<p>The frontend of Home Assistant is served with the help of a local web server. If you have <a href="/getting-started/devices/#customizing-devices-and-services">customized</a> your installation you already use this functionality. The content of your folder <code class="highlighter-rouge">www</code> in your Home Assistant configuration directory (<code class="highlighter-rouge">.homeassistant</code>) is available under <code class="highlighter-rouge">/local</code> (eg. <a href="https://localhost:8123/local/index.html">http://localhost:8123/local</a> for an <code class="highlighter-rouge">index.html</code> file).</p>
<p>But there is more you can do! You can not only host images for customization there but HTML files or even web applications including CSS and Javascript.</p>

<p>Another sprint has come to an end and it seems that we have not slowed down a single bit 🚀. 0.12 is full of new components, platforms and organizational additions.</p>
<p>I would like to give a shout out to <a href="https://github.com/pavoni">Greg Dowling (@pavoni)</a> as every release includes new work from him. He is constantly adding support for new platforms or improving the reliablity of existing components and platforms. Keep up the good work!</p>
<p>This release includes a very frequent requested feature: the ability to organize entities in different tabs in the frontend. See <a href="/demo/">the demo</a> to see this in action and read more in the <a href="/components/group/">group documentation</a> how to get started.</p>

<p>As Home Assistant is gaining more and more users we started to feel the pain from not having a proper release mechanism. We had no version numbering and required users to checkout the source using Git to get started. On top of that, as the number of devices that we support keeps raising, so did the number of dependencies that are used. That’s why we decided to change the way we roll. From now on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Each release will have a version number, starting with version 0.7. This was chosen because it shows that we have been around for some time but are not considering ourselves to be fully stable.</li>
<li>Each release will be pushed to PyPi. This will be the only supported method of distribution.</li>
<li>Home Assistant is available after installation as a command-line utility <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass</code>.</li>
<li>The default configuration location has been moved from <code class="highlighter-rouge">config</code> in the current working directory to <code class="highlighter-rouge">~/.homeassistant</code> (<code class="highlighter-rouge">%APPDATA%/.homeassistant</code> on Windows).</li>
<li>Requirements for components and platforms are no longer installed into the current Python environment (being virtual or not) but will be installed in <code class="highlighter-rouge">&lt;config-dir&gt;/lib</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>A huge shout out to <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus">Ryan Kraus</a> for making this all possible. Please make sure you read <a href="/blog/2015/08/31/version-7-revamped-ui-and-improved-distribution/#read-more">the full blog post</a> for details on how to migrate your existing setup.</p>
<p>And while Ryan was fixing distribution, I have been hard at work in giving Home Assistant a face lift. We already looked pretty good but lacked proper form of organization for users with many devices. The new UI moves away from a card per entity and has cards per group and domain instead. <a href="/demo/">The demo</a> has been updated so give it a spin.</p>

<p>As Home Assistant is gaining more and more users we started to feel the pain from not having a proper release mechanism. We had no version numbering and required users to checkout the source using Git to get started. On top of that, as the number of devices that we support keeps raising, so did the number of dependencies that are used. That’s why we decided to change the way we roll. From now on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Each release will have a version number, starting with version 0.7. This was chosen because it shows that we have been around for some time but are not considering ourselves to be fully stable.</li>
<li>Each release will be pushed to PyPi. This will be the only supported method of distribution.</li>
<li>Home Assistant is available after installation as a command-line utility <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass</code>.</li>
<li>The default configuration location has been moved from <code class="highlighter-rouge">config</code> in the current working directory to <code class="highlighter-rouge">~/.homeassistant</code> (<code class="highlighter-rouge">%APPDATA%/.homeassistant</code> on Windows).</li>
<li>Requirements for components and platforms are no longer installed into the current Python environment (being virtual or not) but will be installed in <code class="highlighter-rouge">&lt;config-dir&gt;/lib</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>A huge shout out to <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus">Ryan Kraus</a> for making this all possible. Please make sure you read <a href="/blog/2015/08/31/version-7-revamped-ui-and-improved-distribution/#read-more">the full blog post</a> for details on how to migrate your existing setup.</p>
<p>And while Ryan was fixing distribution, I have been hard at work in giving Home Assistant a face lift. We already looked pretty good but lacked proper form of organization for users with many devices. The new UI moves away from a card per entity and has cards per group and domain instead. <a href="/demo/">The demo</a> has been updated so give it a spin.</p>

