v26.4.1 (178)

2026-09-01

What's New

  • On iPhone & iPad, exporting PDF, PNG, & CSV now opens the share sheet, so you can print, mail, message, or AirDrop a topology map or a setup-code file without saving it first. Save to Files is still available in the share sheet. (#1360)

Bug Fixes

  • When your Home Assistant login expires, HomeMapper now shows a notice before the scan with a Reconnect button. (#1359)
  • A border router that belongs to another home stays on the Topology map when your selected home's devices route through it, with that home's name under it in square brackets. (#1359)
  • Home Assistant's own HomeKit bridge, and the accessories it publishes to Apple Home, no longer show up under Devices Missing Setup Codes. (#1358)
  • Various other minor fixes & improvements.

Known Issues

  • Home Assistant: connecting more than one instance isn't supported yet (#689)
  • Connecting to Home Assistant can fail when it's at a custom hostname, and auto-detect can pick the wrong address (#831, #834)
  • 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, #736)
  • A HomeKit device can read as unreachable while it's working normally, and a camera seen during a scan can be missing from the list (#871, #735)
  • Your modem can show its internet-side address instead of its address on your network (#761)
  • A few device type labels can appear in the wrong language (#856)

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 separate groups (#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)

v26.4.0 (177)

2026-08-25

What's New

  • New Health tab on the Topology screen. What needs attention on your Thread mesh, worst first, with the devices named and something to try for each. Most homes show "Everything looks healthy."
  • The Thread topology map shows every measured connection, including the backup routers a device can fall back on. A link shows a triangle when it's weak, dropping traffic, or has gone quiet. Tap a line for the readings.
  • The Devices screen shows more in its columns and popover: Signal now covers Wi-Fi, Stability shows how long a device has been up and switches to a restart count when it isn't staying up, and Thread Role shows how much of the mesh a router carries.
  • Lifetime Access: for those more inclined to a one-time purchase, you can now buy HomeMapper Pro Lifetime. It never expires.

Bug Fixes

  • The Topology map fits better by default on all devices. (#1335)
  • HomeMapper is more accurate about which Home Assistant devices can hold a setup code and which cannot. (#1339)
  • More specific messages are shown when a Home Assistant scan fails. (#1340)
  • Various other minor fixes & improvements.

v26.3.0 (167)

2026-07-29

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.

v26.2.1 (125)

2026-07-07

Bug Fixes

  • Fewer duplicate rows in your device list: a device that appeared more than once, because it was bridged into HomeKit or paired into more than one platform (like both HomeKit and Matter), now shows as a single device.
  • If you run Homebridge with more than one bridge, HomeMapper now lists each bridge separately instead of collapsing them into one.
  • Onboarding and the Pro welcome screens now fit any screen size: titles and content no longer get cut off, and longer pages scroll instead of running off the bottom.

v26.2.0 (121)

2026-06-24

What's New

  • Save setup codes for your HomeKit, Matter, and Z-Wave devices: scan a QR code, capture a printed code with the camera or a photo, type it in, or bulk-import and export with CSV. A Devices Missing Setup Codes page shows which devices still need one, and a new Setup Codes help page covers it all.
  • iCloud sync keeps your setup codes, Home Assistant logins and connections, and settings in sync across your devices. A Delete iCloud Data action removes just your cloud copies.
  • Clearer backup settings: "Automatic backup" and "Manual backup" replaced the previous "Scan backup" label

Bug Fixes

  • Home Assistant devices are now correctly placed in their assigned Home Assistant home.
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements
