mac notification and in Helper's Inbox (toolbar, menu bar and Dock menus) with an unread badge. Click the notification to read it, then mark it read or dismiss it. • Scripts can run programs you install yourself, such as Python integrations, with arguments and no separate HTTP listener: put them in Helper's Application Scripts folder, allow them for a controller under User-Installed Scripts, and call MyroSystem.runUserScript. A local Tuya lighting example is included. • Web control fits phone screens better, including its settings, shows what each thermostat is doing (heating, cooling, idle), shows armed and bypassed zones correctly instead of "Unknown", and shows whether a bypassed zone is currently secure, not ready or in trouble. • Announcements use your Mac's System voice. For the most natural sound, choose a Siri, Premium or Enhanced voice in System Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content. "Myro" is pronounced correctly in every announcement. • Scripts, the HTTP API and Sonos announcements can choose a different voice for a single announcement. • Quitting Helper also stops its background helper, and the helper stops restarting Helper after repeated crashes. • Built for macOS 27. Myro:Home Helper now requires macOS 12 Monterey or later. • Bug fixes and stability improvements.

Control your home from any browser. • New web control. Use your lights, security, thermostats, audio and messages from a browser on your phone, tablet or computer. It has the same look as Myro:Home Pro, in light or dark, and updates live. • Open it from the Control button, from Open Control on the API tab, or from Open Web Control in the menu. • Put a photo of your home behind the web control from the new Settings menu. Overview also shows sunrise, sunset and the outside temperature. • Sign in with an API key, or set up a username and password for each controller under API > Control Login. • Keep a wall tablet or computer signed in for 30 days of use. Sign out anytime, or choose Sign Out All Browsers in Helper. Security still asks for your panel code. • Security from the browser is off unless you turn it on, and it always asks for your panel code. • Timed lights and outputs, humidity targets, and all-on or all-off lighting by area. • New Events view with the panel's own event log. • Graphs load quickly even with years of history, and open without signing in. Sign in once and you stay signed in as you move around or reload the page. • Thermostat charts show heating and cooling time, and mark gaps where no readings came in. • Older history is archived and compressed automatically, and stays in the graphs. • Scripting: shared JavaScript libraries, access to your other controllers when you allow it, and callbacks when speech starts and finishes. • Increment or decrement flag counters and dim or brighten supported Omni lights by relative steps from scripts, the HTTP API and the matching MCP adapter. • Rapid counter and relative lighting adjustments are kept in order, without relying on cached values. • New HTTP API and MCP endpoints for sensor history and panel events. • When the panel won't restore a zone because it isn't ready, Helper now says so. • A cleaner API tab, and API keys are stored more securely. • Updated for the latest macOS, including the login item that starts Helper. • Guides updated for 4.50, including moving over from HaikuHelper. • Bug fixes and stability improvements. Use the web control at home or over a VPN. It isn't encrypted, so never open port 9393 to the internet. Heads-up: starting with Helper 4.51, macOS 12 Monterey or later will be required. Helper 4.50 is the last version for macOS 11.

Zone bypass through the API, without a code. • Zone bypass and restore through the HTTP API or an AI assistant no longer need a panel code, so scripts never have to store one. Without a code they run as the panel's Programmed user; with one, as that person. Arming and disarming still require a code. • Fixed: bypassing or restoring a zone outside area 1 could fail. The Helper now checks against the zone's own area. • Guides updated for 4.13. • Bug fixes and stability improvements throughout the app.

Arming from Apple Home now works the same as arming from the app. • Fixed: on some panels, arming Away from Apple Home could end up in Day mode. Apple Home and scripts now use "Programming" code to arm the panel. • Guides updated for 4.12. • Bug fixes and stability improvements throughout the app.

Helper restarts itself if it crashes. • Everything Helper does needs for Myro:Home Helper to be running. HomeKit, push notifications, the API, scripts, logging. If it quits at 2am you probably won't find out until something at home doesn't happen. • Now it comes back on its own a few seconds later. Crashes are rare, and the last few releases made them rarer, but the Mac running Helper is usually somewhere nobody looks. • You don't have to turn this on. It's part of "Start Myro:Home Helper automatically when logging into this Mac". There's an (i) beside that checkbox now if you want the details. • Quitting Helper with Cmd-Q keeps it closed, and so do logging out and shutting down. Also, a Force Quit looks like a crash, so Helper will start again if that occurs. • If it keeps crashing it gives up, after five tries in an hour, waiting longer each time. For example, restarting doesn't fix a full disk or some other system issue. • All four guides updated for 4.11. • Bug fixes and stability improvements throughout the app.

