Everstra Hub — Release notes
Every release since the first version, newest first.
v0.1.0
2026-09-13
- Everstra Hub brings what your Axis camera knows and can do into Home Assistant — over MQTT, encrypted, and across sites through Tailscale if you want it. Hub makes no decisions of its own: it supplies the building blocks, sensors and switches, and you build the automations yourself. That goes far beyond what Home Assistant reads from an Axis camera on its own.
- New: module status in Home Assistant — whether Everstra Live, Overlay and Capture are installed and running, their version and licence state, how many Live streams are on air, and the state of Capture's jobs.
- New: camera metrics discovered per model — temperatures, CPU load and memory, network link, storage, I/O ports, tampering and day/night events, the stream settings of each view area such as resolution, frame rate and target bitrate, and image settings. Hub publishes only what the camera itself reports, and every value can be switched on or off individually.
- New: control back into the camera — start and stop Live streams, switch Capture jobs on or off, and set writable image settings. Each writable value has to be enabled deliberately: nothing is writable by default, and nothing that deletes can be reached.
- New: MQTT over TLS (LibreSSL) with certificate verification. For a self-signed broker such as the Home Assistant Mosquitto add-on, upload its certificate instead of switching verification off.
- New: across sites through the Tailscale app's HTTP proxy — the camera reaches a broker in another building or another town without opening a port.
- New: configuration export and import as one JSON file — connection, certificate and camera selection. The broker password is never part of the export.
- New: the Privacy page — every connection Hub opens, built from your actual configuration, exportable and always available.
- New: Everstra Hub is an Axis-signed ACAP application, countersigned by Axis Communications — it installs even on cameras configured to reject unsigned apps (AXIS OS 11.11 and later).
