<p>It&rsquo;s time for the August release and there is some serious good stuff this time. The core of Home Assistant has gone some serious clean up and a bump in test coverage thanks to <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>. If you&rsquo;re a developer, make sure you read up on <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/pull/251">the deprecation notices</a>. <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> did another great round of documentating all the various components.</p>
<p><strong>MQTT Support</strong><br>
<img src='/images/supported_brands/mqtt.png' style='border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;' height='50' />
The big new addition in this release is the support for the MQTT protocol by <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> with some help from <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>. It will now be possible to integrate any IoT device that talks via MQTT. For the initial release we support connecting Home Assistant to a broker (no TLS yet). Components can now subscribe and publish to MQTT topics (<a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/blob/dev/config/custom_components/mqtt_example.py">see the example</a>) and also support for the automation component <a href="/components/automation.html#mqtt-based-automation">has been added</a>. For more information, see <a href="/components/mqtt.html">the MQTT component page</a>.</p>

<p>Home Assistant has learned a new trick to get the latest information from the server: streaming updates. No longer will the frontend poll every 30 seconds for updates but instead it will keep a connection open and get the latest changes pushed as soon as they happen.</p>
<p>A new toggle has been added ot the sidebar to turn streaming updates on and off. This preference will be saved on a per-browser basis using local storage. The toggle will also indicate when there is an error setting up a stream after which it will fall back to use polling.</p>