<p>It has only been a little over a week since Theodor introduced YAML support for Home Assistant but so much has already happened that it is time for a summary of recent changes. Before mentioning the highlights I want to thank <a href="https://github.com/andythigpen">andythigpen</a>, <a href="https://github.com/jamespcole">jamespcole</a> and <a href="https://github.com/theolind">theolind</a> for numerous bug fixes, enhancements and new contributions. Thanks!</p>
<p><strong>Monitor local resources.</strong><br />
Theodor has contributed a new sensor platform to allow you to monitor disk usage, memory usage, CPU usage and running processes. This platform has superseded the process component which is now considered deprecated.</p>

<p><strong>Experimental Z-Wave support</strong><br />
There is now experimental support for connecting Z-Wave networks using a Z-Wave USB stick. Right now it only integrates Z-Wave sensors into Home Assistant. Our goal is to get this tested by more people before adding support for other Z-Wave devices.</p>
<p>The new component is built on top of <a href="https://code.google.com/p/python-openzwave/">python-openzwave</a>. This package is currently not distributed on PyPi so we’ve added a script <code class="highlighter-rouge">scripts/build_python_openzwave</code> to install it on your machine. Alternatively you can use the Docker image which is ready to go.</p>
<p>The development was done using an AEON Z-Wave USB stick and an AEON Z-Wave MultiSensor.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">zwave</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">usb_path</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">/dev/ttyUSB0</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p><strong>Voice control</strong><br />
An initial version of voice control for Home Assistant has landed. The current implementation consists of two parts.</p>
<p>The first part is a component called <code class="highlighter-rouge">conversation</code> that exposes the service <code class="highlighter-rouge">conversation/process</code>. This service is capable of processing text and translating them into commands for devices. For now it will only support commands in the format of <code class="highlighter-rouge">Turn &lt;Friendly Name&gt; &lt;on/off&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>The second part is an upgrade to the frontend to use the speech-to-text in Chrome to allow users to speak commands. If you’re using Chrome, you can test this out in <a href="/demo/">the demo</a>.</p>

<p>This release brings some great new integrations. The biggest one is the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/zha/">native ZigBee integration</a> by <a href="https://github.com/rcloran">Russell Cloran</a>. This will allow Home Assistant to natively control Philips Hue lights without the need for a hub! (IKEA Tradfri lights not yet due to implementing a different profile)</p>
<p>Another great new addition is <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/opencv/">OpenCV</a> by <a href="https://github.com/Teagan42">Teagan Glenn</a>. So now you’ll be able to unlock all the cool stuff from OpenCV right in Home Assistant. And if OpenCV is not your style, you can try out the new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/image_processing.dlib_face_identify/">DLib integration</a> added by <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">Pascal Vizeli</a> in this release.</p>
<p>This release also includes a <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/rss_feed_template/">new component</a> to dynamically generate RSS feeds based on a template. This means that any RSS widget on your phone, tablet or computer can now be used to show Home Assistant data!</p>
<p>And finally, for users of the config panel in the UI, we have fixed the issue with the group editor.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

