It's time for the 0.22 release. This was a pretty rough release cycle and we had to issue two hot fixes for our core improvements. But it seems now that all is good and a lot of people have reported that their installs are faster than ever and the occasional quirks no longer occur.

We are aware that our new web stack has caused issues installing Home Assistant on ARM-based platforms. This sadly includes the Raspberry Pi and Synology NAS systems. We're working on getting to a better solution. For Raspberry Pi, the [All-in-One installer] will take care of everything for you. We're working on updating our [standalone Raspberry Pi installation guide].

There are two cool things that I want to highlight in this release. The first is Pandora support. This is based on the CLI player called pianobar. This means that your machine running Home Assistant can be connected to the speakers and provide your house with tunes.

Another cool addition is the local file camera. This seems very basic at first but will allow you to generate a graph with your favorite 3rd party graphing tool and display it on your Home Assistant dashboard. We're looking forward to see what you can do with this!

### {% linkable_title Breaking change %}

- The new Netatmo support caused us to change how Netatmo are configured. It's now done via it's own component.

```yaml
netatmo:
    api_key: API_KEY
    secret_key: SECRET_KEY
    username: username
    password: password
```

### {% linkable_title Hotfix 0.22.1 - June 20 %}
