Imagine knowing how a smart device will actually perform in your home before you buy it… not from a spec sheet, but from anonymized data that people running setups just like yours have opted to share. Having answers to questions like: will this sensor work without the cloud? Is that smart plug actually being reported by users as reliable? Does “local control” mean local always, or just sometimes? Will these devices work well across protocols? What this device looks like in other users’ homes?

That’s the idea behind the Open Home Foundation Device Database: a community-powered resource built from anonymized data shared voluntarily by Home Assistant users around the world. The aim: to give people the information they need to benefit from privacy, choice, and sustainability in their smart homes.

Having easy access to this wealth of data changes everything. With the device database at your fingertips, you’ll know upfront that there are 1000+ Home Assistant users running that smart plug fully locally, and it includes those voltage and wattage sensors you were looking for. Or if you see a sensor everyone’s raving about requires Bluetooth when your protocol of choice is Zigbee, the database could save you the hassle of buying it in the first place.

Of course, there are some excellent device databases and compatibility lists already available. Our own Works with Home Assistant (WWHA) program puts products through their paces in home settings, which has taught us how vital real-world testing is. But to really understand how devices perform across the incredibly diverse range of setups out there (different integrations, hardware combinations, network connections, and protocols) we need data at a much larger scale. That’s what makes the device database different: it’s thousands of real homes opting in to contribute real anonymized data. And that’s only possible with your help.

Building together

Creating the device database is a big job, and we’re going to need your help to do it. Before we build a shiny new website or complex search engine, the first step is to make sure the data you opt to share with us is accurate, anonymized, and meaningful, so we’re prioritizing:

• Privacy first: The information we collect strictly follows our privacy principles: we don’t collect any personal data, period. Instead, we only share aggregated versions of device data, ensuring our community gets the insights they need without compromising anyone’s privacy. Check out our Data Use Statement for details.
• Real-world context: Our device database is centered around anonymized device data from Home Assistant instances of users who choose to participate through this new Labs feature.
• Laying the groundwork: To prepare the first stage of this initiative, we invited members of the Open Home Foundation, our commercial partners, and a range of Home Assistant users, to opt into sharing their device data with us. This collaborative start has helped us aggregate more than 2,000 unique devices across more than 160 integrations, with lots more to come.
• Transparency: We’ve launched an initial public dashboard for aggregated statistics and data downloads, giving you a first look at the insights as they grow. Of course, we won’t stop there, as we’re approaching this step-by-step…

Nothing happens overnight

Like everything we do, the Device database initiative follows a steady, iterative approach, which takes time. We want to be honest: nothing happens overnight. We don’t believe in hiding away for years behind closed doors just to launch our vision of a “perfect” finished product (spoiler: there’s no such thing as perfect!). Instead, in the true open source fashion, we build in the open, release early experiments, and refine them based on how our community actually uses them.

Right now, in these early stages, our focus is on planting the seeds and gathering the first shoots of real-world information, as well as your feedback. This way, the tools we build later can grow and evolve alongside your needs.

The next steps

Following our iterative philosophy, we have a roadmap of small, manageable milestones designed to gather feedback at every step:

1. Launching in Home Assistant Labs

We are introducing the Open Home Foundation device database as a Labs feature in the 2026.2 release of Home Assistant. The idea is to broaden visibility and reach a wider audience (hello, that means you 👋) willing to contribute by opting in to share their device data and providing valuable feedback.

2. Putting the data in your hands

Building on the further insights and feedback we gather, we’re planning to launch the first public device database web interface in the first half of 2026. The plan is to make it easier for you to explore and interact with the information, beyond simple statistical dashboards.

While this initial version will be far from the final version (if there ever is one!). By getting it into your hands as early as possible, we can better understand where to go next, and make sure our future work is focused on the most valuable features for you.

3. Encouraging community contributions

Right from the start, we’re establishing simple flows to enable you to contribute more easily, allowing you to enrich the device database by adding real-world insights, all under the watch of our community. The result: an authentic and unbiased source of truth that helps everyone make informed decisions when it comes to privacy, choice, and sustainability in the smart home.

Now it’s over to you!

