Sensor changelog

2.1.36

Beta Current 22 October 2026 · Unified sensor image

Unified sensor 2.1.36 public beta. One factory image covers the NanoPi Zero2, Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, WLAN Pi Go and WLAN Pi Pro, and the signed A/B OTA updates existing unified installs.

• Updates keep the packages, /etc edits, services and accounts you added, and the phone apps show what will be kept before uploading.
• Grafana and Prometheus are now an optional add-on, leaving about 1.9 GiB free in the system slot.
• Tailscale is yours to configure, including your own Headscale server, a "Managed by me" mode and a version policy.
• A phone can set the sensor's clock, and the sensor writes much less to its storage.
• Cockpit is no longer in the image; owners who turned it on keep it.

2.1.34

Beta 9 October 2026 · Unified sensor image

Unified sensor 2.1.34 public beta brings the recent local-console and standalone work into signed factory and A/B OTA images. One factory file retains profiles for NanoPi Zero2, Raspberry Pi 4/5, WLAN Pi Go and WLAN Pi Pro. Radio and panel support depend on installed hardware.

• Local Pi 5 touch tools and Full Console, with 180° case orientation and a persistent 30/60 Hz refresh choice (30 Hz is the default; 60 Hz is experimental).
• Owner-managed Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and touchpad pairing with pairing-code/PIN prompts, saved bonds and reconnect.
• Deliberate ESP32-C5 USB backup and update through the Linux sensor, controlled from a phone browser. Qualified hardware is C5 revision 1.0 with 8 MiB flash.
• Scoped local HTTPS API credentials and jobs, authenticated OpenAPI, TLS MQTT publication, private-CA and ACME certificates, a local stdio MCP adapter and investigation exports, all usable without an app or website account.
• Sequential 5/6 GHz WCN7850 band sweeps with relative, uncalibrated FFT levels.

2.1.29

Beta 4 October 2026 · Unified sensor image

WLAN Commander Sensor 2.1.29 is a public beta, with one signed factory image for NanoPi Zero2, Raspberry Pi 4/5, WLAN Pi Pro and Go. The separately signed OTA artifact is for existing unified-ab-v2 installations and preserves Data. Factory flashing erases storage; Data expands on first boot.

• Grouped ESP32-C5 USB spectrum on 2.4 and 5 GHz, and an RF tests page with finite packet and tone runs and explicit Start/Stop.
• Supported front panels show a device-specific setup QR and a larger readable one-time code.
• Fresh setup has no universal password: you choose the password for the website and the wlanpi SSH account.
• Direct USB setup where the board and cable provide USB Ethernet.

2.1.25

Beta 2 October 2026 · Unified sensor image

WLAN Commander Sensor 2.1.25 is a public beta candidate built from the published 2.1.24 runtime and its exact shared Linux 7.3.0-rc1+ kernel package. One signed factory image contains profiles for NanoPi Zero2, Raspberry Pi 4/5, WLAN Pi Pro and Go. The separate signed OTA image is for existing unified A/B installations and preserves Data. Factory flashing erases storage; Data expands at first boot.

• A modern local console with Dashboard, Wi-Fi, Capture, Spectrum, Network tests, RADIUS, Results and Device pages.
• Authenticated private gateways to Kismet and optional Grafana and Cockpit.
• Orb monitoring with explicit enable, pause and resume, a summary and vendor account linking; fresh images keep it off.
• Persistent SQLite accounting for default CfreeRADIUS sites, with statistics, RadSec and guarded reverse CoA/Disconnect in the private management API.
• NetAlly NXT-2000 USB spectrum with bounded sessions and shared device ownership.

2.1.24

Beta 1 October 2026 · Unified sensor image

WLAN Commander 2.1.24 is a public beta unified image for NanoPi Zero2, Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, WLAN Pi Pro and WLAN Pi Go. One factory download includes the matching board profiles, Linux 7.3.0-rc1+, A/B updates and automatic Data expansion.

• One factory download for NanoPi Zero2, Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, WLAN Pi Pro and Go, with Linux 7.3.0-rc1+, A/B updates and automatic Data expansion.
• The Commander web portal, front-panel integration, temperature and power health, and automatic Pi 5 FAN-socket control.
• A bounded experimental WCN7850 802.11mc single-peer FTM helper, disabled by default.

AirWire 7.3.0

Stable Current 23 October 2026 · AirWire image

WLAN Commander for the Ubiquiti U-AirWire, first public release. It runs WC's own Linux 7.3.0 sensor image on the AirWire's two Wi-Fi 7 radios (5 GHz and 6 GHz). It installs into the AirWire's secondary firmware slot and keeps Ubiquiti's own firmware, so you can return to stock from the app.

• Scan and capture on both QCN9224 radios, 5 GHz up to 160 MHz and 6 GHz up to 320 MHz, with channels you choose.
• The phone keeps its own internet.
• The app makes a full factory backup before anything is written, then installs, verifies the first boot, and can return the unit to stock BS.8.7.11.
• WC's own fan control and front status display.

A separate image for the Ubiquiti U-AirWire, installed from the app. Download and install instructions.
