Every release, with the date on it
What we shipped, when we shipped it, all the way back to the first version.
Shipping since 2024. 79 releases so far. The most important changes are summarised here, and each store has the full notes for every release.
Location-based automations now work across multiple properties. If you have more than one home or office in Zendo, your location-based automations run for all of them automatically, in the background.
Whether you're leaving one property or arriving at another, Zendo uses your location to trigger the right automations at the right place. There's nothing extra to manage, and your location stays private.
There's a completely new way to control grouped lights. Zendo now gives you a single colour wheel for the whole room, making it easier than ever to adjust multiple lights together.
With the new colour wheel, you can see every light at a glance, with each one shown in its current colour. Drag a light to change its colour, or simply drag lights together to group them, then control the group with a single touch. You can switch between colour and warm-to-cool white lighting, and adjust the brightness of a single light, a group, or the whole room with one slider. Zendo also preserves the brightness balance between lights, creating smooth, natural dimming.
Finally, every light is shown along the bottom of the screen with its current colour and a dedicated on/off switch, making it quick to select the light you want.
You can now create light groups directly in Zendo. Simply choose multiple lights when adding an accessory to your floorplan, and control them as one with a single on/off switch and brightness control. For example, if you have three pendant lights over your dining table, you can display them as a single accessory on your floorplan. And if you ever want to adjust one light on its own, you still can.
We've also introduced Smooth Dimming. If the lights in a group are set to different brightness levels, Zendo dims or brightens them together while preserving their relative brightness. The result feels much more natural, without every light jumping to the same brightness.
We've also simplified the experience for guests. Energy, Climate Monitoring, and advanced accessory views such as Batteries and Offline Accessories are now hidden, keeping the app focused on the controls guests use every day.
Kiosk Mode has been completely reworked, giving you far more control over the tablets and displays you've dedicated to Zendo. Once Kiosk Mode is on, your mounted device shows up in Home Assistant and Homey, so your automations can both control it and react to its state.
Wake the screen when someone rings the doorbell or walks up to a nearby motion sensor. Lock the tablet with a PIN when everyone leaves home or you arm the alarm, then unlock it automatically when you're back. Switch to a dimmer, quieter night mode in the evening and back to full brightness in the morning. You can also react to the tablet itself, for example getting an alert if it drops off the network, or putting its charger on a smart plug to keep the battery in a healthier range.
You can also turn a wall-mounted tablet into a full-screen door panel and intercom that rings, shows who's there, and lets you answer on the spot.
You now have a complete view of your home's energy use in one place. Monitor your electricity, water, and gas consumption, as well as solar production, home battery charging, and EV charging, helping you better understand how your home uses energy every day.
Thermostats and climate sensors now include a full history of temperature and humidity readings, making it easier to spot trends and keep your home comfortable over time.
Smart plugs and on/off relays now provide more detailed energy monitoring. You can view the current power draw, along with a history of power usage and total energy consumption, for supported devices on both Home Assistant and Homey.
EV chargers are now supported on Homey. You can start or stop charging, check the current charging status, and adjust settings such as charge limits and charging modes. Supported brands include Easee, Zaptec, go-e, Peblar, Amina, Voltie, Enua, Wallbox, NexBlue, and myenergi. On Home Assistant, EV chargers can also be added to your floorplan as on/off accessories.
Zendo gives you an even better view of your home's safety. Add smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, water leak sensors, and gas leak detectors to your floorplan and instantly see when something needs your attention.
When a safety sensor is triggered, the Activity & Cameras tile turns red so it's easy to spot. You can also pair this with critical push notifications from your Home Assistant or Homey to be notified straight away, wherever you are.
You can now sort rooms in Climate Monitoring. Added support for ONVIF cameras on Homey.
This is one of our biggest updates yet, with a complete redesign of the floorplan to make your home easier to understand at a glance.
Motion, presence, occupancy, and door or window sensors are now part of the floorplan. You can instantly see which rooms are occupied and whether doors or windows are open or closed, directly from your floorplan.
Climate monitoring has also been improved. You can now add humidity and air quality sensors to any room, even without a thermostat or temperature sensor. Zendo automatically combines the information from your floorplan to give you a clearer view of your home's comfort.
We've also redesigned the main menu with new Floorplan Modes, so you can focus on what matters most. Control mode gives you quick access to lights, thermostats, fans, blinds, and other everyday accessories. Security mode brings together smart locks, garage doors, gates, presence sensors, and door or window sensors in one dedicated view.
Finally, Recent Activity has been completely reworked. Activity is now grouped by room and floor, making it much easier to see where something has happened. Tap any room to view the live status of all its accessories and a timeline of recent events, giving you a clear picture of what's happening throughout your home.
