Unable to connect core lightning node with Zeus

I have connected my lightning node to Zeus and it works perfectly and I’ve been using it for quite some time, however, I’m unable to connect my core lightning node with the Zeus wallet.

I decided I would make contact with the Zeus team via Telegram on this issue. They informed me that Umbrel is out of date and needs to update the REST API. I will attach a screenshot of the correspondence below.

Does Umbrel have any intention of updating the REST API so that we can connect our core lightning nodes with Zeus?

You need to install the Alby Hub app on Umbrel. There you can create a Connection Zeus can use. It works via NWC protocol - all free and easy.

Alby Hub doesn’t work with CLN afaik. Bumping this thread to ask the Umbrel devs if they can update the REST API. Thanks!

The cln-application for Core Lightning has been updated to version 0.0.7. This release includes a bunch of new features, including CLNRest, which should help resolve the issues with Umbrel and the Zeus connection. Any ETA on an update, @smolgrrr ?