<p>You may already know from our social media channels and the release blog post for 0.41: We are now an award-winning Open source project. The jury of the <a href="https://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/tkmag/allgemein/zammad-home-assistant-und-freifunk-das-sind-die-gewinner-des-thomas-krenn-awards-2017/">Thomas-Krenn-Award</a> put us on the 2nd place. This is an awesome achievment for an independent community project.</p>
<p>I would like to thanks all contributors. Your endless effort made this possible.</p>
<p><img src="/images/blog/2017-04-award/award.jpg" style="border: 0;box-shadow: none;" /></p>
<p>The prize beside the very nice trophy contains hardware and we want to give that hardware partically away. We won four <a href="https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/products/low-energy-systems/les-v2.html">Low Energy Server v2 (LES)</a> units with an Intel Celeron N2930, 8 GB of RAM, and a mSATA of 128 GB (one unit with 64 GB). We were thinking about to keep one of those units in Europe and one in North America for testing and to use during workshops and events. But the other two will go to interested parties.</p>
<p>As a raffle would be to easy, we make a contest out of it. This means that we are looking for your application. Of course, we would like to see those systems goes to active or future developers who can justify their need for one of the systems to run CI, UI tests, public accessible Home Assistant demo instances, etc. At the other hand we would like to keep it open, to see with what people are coming up. Please participate as well if you are planning to automate the public school of your kids with 1000 switches or light, need a server to run it, and want to provide regular feedback about the user experience.</p>
<p>Create an entry in our <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/c/contest-2017">Forum</a>. Be creative and use your imagination.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="the-details" href="#the-details"></a> The details</h3>
<ul>
<li>Jury: The Home Assistant community</li>
<li>Dead line: April, 23 2017 - 23.59 UTC</li>
<li>Voting period: April, 24th till April, 30 2017 - 23.59 UTC</li>
</ul>
<p>The decision of the jury will be final. If there will be a dispute then the Top-5 commiter of the Home Assistant organisation on Github will decide. Also, we reserve us the right to ban applications if we suspect cheating or unfair methods. Updates will be available in the <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/c/contest-2017">Forum</a> and on <a href="https://twitter.com/home_assistant">Twitter</a>.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that you may have to pay the fee for customs handling and the import duty by yourself. The plan is to ship the hardware from Germany. If you are located in a country with import/export regulations, we may not be able to ship the hardware to you.</p>

<p>You may already know from our social media channels and the release blog post for 0.41: We are now an award-winning Open source project. The jury of the <a href="https://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/tkmag/allgemein/zammad-home-assistant-und-freifunk-das-sind-die-gewinner-des-thomas-krenn-awards-2017/">Thomas-Krenn-Award</a> put us on the 2nd place. This is an awesome achievment for an independent community project.</p>
<p>I would like to thanks all contributors. Your endless effort made this possible.</p>
<p><img src="/images/blog/2017-04-award/award.jpg" style="border: 0;box-shadow: none;" /></p>
<p>The prize beside the very nice trophy contains hardware and we want to give that hardware partically away. We won four <a href="https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/products/low-energy-systems/les-v2.html">Low Energy Server v2 (LES)</a> units with an Intel Celeron N2930, 8 GB of RAM, and a mSATA of 128 GB (one unit with 64 GB). We were thinking about to keep one of those units in Europe and one in North America for testing and to use during workshops and events. But the other two will go to interested parties.</p>
<p>As a raffle would be to easy, we make a contest out of it. This means that we are looking for your application. Of course, we would like to see those systems goes to active or future developers who can justify their need for one of the systems to run CI, UI tests, public accessible Home Assistant demo instances, etc. At the other hand we would like to keep it open, to see with what people are coming up. Please participate as well if you are planning to automate the public school of your kids with 1000 switches or light, need a server to run it, and want to provide regular feedback about the user experience.</p>
<p>Create an entry in our <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/c/contest-2017">Forum</a>. Be creative and use your imagination.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="the-details" href="#the-details"></a> The details</h3>
<ul>
<li>Jury: The Home Assistant community</li>
<li>Dead line: April, 23 2017 - 23.59 UTC</li>
<li>Voting period: April, 24th till April, 30 2017 - 23.59 UTC</li>
</ul>
<p>The decision of the jury will be final. If there will be a dispute then the Top-5 commiter of the Home Assistant organisation on Github will decide. Also, we reserve us the right to ban applications if we suspect cheating or unfair methods. Updates will be available in the <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/c/contest-2017">Forum</a> and on <a href="https://twitter.com/home_assistant">Twitter</a>.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that you may have to pay the fee for customs handling and the import duty by yourself. The plan is to ship the hardware from Germany. If you are located in a country with import/export regulations, we may not be able to ship the hardware to you.</p>