Clearer answers when something is wrong: bad keys say so, and one glitch is no longer a warning. • A rejected encryption key now tells you. When the controller refuses the secure session — the sign that the keys entered do not match the panel — the controller's row and the status line read "Invalid Keys", the log records it as a critical error, and the connection-status push says the keys were rejected instead of going out blank. Previously this failure was silent: the row simply read "Disconnected" and nothing explained why. • Ethernet Quality no longer treats a single glitch as a pattern. One unexpected disconnect and the reconnect that follows it were being counted as two incidents, enough to raise the concern level to Medium on their own. The level is now based on episodes rather than rows, recent episodes count for more than old ones, and it only rises to Medium when trouble is recurring or its frequency is increasing — one or two isolated events stay Low. • Ethernet Quality now uses evidence it already had. An episode that happened while your other local bridges were also unreachable is treated as a wider network event, not a fault on the controller's link, and the assessment says so in plain words rather than reporting nothing. • The Ethernet Quality chart now draws events as hourly bars instead of a line. A quiet week no longer reads as a flat line with one-pixel spikes, and a drop followed by a failed reconnect in the same hour shows as one stacked bar rather than two overlapping marks. • The HTTP API's Ethernet Quality response adds a one-sentence reason plus the episode, decay and frequency figures behind the level; every existing field is unchanged. • All four guides updated for 4.10, including how the new assessment works. • Bug fixes and stability improvements throughout the app.

Scripting that can hear the panel, remember things, and wait for fresh data. • Scripts can react to panel events directly — switch presses, macro buttons, Pro-Link messages, CentraLite switches, X10, Compose, camera triggers and UPB links all arrive through ScriptEvents.onOmniEvent, using the decoding Helper already had. Existing UPB link scripts keep working unchanged. • Persistent variables survive a restart — setPersistentVar, getPersistentVar and removePersistentVar keep small values scoped to one script and controller, so a counter or a last-run time is still there tomorrow. Files are written atomically and are not secret storage. • Ask for fresh object data, and know when it arrives — MyroController.refreshStatus requests a read-only refresh of known objects, getRefreshStatus reports progress, and ScriptEvents.onStatusRefresh fires when it finishes. Requests coalesce, a disconnect ends the ones in flight, and no commands are sent to your devices. • Helper also refreshes its object snapshots on its own after starting up and after reconnecting, so scripts, HomeKit and the API see current state sooner. • stopSound now actually stops a sound. Playback is tracked per script and controller, so a script can stop what it started, replace a sound of the same name, and never silence another script's. • Thermostat setpoints can move by a relative amount — adjustHeatSetpoint and adjustCoolSetpoint shift a setpoint without a script reading it first. • showCamera puts a camera on an HAI touchscreen. • Fixed: the relative cool adjustment carried the heat command's number, so asking to raise or lower cooling would have moved the heat setpoint instead. • All four guides are updated for 4.09, and the build now refuses to bundle a guide whose contents do not match its source. • Bug fixes and stability improvements throughout the app.

Your apps can now reach Helper from outside the house. • Reconnect over a VPN — Bonjour cannot travel beyond your local network, so an app away from home could never find Helper, even though Helper answers on every address the Mac has, including its Tailscale or other VPN address. Helper now tells an app every address it answers on, and the app remembers them. Open the app once on your home network to let it connect, and from then on it reconnects from anywhere without any setup. • Two new Getting Started sections — "Reaching Helper Away From Home" explains the one-time local connection and why the order matters, and "Remote Access with Tailscale" walks through setting up Tailscale on this Mac and on your phone. Nothing is exposed to the Internet and no router ports are opened; Helper needs no configuration, because it already answers on every address this Mac has. • Bug fixes and stability improvements throughout the app.