Inviting people to your Zendo on Homey is easier than ever. You can now automatically sign in invited users on their behalf, making it perfect for guests, family members, or visitors who don't have a Homey account. Just send the invitation and they'll be ready to get started.
Robot hoovers and vacuum cleaners now support vacuum intensity and vacuum + mop modes on supported devices.
Gates and garage doors are now shown as related accessories when viewing cameras and doorbells, making it easier to control access from one place.
Improved the reliability of camera streaming on iOS for a smoother viewing experience.
Thermostats now support presets, making it easy to switch between modes such as Home, Away, and Boost.
Blinds now support tilt control, perfect for Venetian blinds and pergola roofs.
Instant power consumption is now displayed for on/off accessories, fans, and humidifiers or dehumidifiers. This is the first step in a series of new energy monitoring features.
Fans now support additional modes, such as Quiet and Boost, and can display filter status when available.
Rooms can now have multiple thermostats. You can join the public testing of this new feature directly from the app. Just tap the menu button, then go to Settings > Edit Floorplan, select your thermostat, and choose Request Early Access.
Improved support for Homey, including KNX thermostats, SwitchBot Hub for controlling air conditioning units, Daikin Onecta, and Smarter ThinQ for LG devices.
Floorplan updates are now delivered in real time to all running Zendo apps (requires the latest version of the Homey or HACS integration). This is especially useful for wall-mounted tablets and shared displays, keeping everyone up to date as changes are made. If the app isn't running, you can still manually refresh to download the latest settings.
We've also added more control over the Activity & Cameras tab. You can now choose who can view sensors, making it easy to hide security information from guests or disable the feature entirely.
Finally, you can now choose a default orientation for your floorplans. This is perfect for Macs, wall-mounted tablets, and dedicated control panels. Prefer to let the device decide? Simply leave it on Auto and the floorplan will rotate with the screen orientation.
Outdoor spaces are here. You can now map gardens, patios, balconies, terraces, driveways, pools, and other outdoor areas directly in the Floorplan Designer.
Add outdoor furniture such as sofas, dining sets, and BBQs, and even draw detached structures like sheds and pool houses just as easily as any indoor room.
Once your outdoor space is mapped, you can bring it to life with accessories. Control your garden lights, open the electric gate from the sofa, check outdoor cameras, and manage your outdoor spaces with the same simple experience you enjoy indoors.
You can now add temperature sensors to rooms that don't have a thermostat, so you can monitor the temperature directly from your floorplan.
Nearby Device Pairing is here. You can add a new device to your Zendo by scanning a QR code and pairing over your local network - no link to share and no email to send. It's ideal for wall-mounted tablets and setting up multiple devices in batch.
Support for accessories on Homey has been improved, including support for the latest Tado app (v1.5.0) and Nest Doorbell cameras.
You can now also add your doorbell, even if it doesn't provide a snapshot image. A new Flow card lets you send push notifications and automatically open the doorbell live video when the notification is tapped, helping you see who's at the door more quickly.
Smart doorbells are here. You can now see who's at the door, talk to visitors, and unlock the door if you have a smart lock, all from one screen.
When someone rings the doorbell, Zendo can send a notification with a snapshot image. Tapping the notification opens the live video stream, making it faster and easier to respond from anywhere.
Humidifiers and dehumidifiers are now supported on both Home Assistant and Homey. You can turn devices on or off, adjust modes and target humidity, and monitor humidity levels directly from Zendo. On Homey, you'll also receive a message when the water tank becomes full or empty.
Offline accessories and battery monitoring have been redesigned to provide clearer and more useful information. It's now easier to understand what needs attention, quickly identify devices with low batteries or connection issues, and keep your smart home running reliably.
Air purifiers are now supported on both Home Assistant and Homey. You can control the fan speed, set the mode, and check air quality readings when supported by your device. You'll also receive a reminder when it's time to change the filters.
If you have many lights on your floorplan, you can now hide some when using your phone to keep things clear and simple. You can still control all hidden lights as a group or individually. You can also choose to always show selected lights, such as your bedside lights, so they are always easy to access.
Controlling grouped lights is now much simpler. You can easily control each individual light within a group or room, giving you more flexibility when you need it.
Homey now supports robot hoovers and vacuum cleaners from brands such as Roborock, Dreame, Dyson, Eufy, iRobot, Xiaomi, and SwitchBot.
We've also improved control in Homey for:
Improved support for Shelly, Sonoff, and Lutron devices on Homey, including fans, thermostats, TRV valves, blinds and curtains.

Rooms & Floors is now simpler and easier to use. All floors and rooms are now shown on one screen, so it's quicker to navigate and understand your space.
