CasaRay 1.8 restores quicker access to Assistant and makes the compact launcher your choice. • Ask CasaRay returns as a floating chat and voice launcher on iPhone and compact iPad for eligible users. • The launcher is enabled by default and can be disabled or restored under Settings > Your Experience > Appearance. • Regular iPad and Mac continue to provide Assistant from the sidebar. • The floating launcher no longer reserves page space, keeping controls and scrolling layouts unchanged.

CasaRay 1.6 expands CasaRay across Apple devices and makes everyday control faster and more reliable. • Apple Watch now ships with the iPhone app, with compact home status, manual controls, and optional Assistant voice through the paired phone. • CarPlay adds an approved voice-first Assistant experience plus bounded manual controls in Apple’s system templates. • Assistant actions start faster, report progress more accurately, recover more reliably, and avoid recent main-thread stalls. • Home, Lights, and Climate layouts adapt better from compact iPhone screens to iPad and Mac, including room-level climate controls. • App and website localization has been reviewed and improved across English, Polish, German, Spanish, French, and Italian. • Store disclosures now describe ChatGPT requirements, Assistant data handling, and the shared CasaRay Plus entitlement more clearly.

CasaRay 1.5 makes Home more informative while keeping it calm and stable. • Choose which household members and places appear, see current presence on a private map, and request Distance or Route only when useful. CasaRay does not track device location in the background or retain route history. • Energy now shows clearer live solar, grid, and battery flow, battery level and reserve, and estimated runtime or charge time when the available data supports it. Today, Week, and Month views add more dependable electricity, gas, and water history. • Connection state is now a compact, stable status dot instead of layout-shifting banners. Tap it for a detailed state and privacy-safe Support Diagnostics. • Camera playback can now be muted. Live Wall starts muted and gives each stream its own audio control, with Mute All always available. • Waste collection cards show both the weekday and how many days remain. • Notification actions now distinguish CasaRay history from active Home Assistant notifications and provide explicit dismissal choices. • Home actions, people avatars, and responsive layouts are more stable and consistent across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

CasaRay 1.4 is a major camera, large-home, and Apple-platform update. • New Plus Live Wall on iPad and Mac: view up to four cameras on iPad or six on Mac, select one audio source, or mute the wall. • Faster and more reliable WebRTC, including native video and receive-only audio on Mac. Automatic streaming can prioritize Fastest Image (WebRTC → MJPEG → HLS) or Preserve Audio (WebRTC → HLS → MJPEG), with persistent per-camera choices. • Redesigned iPad and Mac navigation, Home, Cameras, Settings, and camera detail layouts, with adaptive room mosaics, direct sidebar access, and same-window Mac viewing. • Better ultra-wide camera framing, fresher snapshots, clearer live connection state, reliable camera option menus, camera detections, and configurable camera action buttons. • Private on-device camera diagnostics help troubleshoot WebRTC, HLS, and MJPEG without recording video, images, credentials, URLs, hostnames, or camera names. • Consistent light and dark appearance, paired day/night Home artwork, aligned Access and control rows, and improved presentation across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. • Faster startup and smoother large-home operation, with stronger foreground recovery, more stable live state, and consistent browsing for Lights, Blinds, Climate, Garden, and Access. • A new Privacy & Data screen and clearer Free-versus-Plus information explain what stays local and what remains available without a subscription.

CasaRay now resumes a healthy Home Assistant connection when you return to the app, keeping your home visible instead of rebuilding the screen. Navigation uses native tabs, preserves scroll position, and handles large homes and camera mosaics more efficiently. Live Activities for watering, mowing, and vacuuming are more reliable. Dark mode, configurable larger tabs, lights, locks, gates, covers, notifications, and waste schedules have also been improved.

CasaRay now gives you more consistent controls for lights, doors, covers, media, and garden devices, while sensitive actions still ask for confirmation. Energy screens make live power, total usage, solar, battery, grid flow, and top consumers easier to understand. Widgets make better use of every size, and detailed door controls now show the latch when supported.

CasaRay Free now connects one complete Home Assistant home with live controls, cameras, widgets, basic notifications, and everyday personalization. CasaRay Plus now focuses on notification management, imported dashboards, and advanced organization. This update also adds direct Home Assistant handoff and moves CasaRay's website, support, and notification service to casaray.dev.

Notifications now arrive through CasaRay and remain available in a dedicated inbox. This update also improves Home Assistant notification setup, device-linked automation visibility, large-home performance, navigation consistency, and light and access state handling across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
