v2.1.0

What’s New?

Your Winix account token will automatically refresh in the background, meaning you no longer need to log in every 30 days to keep your air purifiers connected.

Key Features:

• Automatic Token Refresh: Once logged in, the plugin will handle the token renewal in the background. No more interruptions or manual re-authentication.
• Encrypted Password and Token Storage: Your account password and refresh token are securely stored on disk using encryption.

Important Details:

• You’ll need to re-authorize your Winix account after updating to this version. This one-time step is required since we now securely store your password for the automatic token refresh process.
• Set your own encryption key: I strongly recommend setting the WINIX_ENCRYPTION_KEY environment variable when you start homebridge to your own custom encryption key to keep your stored data secure. If you don't set this, the plugin will use a default static key, which is less secure.
• If you're configuring the plugin manually or using HOOBS, check out the new encrypt-password script to securely store your password in the config file.