Your Omni, now something an AI assistant can actually operate — plus four rewritten guides. • Myro:Home Helper MCP server — connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code or any MCP-capable assistant to your controller through the Helper. Ask what state a zone is in, dim a light, set a flag, check the connection's health, or have it write an automation for you, all through clearly described tools rather than guesswork. Install with one config block: uvx myrohome-helper-mcp. • A new MCP Guide walks you through the whole setup — creating the right API key, installing uv, configuring Claude Desktop or Claude Code, confirming the connection, and what to ask once it works. • A new Getting Started guide covers connecting your controller, the first synchronization, and choosing the services that make sense for your home. • The Scripting and HTTP API references have been rewritten and are now generated from maintainable sources, so what you read matches what the app does. All four guides open from the Help menu, and the build refuses to produce them if a route, a scripting method, or a version number has drifted. • HTTP API can read as well as write — new routes list every object with its decoded state, fetch one object, return recent log lines, expose controller and audio-source metadata, and set flags and outputs directly with the correct command rather than through the unit route. • Sensitive API access is opt-in per key — direct arm/disarm and remote script management are separate capabilities chosen when a key is generated and fixed for its life. Security requests still need a valid panel user code, wrong codes lock the key out, and every attempt is logged with the address it came from. • Expanded JavaScript automation — scripts can now read complete controller and object snapshots, control thermostats, locks, blinds, outputs, UPB Links, user settings and area lights, arm and disarm without storing a panel code, inspect audio-source metadata, and react to flags, outputs, blinds, sensors, user settings and access-control events. • AI-assisted script authoring — an assistant can inspect your existing automations and real device names, validate new JavaScript without running it, and save or enable it only when you ask. A compact API reference, small enough to paste into any chat, is one click away in the Scripts window. • Your edits are safe from outside changes — if an assistant or another app updates a script you have open, the editor says so and keeps your draft, with a choice to reload theirs or keep yours. • Clearer Ethernet Quality guidance — ACK timeouts are explained in context, with a low, medium or high link-concern level based on recent recurrence rather than lifetime totals or a single transient event. • More accurate zone status in the API and scripts, with refreshed zone data after connecting to prevent outdated or incorrectly interpreted states. • Improved Omni-Link decoding for grouped unit updates and larger controller configurations. • Graphs page shows live controller status — a connection indicator in the header refreshes every ten seconds, any messages the controller is displaying appear beneath it and can be cleared from the page when opened from the Helper, and the whole page now lays out properly on phones and tablets. • Vestaboard messages that fit themselves — scripts, the HTTP API and the MCP server can now hand the Helper plain text and it wraps to the board's width and centers it top to bottom, so the same message looks right on a Flagship or a Note without picking rows. Send an exact grid of character codes for color tiles and art, or keep addressing rows one by one exactly as before. • Bug fixes and stability improvements throughout the app.

Scripting: Ethernet Quality, zone details, a dark editor, and more... • Ethernet Quality for scripts — MyroSystem.getEthernetQuality() and ScriptEvents.onEthernetQuality give your scripts the same facts as the graph: whether the controller link is up, error counts since launch, and whether this Mac and your other bridges still have the network. Publish it over MQTT, call an API, or send a notification when the controller is unreachable but the rest of the house is fine. MyroSystem.isControllerConnected() answers the simple question. • Zone status in scripts — a zone in an armed area used to report "bypassed" whether it was bypassed, restored, or merely open. Zone handlers now also receive a details object with the raw status byte and each field named, so a restore is simply bypassed going from true to false. • "*" for every handler — event handlers that take a zone, unit, audio zone, lock, thermostat or area name now accept "*" to match all of them; the callback still receives the specific name. • Script editor follows Dark Mode. • Copy for AI (compact) now includes every event handler's signature, so an AI assistant can write onZoneChange and the Lutron handlers without the full guide. • The Helper now announces itself on your local network, so Myro:Home on iOS can confirm it is running from the About screen. • HTTP API: set flags and outputs directly — the new flag route (/helper/{controllerID}/flag/{number}/{value}) takes 0–255 with the proper flag command, and the output route switches an output on or off. Setting a flag through the unit route capped at 100 and turned 100 into 1. • "Alert when bypassed" fired for every zone in an armed area, because armed was mistaken for bypassed. It now fires only for a bypass. • MyroSensors.isDataFresh() now means "confirmed during the current controller connection": a value stays fresh while the connection is live even if it has not changed, and reads false after a disconnect or restart until a new status arrives. Scripts that treated it as "changed in the last five minutes" should re-check their logic. • Bug fixes and stability improvements throughout the app.