<p>Tonight I’m happy to announce a new release of the our Raspberry Pi image, <strong>HASSbian 1.1 - The Toy-box.</strong><br />
Why Toy-box you wonder? Because it encompass the changes pretty well.</p>
<p>Changes from previous image are big and small but lets start with the interesting things.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="hassbian-scripts" href="#hassbian-scripts"></a> Hassbian-scripts</h3>
<p>A set of script written to add extra functionality to your Raspberry Pi installation.
This scripts are run as the <code class="highlighter-rouge">pi</code> user and installs a set of tools or packages.
Currently includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Install Libcec. Adds local <a href="/components/hdmi_cec/">HDMI CEC support</a>.</li>
<li>Install Mossquitto. Installs the latest Mosquitto package and client tools from the Mosquitto projects official repository. Now includes websocket support.</li>
<li>Install OpenZWave. Installs OpenZWave and prepares for using a USB or GPIO ZWave controller.</li>
<li>Install Samba. Installs the Samba packages and shares your configuration over smb to be available to edit on any computer without the need for separate file transfer software. This share is unsecured and it’s usage is not recommended if your installation is publicly available.</li>
</ul>
<p>All of these scripts are available in the directory <code class="highlighter-rouge">/home/pi/hassbian-scripts/</code>. This directory is actually a cloned git repository that’s cloned on first boot and can be updated to the latest release with ease after.
To update the hassbian-scripts directory execute the following command as the <code class="highlighter-rouge">pi</code> user.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span><span class="nb">cd </span>hassbian-scripts
<span class="gp">$ </span>git pull
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>To use any of the hassbian-scripts, execute the following command as the <code class="highlighter-rouge">pi</code> user. Here we use the libcec script as an example.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>sudo ./hassbian-scripts/install_libcec.sh
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>For more information about these scripts have a look a the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/hassbian-scripts">hassbian-scripts repository</a>.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="spring-cleaning" href="#spring-cleaning"></a> Spring cleaning</h3>
<p>With this image there also quite a bit of cleaning of the base system and the script that generates our Raspberry Pi image.</p>
<ul>
<li>Update pi-gen. Our build script has been upgraded to follow the Raspbian image closer. This image is basically a Raspbian lite image with Home Assistant, dependencies and a small set of changes to the base system.</li>
<li>Removed Mosquitto. Not as bad as it sounds since it’s installation has been move to one of our new hassbian-scripts.</li>
<li>Added rng-tools. Let’s your HASSbian installation use the hardware support in the Raspberry Pi for entropy generation.</li>
<li>Added avahi-daemon package. Your Raspberry Pi should now be available at <a href="hassbian.local">hassbian.local</a>.</li>
<li>Added htop. User friendly interactive process monitor.</li>
<li>Added tmux. A great terminal multiplexer that makes working with the command line over ssh easier.</li>
<li>Added the <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant</code> user to the <code class="highlighter-rouge">dialout</code> group. Simplifies use of hardware such as ZWave USB controllers that requires this permission.</li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="on-the-horizon" href="#on-the-horizon"></a> On the horizon</h3>
<p>There’s of course more on the horizon and there’s even more plans and wishes for how this image will function in the future.
On the close horizon from <a href="https://github.com/Landrash">@Landrash</a> there a few more script in the works and for tellstick, emulated_hue and for controlling Home Assistant.</p>
<p>To follow discussions about the development of the HASSbian image or to contribute join our <a href="https://discord.gg/8X8DTH4">Discord chat server</a>.</p>

