    Seems like a big update - do most Z2M updates include this many fixes/additions? I’m new to Z2M and am hesitant about updating unless I see a fix that will directly affect me positively.

    Can anyone here report if they’re having any issues after updating? Looking at the comments, a number of people are reporting their devices not working shortly after updating, but idk if10 or so people posting is a large or small percentage of the user base.

      That seems like a lot of new features for x.x.1 update

      Ideally, in SemVer, I believe xx1 updates would just be bug fixes that are unlikely to have any regressive impacts. It should be the absolute safest to update to automatically.

        No hate to the developer, but Zigbee2mqtt doesn’t really do semver. Features are released in patches and there are no backports of bug fixes to previous versions. I’m running Zigbee2mqtt on NixOS and had to use the unstable nixpkgs branch to make sure I was getting the latest bug fixes.

        But yeah no hard feelings, it’s still a really amazing project that’s done so much for home automation.