Ethernet Quality: a record of your controller connection's health. • Ethernet Quality — the Helper now keeps an hourly record of the health of its connection to your controller: corrupted messages, dropped and half-open sessions, and failed connection attempts, together with whether the rest of your network was reachable at the time. An intermittent connection is hard to diagnose after the fact; a record kept from before trouble starts is what makes it possible to tell a panel's failing network hardware apart from cabling trouble or the network itself. • View the trend under Graphs as "Controller Ethernet Quality". The chart notes plainly whether recorded events happened while the rest of your network stayed healthy — the distinction that matters when deciding what to fix. • On by default and inexpensive — one small sample per hour. Turn it off per controller under Logging → Data Log Event Types. • Bug fixes and stability improvements throughout the app.

Objects that change on your controller, Sonos speakers that move, and steadier HomeKit. • Objects that change on the controller are handled properly. If your controller reports a different object under a number you had renamed or marked as a favorite — which happens when Lutron integration IDs are re-indexed — the Helper no longer carries the old name, favorite and HomeKit settings over to the new device. A unit whose control type changed also drops the display state that belonged to the old hardware. • Objects you delete on the controller now disappear from the Helper after a sync, instead of lingering as items that can never be controlled. If a script still refers to one by name, the Helper tells you which script and which object, so a rename on the controller doesn't quietly break an automation. • A Sonos speaker that changes IP address is found again. Announcements used to fail silently when a speaker's DHCP lease moved, with the speaker plainly working in the Sonos app. The Helper now recognizes the speaker by its room name, uses the address it is actually on, and remembers it. Group announcements on older S1 systems are addressed to the speaker that plays for the group. • Fewer interruptions while HomeKit is in use. Syncing or pruning objects while HomeKit was reading them could stop the Helper; it now passes over anything that has just been removed. • One script handler can now cover both Lutron systems. onLutronDeviceChange and onLutronButtonPress fire for LEAP bridges and RA2 repeaters alike, so a home with both no longer needs two copies of the same script. Existing protocol-specific handlers are unchanged. • Log and graph improvements. Exported log rows are terminated correctly so they import cleanly, opening a graph on a large sensor log uses far less memory, and log rotation no longer removes an old archive before the replacement has been written. • The Scripting Guide adds a section on RadioRA2 keypads, including why a keypad added to the Omni as a unit does nothing and how to make one work from the Helper. • The AI scripting reference now names your Pico and keypad remotes, and lists the button numbers each one sends. They were missing before, so a script written against the reference could listen for a remote by a name that did not exist and quietly never run. • Bug fixes and stability improvements throughout the app.

No more false phone-line alerts. • Fixed a false "Phone Line Dead" notification that could follow a phone call. When the controller reported two events at once — the line going back on hook and a program running, say — the second was misread as a dead phone line. Events are now read correctly, and camera-trigger events are no longer mistaken for phone-line events either. • With phone-line logging turned on, the Log records the exact event code the controller sent with each phone-line event, so a false dead-line report can be told from a real one. • A phone line reported dead while a call is in progress is no longer treated as a fault — the controller sends that same report when the line is simply in use. Dead-line alerts now follow the controller's own trouble status, so you are told when the line is really down and left alone when it isn't. • Corrected another form of the thermostat reading glitch. Myro:Home Helper already recognized when a HAI thermostat sends a temperature or setpoint about 115 degrees too high for a single update; the same controller quirk can also send one about 58 degrees too high, which is what a thermostat sitting near 75 degrees shows. Both are now recognized and corrected, so the current temperature, setpoints and outdoor temperature stay accurate — and so do your graphs and anything that reacts to them.