<p>This week’s blog post could only be possibly described by exactly one hashtag:</p>
<h1>#Amazing</h1>
<p><sup>or <sup>maybe<sup>#supersized</sup></sup></sup></p>
<p>Keep reading to see what <strong>#Amazing</strong> things we have in store for you this week 😄! And make sure you read all the way to the end, because I left a present down there for those committed few among you :)</p>
<p>But first…</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="some-general-housekeeping" href="#some-general-housekeeping"></a> Some general housekeeping</h2>
<p>Paulus (<a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>) is on vacation in Europe this week, so you will all have to deal with me, Robbie (<a href="https://github.com/robbiet480">@robbiet480</a>) for this release blog post. Don’t worry, Paulus will be back to tearing apart your pull requests in no time 😈.</p>
<p>Special thanks to my awesome helpers for this week’s release who are looking over my shoulder to make sure I’m crossing my t’s and dotting my i’s: <a href="https://github.com/Teagan42">@Teagan42</a>, <a href="https://github.com/infamy">@infamy</a> and <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a>.</p>
<p>For my next trick, let’s hand out some…</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="trophies" href="#trophies"></a> Trophies</h2>
<p>I felt that I had to 1-up Paulus (<a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>) somehow with his 500,000 pageviews stat he shared in the <a href="/blog/2016/08/13/foursquare-fast-com-ffmpeg-gpsd/">0.26 blog post</a>, so I pushed myself and our development community as a whole super hard the last two weeks to put a lot of love into Home Assistant to bring you not just one, but six <strong>#Amazing</strong> stats for this release. As of 0.27, we have now surpassed the following milestones:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://travis-ci.org/home-assistant/home-assistant/builds/154660811">10,000</a> builds on Travis (congrats to <a href="https://github.com/BluGeni">@BluGeni</a>)</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/3000">3,000</a> issues and pull requests (thanks <a href="https://github.com/kellerza">@kellerza</a>!)</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/2991">2,000</a> pull requests alone (awesome <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a>!!)</li>
<li>900 forks on Github!</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition,</p>
<ul>
<li>We are very close to 4,000 stars on Github!</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/graphs/contributors">I’m now #5 contributor by most commits!!!</a> Hey wait, how’d this get in here 😳…</li>
</ul>
<p>Now that we have that great news out of the way, onto this week’s release which is going to keep the <strong>#Amazing</strong> gravy train rolling right along and get to the stuff you all <em>really</em> are here for.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="027" href="#027"></a> 0.27</h2>
<p>While this release is <strong>#Amazing</strong>, we had to break a few eggs (now you understand the title reference!) to make a beautiful omelette (using home automation obviously) so some platforms and components have needed to introduce breaking changes. Please make sure to read the <a href="#breaking-changes">Breaking Changes</a> section below.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="hue-bridge-emulation" href="#hue-bridge-emulation"></a> Hue Bridge Emulation</h3>
<p>Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/mgbowen">@mgbowen</a> we now have the functionality previously provided by <a href="https://github.com/blocke">@blocke</a>’s <a href="https://github.com/blocke/ha-local-echo">ha-local-echo</a> <a href="/components/emulated_hue/">built right into Home Assistant</a>! This means that for those of you with devices that either lack or have a subpar integration with Home Assistant (looking at you Amazon Echo) you can now have a better experience by having your Home Assistant pretend to be a Hue Bridge. Personally, I have used <a href="https://github.com/auchter">@auchter</a>’s <a href="https://github.com/auchter/haaska">Haaska</a> previously but found that it was slow to respond and sometimes failed entirely. With the new <a href="/components/emulated_hue/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">emulated_hue</code></a> component, you can have local control of entities through Amazon Echo.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="notification-improvements" href="#notification-improvements"></a> Notification improvements</h3>
<p>We have some excellent upgrades to the notification system coming to you in 0.27, courtesy of me, <a href="https://github.com/robbiet480">@robbiet480</a>.</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="html5-push-notifications" href="#html5-push-notifications"></a> HTML5 Push Notifications</h4>
<p>This release adds support for <a href="/components/notify.html5/">HTML5</a> push notifications on Chrome/Firefox/Opera on both desktop and Android devices. This means that you can send a notification to your phone even when your Home Assistant is not open in your mobile browser. When using Chrome you can even include 2 action buttons so that you can control your Home Assistant from your phone’s lock screen, allowing you to do things like sound alarms or unlock your front door, all without leaving the notification. Thanks again to me (<a href="https://github.com/robbiet480">@robbiet480</a>) and Paulus (<a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>) for all the hard work on this!</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/screenshots/html5-notify.png" />
</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="notification-groups" href="#notification-groups"></a> Notification Groups</h4>
<p>Using the new notify <code class="highlighter-rouge">group</code> platform allows you to cut down a lot of duplicate automation logic by combining multiple notification platforms and <code class="highlighter-rouge">target</code>s into a single notify service. Check out the <a href="/components/notify.group/">docs</a> for more info.</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="target-is-no-longer-needed" href="#target-is-no-longer-needed"></a> <code class="highlighter-rouge">target</code> is no longer needed!</h4>
<p>For platforms that support it, starting with the new HTML5 platform, any <code class="highlighter-rouge">target</code>s that are available will be exposed as individual services, so no more having to remember which <code class="highlighter-rouge">target</code>s to use. Please note that the existing services also still exist so you can keep using <code class="highlighter-rouge">target</code> if you wish.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="validate-configuration-before-restarting-home-assistant" href="#validate-configuration-before-restarting-home-assistant"></a> Validate configuration before restarting Home Assistant</h3>
<p>Ever restarted Home Assistant to test a configuration change just to find out there is a validation error? Well, not anymore! <a href="https://github.com/kellerza">@kellerza</a> has added a command line script that will validate your configuration as if you started Home Assistant.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>hass --script check_config
</code></pre>
</div>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="configuration-validation" href="#configuration-validation"></a> Configuration validation</h3>
<p>This release includes a big push on making sure all platforms contain proper configuration validation. This should help in getting your configuration right. Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a>, <a href="https://github.com/pavoni">@pavoni</a>, <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a>, <a href="https://github.com/nkgilley">@nkgilley</a> for all the hard work on this, you all rock!</p>

