thank you, the update went well, I have another question, does it support wifi pairing or only devices with mettre support? is it possible and how to pair devices with ewelink support in the weifi OS itself?

@spoustaml Thank you for your question. In this beta version, the Wi-Fi feature is not supported yet. To connect SONOFF/eWeLink Wi-Fi devices, you can use the eWeLink Smart Home Add-on to sync the devices from the app to CUBE OS for local control; you can refer to the initial steps of this tutorial.

However, your suggestion to pair directly with Wi-Fi devices is on our roadmap, and we plan to implement this in future versions, so please stay tuned!

Which version of the Home Assistant in Docker is 32-bit or 64-bit?

The version you need depends on the architecture of your host machine. You can find the corresponding version for your architecture on Docker Hub.

Iā€™m waiting for the raspberry pi5 I ordered, but in the meantime Iā€™m considering my options.