Because this project belongs to the community, we need your perspective early and often to help shape what comes next.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. The device database will only become a definitive resource through consistent, collective effort over the coming months and years, but bit by bit, device by device, we can make something great together! Here’s how you can be part of it:

• Enable Device Analytics: If you use Home Assistant, opting into Device Analytics in the Labs menu is the direct way to contribute to the device database.
• Provide feedback: We’ve created a simple survey form so you can let us know what you think of the initiative, and why you’d like to contribute (or not!).
• Join the discussion: We also have a dedicated Discord channel and want to hear what matters most to you: how can we make the device database a flourishing resource the community can trust for years to come?

Together we’ll build a transparent, open, and community-driven map of the real-world smart home ecosystem: one that gets better with every contribution. We hope you’ll be part of it.

Hi,

The OpenWrt community is proud to announce the fourth release candidate of the OpenWrt 25.12 stable series.

Download firmware images using the OpenWrt Firmware Selector:

• https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org?version=25.12.0-rc4

Download firmware images directly from our download servers:

• https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/25.12.0-rc4/targets/

Please test this version

This is not the final version, this is a test version. Please report problems and bugs in our issue tracker.

Highlights in OpenWrt 25.12

OpenWrt 25.12.0-rc4 incorporates over 4300 commits since branching the previous OpenWrt 24.10 release and has been under development for over one year.

Only the main changes are listed below. See changelog-25.12.0-rc4 for the full changelog.

General changes

The hardware requirements did not change significantly, most devices supported by OpenWrt 24.10 should also work with OpenWrt 25.12.

Switch package manager from opkg to apk

OpenWrt has transitioned from the traditional opkg package manager to apk (Alpine Package Keeper).

This change brings several advantages:

• apk is still maintained, the OpenWrt opkg fork was not maintained any more.

apk supports most features of opkg. Only very few package names changed. The command line arguments of apk are different from the command line arguments of opkg.

For users migrating existing systems, an official opkg to apk cheatsheet is available to ease the transition and map common workflows.

Integration of attended sysupgrade

The attended sysupgrade LuCI application is now installed by default.

ASU allows devices to:

• Upgrade to new OpenWrt firmware versions
• Automatically rebuild firmware images with all currently installed packages
• Preserve system configuration during upgrades

This dramatically simplifies upgrades: with just a few clicks in LuCI and a short wait, a custom firmware image is built and installed without manual intervention.

Shell history is preserved

Shell command history is now preserved across sessions by storing it in a RAM-backed filesystem.

Benefits:

• Command history is no longer lost between logins
• No unnecessary writes to flash storage by default

For users who prefer persistent history storage, this behavior can be changed by editing: /etc/profile.d/busybox-history-file.sh

⚠️ Note: Storing history on flash will increase write cycles and may impact flash endurance over time.

Integration of video feed

The OpenWrt video feed with Qt5 and UI applications is integrated by default.

Wi-Fi scripts in ucode

The wifi scripts were rewritten in ucode.

Target changes

• Extend realtek target with support for more switch SoCs like 10G Ethernet switches.
• Extend qualcommax target with support for ipq50xx and ipq60xx SoCs.
• Added siflower target for Siflower SF21A6826/SF21H8898 SoCs
• Added sunxi/arm926ejs subtarget for Allwinner F1C100/200s SoCs

Many new devices added

OpenWrt 25.12 supports over 2180 devices. Support for over 160 new devices was added in addition to the device support by OpenWrt 24.10.

Core components update

Core components have the following versions in 25.12.0-rc4:

• Updated toolchain:
  • musl libc 1.2.5
  • glibc 2.41
  • gcc 14.3.0
  • binutils 2.44
• Updated Linux kernel
  • 6.12.66 for all targets
• main packages:
  • cfg80211/mac80211 from kernel 6.18.7
  • hostapd master snapshot from August 2025
  • dnsmasq 2.91
  • dropbear 2025.89
  • busybox 1.37.0

In addition to the listed applications, many others were also updated.

Upgrading to 25.12

Upgrading from 24.10 to 25.12 should be transparent on most devices, as most configuration data has either remained the same or will be translated correctly on first boot by the package init scripts.