Fixes launching on Intel Macs. • Version 4.01 could not open on Intel-based Macs ("Check with the developer to make sure Myro:Home Helper works with this version of macOS"). The app's bundled frameworks were built for Apple silicon only; 4.02 ships universal builds of all of them. Apple silicon Macs were not affected. Everything new in 4.0: Version 4.0 — MQTT, Sonos announcements, and scripting that knows your devices. Your Omni controller can finally join the rest of your smart home — and speak up when something needs you. • Sonos announcements. Have your scripts speak through your Sonos speakers: "Garage door still open," "Water leak in the basement," "Someone's at the front door." Announcements duck the music and put it right back, so nothing you're listening to gets stopped. Click Discover and every Sonos room on your network turns up in a list to tick — address any room by name, or a whole group at once. • Trigger scripts from MQTT messages. Subscribe with topic wildcards, and JSON payloads arrive already parsed — no boilerplate. Pair it with Sonos and any sensor on your broker becomes a spoken alert. • Publish from scripts with the new MyroMQTT commands, including retained topics. Helper also announces its own online/offline availability, ready to drop into Home Assistant. • Set up one or more brokers under Add-ons ▸ MQTT: passwords kept in the Keychain, a one-click connection test, and automatic reconnection that restores every subscription. • Play your own sound files through Sonos too — a chime, an alarm, a recorded message — from a folder the app opens for you. • Wired into a whole-house or paging amplifier? Tick Chime and set a lead-in, and announcements start with a tone and a pause so the amplifier is awake before the first word. Works on older Sonos systems as well as current ones. • Three ready-made script templates to start from — two for MQTT, one for spoken Sonos alerts. Scripting got easier too. Type Unit. (or Zone., Thermostat., Flag., and more) in the script editor and pick from your controller's actual device names — no more hunting for exact spelling, and no more scripts that quietly do nothing because a name was off by a space. Custom names you've given devices work in scripts as well. The Execution Log now shows just the script you're looking at, updates live as its handlers fire, and copies to the clipboard as text — paste it into an AI along with the script and ask what went wrong. And a Lutron Pico no longer needs an assigned load to trigger a script: enroll it in the hub, name it, and press. Scripts can now also react to the controller's own text messages, and show or clear them. Sensor graphs are smoother and more honest. Auto-refresh now fetches only new readings instead of the whole history, the chart updates in place without flashing, and outlier removal looks at every series — setpoints and outdoor temperature included — marking each set-aside reading with a red cross you can hover, rather than silently hiding it. And a quirk in HAI thermostats that reports a temperature 115° too high for a single moment at a state change is now recognised and corrected as it arrives, so it never reaches your scripts, HomeKit, or your log files. And grab an AI-ready copy of the whole scripting reference from the Help menu — now including your real device names — then paste it into the AI assistant of your choice and just describe the automation you want.

Version 4.01 — no more freezes from scripting. • Fixed a freeze (spinning beachball) that could occur when a script sent to a Vestaboard that didn't respond, and a rarer freeze that never cleared when a script re-ran while the controller was reconnecting. Scripts and their event handlers now run entirely off the app's main thread, so nothing a script does can hold up the window. • A script or event handler that runs longer than 30 seconds is now stopped, and the message names the script. Previously a script stuck in a loop held up every other script for that controller until the app was restarted. • Saving a script now checks it without running it. Validation used to execute the whole script, so a save could send real commands to your controller. • Editing MQTT brokers no longer pauses the app while the old connections close.

Connection and notification reliability. • Improved responsiveness when communicating with your controller — commands and status updates no longer wait behind other app activity. • Fixed a rare crash that could occur while reconnecting to the controller. • Behind-the-scenes updates to keep your security alerts and Live Activities delivering reliably.

Notifications tab improvements. • Added download buttons next to each app in the Notifications tab — including Myro:Home Pro — making it easy to get the right companion app on each of your devices.

Scripting engine stability hardening. • Fixed several rare crashes that could occur while scripting was enabled, especially with event handlers (e.g. ScriptEvents.onZoneChange) firing during frequent zone status updates. • Script event handlers and timers now execute on a dedicated serial queue for improved reliability. • Test push notifications now respect the per-controller Myro:Home / Myro:Home Pro checkboxes, matching real alerts.

Lutron level updates fix. • Fixed Lutron device levels not refreshing live. In Lutron → Devices, the Level column now tracks your lights in real time as they dim and brighten, instead of only updating when you disable and re-enable the bridge.
