🍎 macOS-Version jetzt verfügbar!

Es gibt jetzt eine macOS-Version von HA DeskLink! 🎉

Repo: https://github.com/TechFlipsi/ha-desklink-mac
Download: Latest Release

⚠️ WICHTIG: Diese Version wurde NICHT vom Entwickler getestet – es steht keine Mac-Hardware zur Verfügung. Die App basiert auf der funktionierenden Windows/Linux-Version und braucht Community-Tester!

Was getestet werden muss:

• Alle Sensoren (CPU-Temp, Akku, Helligkeit, etc.)
• Befehle (Shutdown, Sleep, Lock, etc.)
• Verschiedene Mac-Modelle (Apple Silicon + Intel)

👉 Bitte teste und melde Bugs: https://github.com/TechFlipsi/ha-desklink-mac/issues

Danke für eure Hilfe! 🙏

Hi! 👋 Thanks for your interest in the macOS port!

That's exactly the skillset we need. We have a working Windows version, and a Linux version that's currently in pre-release/beta – it hasn't been tested on a real system yet and we don't know if it even runs. The macOS port would follow the same architecture (C# / .NET 8, Avalonia UI, mobile_app protocol).

What we're looking for:

• SensorManager for macOS (powermetrics, ioreg, system_profiler)
• CommandHandler for macOS (shutdown, pmset, osascript for lock, etc.)
• Autostart via launchd
• Avalonia UI dashboard
• CI pipeline for osx-x64 and osx-arm64

A few things to note:

• The project is German-speaking, but code and docs are in English
• Could you also speak German? That would make communication a lot easier 😊
• We have a Discord server for collaboration: https://discord.gg/HnCZY54U7
• The Linux repo is the best starting point: https://github.com/TechFlipsi/ha-desklink-linux
• The English docs were also created with AI assistance

Note: This message was created with AI assistance.

Would you like to join our Discord so we can discuss the scope and next steps? 🙌

Great news! 🎉 The macOS version of HA DeskLink is now available as a community test release (v2.2.1)!

You can download it here: https://github.com/TechFlipsi/ha-desklink-mac/releases/tag/v2.2.1

What's included:

• CPU temperature & usage, RAM, battery, disk sensors
• Fullscreen sensor, monitor layout, brightness control
• Commands: shutdown, restart, sleep, lock, mute, volume, brightness, monitor on/off, screenshot
• Multi-language (de, en, es, fr, zh, ja)
• HA token encryption (macOS Keychain + AES-GCM fallback)
• Push notifications via WebSocket
• Avalonia UI dashboard (opens HA in browser)

⚠️ This is a community test version – it was created without Mac hardware and has NOT been tested by the developer. We need community testers to verify it actually runs on macOS.

Since you have experience with Avalonia UI and macOS integration, your feedback would be incredibly valuable! Please test it and report any issues at https://github.com/TechFlipsi/ha-desklink-mac/issues

Looking forward to your feedback! 🙌