• Sysupgrade from 23.05 to 25.12 is not officially supported.

• Cron log level was fixed in busybox. system.@system[0].cronloglevel should be set to 7 for normal logging. 7 is the default now. If this option is not set, the default is used and no manual action is needed.

• Bananapi BPI-R4: Interfaces eth1 was renamed to sfp-lan or lan4 and the interface eth2 was renamed to sfp-wan to match the labels. You have to upgrade without saving the configuration.

Scratch installs/upgrades

If you wish to start from scratch (always the safest, but also the most work), simply download the pre-built image from the downloads site or from the Firmware Selector to your device. Make sure to create and save a backup, then install the image using sysupgrade -n /tmp/firmware.bin or the LuCI Backup/Flash Firmware, being sure to set "Keep settings and retain the current configuration" to its off position. Restore or reconstruct your configuration using the contents of the backup as a template.

Attended Sysupgrade options

Attended Sysupgrade (ASU) allows you to build a custom image that retains all of your installed packages and their configuration transparently. You need to use one of the three ASU clients that interface with the ASU server to produce this custom image:

• Firmware Selector - an online builder that requires you to manually supply it with the packages you wish to have installed. This package list is sent to the ASU server, and a new custom device image is created containing those packages. You may then download and install the image in LuCI Backup/Flash Firmware, but for this you would enable "Keep settings..."
• Luci Attended Sysupgrade - the web interface to the ASU server. This tool allows you to choose a new OpenWrt version, then collects the names of the packages on your device and sends them up to the ASU server. LuCI ASU then downloads the created image directly to your device and allows you to install it, without having to do any of the bookkeeping tasks involved with using the Firmware Selector.
• owut - a command line package that does the same job as LuCI ASU, but provides more diagnostics and better visibility into what's happening at the various steps before and during the build process.

Both the LuCI ASU app and owut are optional packages in 24.10, so if you have not installed them, they won't be there by default. Use either the LuCI Package Manager to install them, or you can do it from the command line with opkg:

$ opkg update
$ opkg install luci-app-attendedsysupgrade
$ opkg install owut

Note that you can install one or the other, or both together, they are completely independent packages.

Upgrades with Firmware Selector

The Firmware Selector does an excellent job of searching through the thousands of available device configurations and getting you to the right place. But, some devices have several variants and possibly different image formats, so if you're unsure about which one you need or which device you're dealing with or anything else, go to the |Firmware Selector support thread and ask away.

Upgrades with LuCI Attended Sysupgrade

The LuCI web interface should be fairly self explanatory. Since you have fairly limited options there that should be pretty obvious, but if anything is unclear or you're unsure about something, go to the LuCI Attended Sysupgrade support thread and ask.

Upgrades with owut

If you choose to use owut, the fact that it's a command line program means you'll need a little more explanation regarding best practices. In any situation, it's always safe to do a check to see what's going on.

$ owut check --verbose --version-to 25.12
... a lot of output ...

This check should show you all the details of what this upgrade entails with regards to the packages available, and will point out any issues with package versions and so on.

Assuming the results of the check look good, you can simply do an upgrade next.

$ owut upgrade --verbose --version-to 25.12
... even more output ...

If you are unsure of anything you see in the check, during the upgrade, or simply have questions, jump on over to the owut support thread on the forum and ask.

Known issues

• Users of Zyxel EX5601-T0 devices need to check their WAN interfaces as port was renamed from eth1 to wan.
• The rockchip target does not build. rockchip will be included in the next release candidate again.

Security Fixes and Rewards

Note: Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix. We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven’t yet fixed.

Interested in switching release channels? Find out how here. If you find a new issue, please let us know by filing a bug. The community help forum is also a great place to reach out for help or learn about common issues.

Changes from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1:

Updates:

• Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-3-g5d467

Changes:

• Expanded the debug logging functionality.

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where player could get stuck on "Opening" when the graph worker thread malfunctioned. This happened on a few Windows 11 systems when opening files from Windows Search. We were unable to reproduce it, so root cause is unknown, likely an obscure Windows bug.
• Several small fixes and improvements.
