v26.3.0 (167)

What's New
- New Topology tab (Pro): a map of your Thread mesh and HomeKit bridges, drawn from the connections HomeMapper can measure. It names the mesh leader and channel and warns you if the network has split. Tap a device for details, or tap a line to see that link's signal and how stable it has been. Export the map as a PNG, PDF, or SVG to save or share.
- Matter over Thread devices now show how they connect: the parent router each one uses, its signal strength, and a new stability reading that flags devices that keep reconnecting to the mesh even when the signal looks fine.
- The device list gains new columns: Connected via (the bridge, hub, or parent router a device connects through), a single Signal column covering both network response time and Thread link strength, plus Thread Channel and Thread Stability.
- New Thread Topology Scan toggle in Settings > Discovery (Pro). For new users, IP Network and the topology scan start on; turn the scan off for faster scans when you don't need the map.
Bug Fixes
- Long scans now finish when you leave the app instead of being cut short. (#1253)
- On iPhone, the search field on the Devices tab no longer locks up the second time you use it. (#1245)
- Lights, switches, and sensors behind a Matter-provisioned bridge are no longer labeled as Matter devices — only the bridge itself is. (#816)
- Accessories behind a Matter bridge are no longer marked as missing a setup code — the bridge holds the only code there is. (#1256)
- Devices that answer late in a scan are no longer dropped from the results. (#1181)
- Devices that announced they were leaving the network no longer show up as present. (#1180)
- Some Apple devices found only on the IP network no longer show the incorrect icon.
- Devices found only on the local network and not in HomeKit or Home Assistant, like printers and NAS boxes, are now discovered. (#1141)
- Various other minor fixes & improvements.
Known Issues
- Home Assistant: multiple instances aren't supported yet (#689)
- The topology map doesn't include Home Assistant's Thread network yet (#517)
- A device can still appear as more than one row when it's seen on several protocols at once, and IP-only devices can show a raw network name instead of a friendly one (#688, #672, #762, #1085)
iOS/macOS Bugs or Limitations
- Topology map: some Thread devices can't be placed on the mesh. Devices set up with an Apple Home code report their role but not their connections (an Apple limitation), and some Matter over Thread devices don't report their neighbors (a device limitation). They're shown in a separate group (#690)
- Some HomeKit-controlled devices aren't fully surfaced by iOS: Apple TVs configured in Apple Home aren't returned at all, and HomePods/Apple TVs land in the Unassigned group (#734, #683)
- The scan banner in the Dynamic Island can render with transparent text (an iOS 26 bug) (#692)