</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="ffmpeg-motionnoise-sensing" href="#ffmpeg-motionnoise-sensing"></a> FFMpeg motion/noise sensing</h3>
<p>It’s now possible to use <a href="/components/binary_sensor.ffmpeg/">FFMpeg</a> to monitor a video stream and detect motion thanks to a new binary sensor platform by <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a>.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="component-clean-up---thermostat--hvac---climate-rollershutter--garage-door---cover" href="#component-clean-up---thermostat--hvac---climate-rollershutter--garage-door---cover"></a> Component clean up - Thermostat &amp; HVAC -&gt; Climate. Rollershutter &amp; Garage Door -&gt; Cover.</h3>
<p>Due to our wild growth we ended up with a few components that had a lot of overlapping functionality. <a href="https://github.com/turbokongen">@turbokongen</a> took on the hard job on merging them. Thermostat and HVAC platforms are now combined under the new Climate component. Rollershutter and Garage Door platforms are now combined under the new Cover component. You can easily upgrade by just swapping out the name. For example replace <code class="highlighter-rouge">thermostat</code> with <code class="highlighter-rouge">climate</code>. The old components have been deprecated and will be removed in the near future.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="a-new-fan-component" href="#a-new-fan-component"></a> A new <code class="highlighter-rouge">fan</code> component</h3>
<p>Along with the new <code class="highlighter-rouge">climate</code> component, <a href="https://github.com/Teagan42">@Teagan42</a> and I (<a href="https://github.com/robbiet480">@robbiet480</a>) decided we needed something simpler to just control a fan. Currently it has support for controlling Insteon fans. MQTT support will appear in 0.28.0. I tried to get it implemented before 0.27.0 but spent too long writing this blog post 😢.</p>

</ul>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="finishing-up" href="#finishing-up"></a> Finishing up</h2>
<p>Thanks all for sticking with me to the end. I’ll be taking over a lot of Paulus’s (<a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>) work while he is gone, but as I said, don’t worry because he’ll be back well before 0.28.0 comes out. Hopefully you didn’t find this jovial blog post too jarring from our standard style, I just wrote a lot of this at 2am after being awake for almost 20 hours, so I’m a little loopy hahaha 😴.</p>
<p>Also, thanks as always to our developer contributors, documentation contributors, but most of all our users! This would’ve just been a script that Paulus (@balloob) used to control his lights at home if we didn’t have your enthusiasm.</p>
<p>Feel free to let me know what you thought of this blog post and release on <a href="https://discord.gg/c5DvZ4e">Discord</a> or my <a href="https://twitter.com/robbie">Twitter</a>, or even the <a href="https://twitter.com/home_assistant">Home Assistant Twitter</a>. Did I mention we have a brand new <a href="https://www.facebook.com/homeassistantio">Facebook page</a> that you should absolutely Like? There’s a convenient Facebook Like and Twitter follow button right on the sidebar.</p>
<p>I almost forgot about your 🎁 for reading all the way to here: a 🍪! Hope you enjoy it in good health 😄.</p>
<p>Talk to you soon on Discord and in your pull request comments!</p>
<p>– Robbie</p>
<p>(p.s. To those of you that scrolled directly to the bottom to get your present, just know that you didn’t earn it like the others did. 😄)</p>

