UPDATE 10/15/16: Today we published what we believe to be a comprehensive and stable update, and as such we're labeling this a Release Candidate and making it a wide release. It includes numerous features, updates, and fixes, including:
- OSRAM/Sylvania Lightify bulbs are now supported
- Complete mobile app overhaul
- New live security display
- Live updating mobile app (no more refresh needed to update device status)
- IntelliMode system mode capability
- Updated REST web services
- And much, much, much, more...!
UPDATE 9/6/16: In addition to the below, as well as fixes for reported bugs over the last few days, a new beta has been released that has IntelliMode enabled. IntelliMode allows you to set system modes like Home, Away, Vacation, and custom modes. These work in concert with events. For example:
Use as an Event Trigger: When house changes to Away mode, do this....
Use as an Event Action: When Event runs, change house to Away mode....
Use as an Event Condition: When Event is triggered, only perform the actions if the house is in Away mode...
Original Post:Hot off the presses! The first wide-release beta of the CastleOS 2.0 branch! This includes all the backend upgrades and updates. The purpose of this beta is primarily to check the upgrade works correctly. This includes:
- the fix for the Insteon Hub CPU bug
- a brand new event processing engine that supports device properties like "temperature" as triggers, as well as conditions
- the current weather can also be used as an event condition
- all hard-coded references have been replaced by a modular structure for devices and protocols
- the new driver API (all existing internal drivers were converted)
- the new device API (all existing devices are converted)
- you can now change the color of the blue bar on top (each user gets their own)
- climate sensors are supported
- BloomSky weather stations (and weather stations in general) are supported
This is just a short list off the top of my head of some of the majors. In the coming days we'll be rolling out a bunch of app features that we'll be announcing separately. Once we're sure the base backend is stable in the wild, we'll roll out the rest.
To that end, before installing this beta, please be sure to backup configuration.xml and log.sdf (not log.log!) in case anything goes wrong with the update process.
Download HereThanks!

P.S. This is labeled version 1.3.3025 (or higher), but it is indeed the 2.0 branch. The version number will get bumped to 2.0 with the formal release.
