Firewalla Local 1.1.5 is a host identity and service reliability release focused on making host selection behave more consistently and making host-name data line up better with what you see in Firewalla.
In this release:
- Fixed host-targeted services so MAC-based selectors work reliably even when lowercase MAC addresses are provided.
- Expanded the host name mapping service output with group names and DHCP reservation details.
- Adjusted host-name precedence to prefer Firewalla’s
namefield overbnamefor better alignment with the Firewalla app and MSP in common cases. - Updated the related test coverage to match the current host normalization and mapping behavior.
- Prepare Firewalla Local 1.1.5 release by @ccpk1 in #9
What to do next:
If you use host-targeted services, update to 1.1.5 and retry any automations or service calls that previously failed to resolve devices when MAC addresses were passed in lowercase. If you rely on the host name mapping service for troubleshooting, scripting, or inventory exports, you should now see richer output with group and DHCP reservation context. If you notice any host names that still do not line up with the Firewalla app in your environment, please open an issue with examples so the remaining edge cases can be compared.
🌟 Is this working for you?
Bug reports are always useful, but confirmation that things are working is just as valuable. If 1.1.5 fixes host selection issues for you or the updated naming behavior better matches what you expect from Firewalla, please consider starring the repository or leaving a short note in discussions or issues. That feedback helps prioritize where to spend the next round of effort.