<p>This week’s blog post could only be possibly described by exactly one hashtag:</p>
<h1>#Amazing</h1>
<p><sup>or <sup>maybe<sup>#supersized</sup></sup></sup></p>
<p>Keep reading to see what <strong>#Amazing</strong> things we have in store for you this week 😄! And make sure you read all the way to the end, because I left a present down there for those committed few among you :)</p>
<p>But first…</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="some-general-housekeeping" href="#some-general-housekeeping"></a> Some general housekeeping</h2>
<p>Paulus (<a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>) is on vacation in Europe this week, so you will all have to deal with me, Robbie (<a href="https://github.com/robbiet480">@robbiet480</a>) for this release blog post. Don’t worry, Paulus will be back to tearing apart your pull requests in no time 😈.</p>
<p>Special thanks to my awesome helpers for this week’s release who are looking over my shoulder to make sure I’m crossing my t’s and dotting my i’s: <a href="https://github.com/Teagan42">@Teagan42</a>, <a href="https://github.com/infamy">@infamy</a> and <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a>.</p>
<p>For my next trick, let’s hand out some…</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="trophies" href="#trophies"></a> Trophies</h2>
<p>I felt that I had to 1-up Paulus (<a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>) somehow with his 500,000 pageviews stat he shared in the <a href="/blog/2016/08/13/foursquare-fast-com-ffmpeg-gpsd/">0.26 blog post</a>, so I pushed myself and our development community as a whole super hard the last two weeks to put a lot of love into Home Assistant to bring you not just one, but six <strong>#Amazing</strong> stats for this release. As of 0.27, we have now surpassed the following milestones:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://travis-ci.org/home-assistant/home-assistant/builds/154660811">10,000</a> builds on Travis (congrats to <a href="https://github.com/BluGeni">@BluGeni</a>)</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/3000">3,000</a> issues and pull requests (thanks <a href="https://github.com/kellerza">@kellerza</a>!)</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/2991">2,000</a> pull requests alone (awesome <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a>!!)</li>
<li>900 forks on Github!</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition,</p>
<ul>
<li>We are very close to 4,000 stars on Github!</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/graphs/contributors">I’m now #5 contributor by most commits!!!</a> Hey wait, how’d this get in here 😳…</li>
</ul>
<p>Now that we have that great news out of the way, onto this week’s release which is going to keep the <strong>#Amazing</strong> gravy train rolling right along and get to the stuff you all <em>really</em> are here for.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="027" href="#027"></a> 0.27</h2>
<p>While this release is <strong>#Amazing</strong>, we had to break a few eggs (now you understand the title reference!) to make a beautiful omelette (using home automation obviously) so some platforms and components have needed to introduce breaking changes. Please make sure to read the <a href="#breaking-changes">Breaking Changes</a> section below.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="hue-bridge-emulation" href="#hue-bridge-emulation"></a> Hue Bridge Emulation</h3>
<p>Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/mgbowen">@mgbowen</a> we now have the functionality previously provided by <a href="https://github.com/blocke">@blocke</a>’s <a href="https://github.com/blocke/ha-local-echo">ha-local-echo</a> <a href="/components/emulated_hue/">built right into Home Assistant</a>! This means that for those of you with devices that either lack or have a subpar integration with Home Assistant (looking at you Amazon Echo) you can now have a better experience by having your Home Assistant pretend to be a Hue Bridge. Personally, I have used <a href="https://github.com/auchter">@auchter</a>’s <a href="https://github.com/auchter/haaska">Haaska</a> previously but found that it was slow to respond and sometimes failed entirely. With the new <a href="/components/emulated_hue/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">emulated_hue</code></a> component, you can have local control of entities through Amazon Echo.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="notification-improvements" href="#notification-improvements"></a> Notification improvements</h3>
<p>We have some excellent upgrades to the notification system coming to you in 0.27, courtesy of me, <a href="https://github.com/robbiet480">@robbiet480</a>.</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="html5-push-notifications" href="#html5-push-notifications"></a> HTML5 Push Notifications</h4>
<p>This release adds support for <a href="/components/notify.html5/">HTML5</a> push notifications on Chrome/Firefox/Opera on both desktop and Android devices. This means that you can send a notification to your phone even when your Home Assistant is not open in your mobile browser. When using Chrome you can even include 2 action buttons so that you can control your Home Assistant from your phone’s lock screen, allowing you to do things like sound alarms or unlock your front door, all without leaving the notification. Thanks again to me (<a href="https://github.com/robbiet480">@robbiet480</a>) and Paulus (<a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>) for all the hard work on this!</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/screenshots/html5-notify.png" />
</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="notification-groups" href="#notification-groups"></a> Notification Groups</h4>
<p>Using the new notify <code class="highlighter-rouge">group</code> platform allows you to cut down a lot of duplicate automation logic by combining multiple notification platforms and <code class="highlighter-rouge">target</code>s into a single notify service. Check out the <a href="/components/notify.group/">docs</a> for more info.</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="target-is-no-longer-needed" href="#target-is-no-longer-needed"></a> <code class="highlighter-rouge">target</code> is no longer needed!</h4>
<p>For platforms that support it, starting with the new HTML5 platform, any <code class="highlighter-rouge">target</code>s that are available will be exposed as individual services, so no more having to remember which <code class="highlighter-rouge">target</code>s to use. Please note that the existing services also still exist so you can keep using <code class="highlighter-rouge">target</code> if you wish.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="validate-configuration-before-restarting-home-assistant" href="#validate-configuration-before-restarting-home-assistant"></a> Validate configuration before restarting Home Assistant</h3>
<p>Ever restarted Home Assistant to test a configuration change just to find out there is a validation error? Well, not anymore! <a href="https://github.com/kellerza">@kellerza</a> has added a command line script that will validate your configuration as if you started Home Assistant.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>hass --script check_config
</code></pre>
</div>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="configuration-validation" href="#configuration-validation"></a> Configuration validation</h3>
<p>This release includes a big push on making sure all platforms contain proper configuration validation. This should help in getting your configuration right. Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a>, <a href="https://github.com/pavoni">@pavoni</a>, <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a>, <a href="https://github.com/nkgilley">@nkgilley</a> for all the hard work on this, you all rock!</p>

