* Fixed several issues with on-demand Dark Mode/Light Mode transitions.
* Action Panel: Fixes for media panel becoming too big with specific media images.
* Alexa: Fixed activity mismatch that could recognize activities in incorrect rooms if the activity name alone matched.
* Alexa: Remember Alexa-specific room instead of overlapping the current room of the local device.
* Alexa: Added Link Alexa Skill button to Settings.

version 6.3.1

Jul 14, 2020 Version 6.3.1
* Minimum required iOS version is now 13.4.
* Added "Set Room" command for Siri/Shortcuts.
* Improvements to cloud sync and HomeKit sync.
* Device Editor: Added new switch to force relay mode off for a specific device.
* Added channel logos to user image selection.
* Added Samsung 2020 TV auto-discovery.
* Improved responsiveness for Hub Relay devices like Denon receivers and LG TVs from non-Primary devices.
* Fixed Music app macOS re-pairing issues.
* Restarting an Apple TV Activity now always induces a complete reset of control.
* Harmony Synchronization: Automatic discovery and bi-directional current activity synchronization with Harmony Hubs. Add a Harmony Hub to the room in which it belongs, make sure your Activities share the same names, restart your Primary, everything else is automatic. This feature requires an always-on Primary Controller for Roomie, and a Hub-based Harmony product such as Elite, Companion, or Pro. [6.2.0]
* Sonos Cloud Control: We now support two methods for Sonos speaker control. Our original direct LAN control method continues to work well and supports unique features like media browsing. The new cloud control method introduced in this release offers essentially all of the LAN functionality without media browsing. While this is the current parity with other industry software and is all that Sonos officially offers, we will continue to offer both methods for as long as the LAN method continues to work. We want to make sure we offer our users a known-certified control method going forward for Sonos rather than the method we have used for many years that has been extensively refined and is loved by many. We encourage using the original method if it suits you while new users may want to start with the new Cloud Service method. The new method does have some unique functionality as well including the new .PLAYER ANNOUNCE command that allows playing arbitrary URLs for MP3 files on your Sonos speaker. [6.2.0]

version 6.2.1

Apr 21, 2020 Version 6.2.1
* Video Camera Object Detection: RTSP cameras can now detect most common objects like people, cars, or buses. Objects are outlined. This feature is experimental. Voice notifications will occur for any person or bus while all object types are identified on screen. This defaults to off and must be turned on for each camera in the Advanced settings of the camera in Devices. Note that this feature requires a modern iOS device (minimum A12 CPU) to perform at an acceptable level.
* Hover support for iPadOS 13.4+ with a mouse/trackpad and macOS.

* Anthem MRX x20 receiver models now provide feedback. (Make sure to Force Update Codesets and reload.)
* Fixes for Music on macOS 10.15.4+.
* Removed Nest from the Cloud Service new pairing list as they terminated all APIs for all third parties in August 2019. If you already have Nest paired to Roomie and working (not sure this is true for anybody), it may continue to work. For die-hard Nest users (we have long recommended switching to Honeywell or Ecobee instead), one way today to use Nest with Roomie is Homebridge Nest which does work (for us anyway) – though the pairing and setup process can be extremely complex and is obviously not certified by Nest and they could break that at any time.
