[DOCKER] Update CubeOS 2.11.1 to CubeOS 2.12.0

[Jojkoba]

CUBE OS v2.12.0 Now Officially Released!

This release expands device compatibility in CUBE OS and further improves the SONOFF TRVZB experience. Please take a moment to read through the notes before updating to this version.

What’s New

1.New Device Support

Added support for SONOFF MINI-ZB1GP / MINI-ZB1GSP single-channel Zigbee smart switches with electricity monitoring.

2.Expanded Matter Hub Device Support

Matter Hub now supports the following Matter device types:

• • Temperature Sensor
  • Contact Sensor
  • Occupancy Sensor
  • Light Sensor
  • Air Quality Sensor
  • Smoke CO Alarm
  • Generic Switch
  • Dimmable Plug-in Unit

3.Enhanced eWeLink-linked Device Sync Support

Eligible Zigbee sub-devices connected through SONOFF NSPanel Pro 86-Relay and Bridge-M can now be synced to eWeLink CUBE via either the eWeLink Smart Home Add-on or the built-in “Add eWeLink-linked Devices” feature.

4.SONOFF TRVZB Enhancements

Optimized the temperature graph in CUBE CAST with a dynamically adjusted axis based on temperature data.

Bug Fixes

1.Fixed an issue where a blank pop-up box was displayed when configuring temperature and humidity reporting for IKEA air quality sensors.

2.Fixed an issue where SONOFF SNZB-02M could incorrectly show air pressure comfort as out of range when no air pressure comfort range was configured.

3.Fixed an issue where the Node-RED Add-on could fail to install or update on some devices.

Guide to updating CubeOS in Docker, during the update the smart home won’t work.

Commands:

1. sudo docker stop cubeos
2. sudo docker rm cubeos
3. reboot
4. sudo docker pull https://ghcr.io/ewelinkcube/cube-os:2.12.0

I had to give the reboot command because the Raspberry Pi couldn’t start docker pull.

If everything is fine, it looks like this:

:~ $ sudo docker pull https://ghcr.io/ewelinkcube/cube-os:2.12.0

For a new Docker launch on xxx, enter the account name where the CubeOS data is.

docker run -d
–name cubeos
–privileged
–net=host
–restart=unless-stopped
-v /home/xxx/data:/data
-v /run/dbus/system_bus_socket:/host_dbus/system_bus_socket:ro
https://ghcr.io/ewelinkcube/cube-os:2.11.0

If it started successfully, it will look like this output when you run the command sudo docker ps

~ $ sudo docker ps

An example of an htop output when Docker is running successfully, RAM usage is over 1 GB.

@Milk Good job, everything is working. I had assumed that NSPP Gen2 wouldn’t work, or that it wouldn’t be possible to synchronize devices with NSPP.

[Jojkoba]

@Milk You promised a virtual thermostat for CubeOS when will it finally be available? The thermostat in the NSPP is hopeless; while I was away in the summer, it started heating the house all on its own.

[Milk]

I remember you asking about this before. CubeOS currently supports using automation scenes to achieve the same effect as a thermostat, but a standalone thermostat feature is not available yet.

When you say that temperature control on the NSPanel Pro isn’t working, are you referring to the Central Thermostat feature or the thermostat feature from an earlier version?

[Jojkoba]

The thermostat function from the older version. Not everyone has an NSPP, and anyone with a heating controll from CubeOS wants a virtual thermostat.

The eWeLink smart home add-on has logged itself out again. Nothing in the house is working; I’m really fed up with constantly running into the same errors over and over.

Just don’t tell me the Wi-Fi signal is weak when the devices are less than 2–5 meters away from the Wi-Fi access point.

I’ve shared this issue with my colleague @Miao . She will review it and follow up with you directly once she has more information.

This is what artificial intelligence writes about Sonoff updates too.

Sonoff firmware updates (under the eWeLink ecosystem) generally have an average to inconsistent quality. Since Sonoff manufactures budget-friendly consumer electronics, this affordability is sometimes reflected in their software stability.

While the manufacturer regularly releases new versions and bug fixes, their rollouts are frequently accompanied by typical flaws.

Why update quality falls short

Overloaded servers: When an important firmware is released, eWeLink servers often struggle with the load. This causes widespread update failures (such as freezing at 90%).

Insufficient testing: New versions occasionally fix one issue but “break” another crucial feature or degrade connection stability.

Risk of bricking: With more complex devices like Zigbee bridges (e.g., Sonoff ZBBridge), updates can cause connected sensors to go offline or lock up the bridge entirely.