</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="ffmpeg-motionnoise-sensing" href="#ffmpeg-motionnoise-sensing"></a> FFMpeg motion/noise sensing</h3>
<p>It’s now possible to use <a href="/components/binary_sensor.ffmpeg/">FFMpeg</a> to monitor a video stream and detect motion thanks to a new binary sensor platform by <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a>.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="component-clean-up---thermostat--hvac---climate-rollershutter--garage-door---cover" href="#component-clean-up---thermostat--hvac---climate-rollershutter--garage-door---cover"></a> Component clean up - Thermostat &amp; HVAC -&gt; Climate. Rollershutter &amp; Garage Door -&gt; Cover.</h3>
<p>Due to our wild growth we ended up with a few components that had a lot of overlapping functionality. <a href="https://github.com/turbokongen">@turbokongen</a> took on the hard job on merging them. Thermostat and HVAC platforms are now combined under the new Climate component. Rollershutter and Garage Door platforms are now combined under the new Cover component. You can easily upgrade by just swapping out the name. For example replace <code class="highlighter-rouge">thermostat</code> with <code class="highlighter-rouge">climate</code>. The old components have been deprecated and will be removed in the near future.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="a-new-fan-component" href="#a-new-fan-component"></a> A new <code class="highlighter-rouge">fan</code> component</h3>
<p>Along with the new <code class="highlighter-rouge">climate</code> component, <a href="https://github.com/Teagan42">@Teagan42</a> and I (<a href="https://github.com/robbiet480">@robbiet480</a>) decided we needed something simpler to just control a fan. Currently it has support for controlling Insteon fans. MQTT support will appear in 0.28.0. I tried to get it implemented before 0.27.0 but spent too long writing this blog post 😢.</p>

Apologies for this change, but we needed to make Forecast.io more generic now that we have many weather platforms.</li>
<li>The <a href="/components/sensor.loop_energy/">Loop Energy</a> sensor configuration format changed slightly, please reformat based on the revised documentation.</li>
<li>The configuration for the <a href="/components/sensor.sabnzbd/">SABnzbd</a> sensor has slightly changed. The prefix <code class="highlighter-rouge">type:</code> is no longer required for monitored variables.</li>
<li>The <a href="/components/sensor.imap/">IMAP</a> sensor now uses <code class="highlighter-rouge">username</code> instead of <code class="highlighter-rouge">user</code>.</li>
<li>The <a href="/components/sensor.nzbget/">NZBGet</a> sensor has had so many changes I can’t list them all. Please refer to the documentation for more info.</li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="deprecations" href="#deprecations"></a> Deprecations</h3>
<ul>
<li>Using the <code class="highlighter-rouge">thermostat</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">hvac</code> components has been deprecated. Please migrate to the new <code class="highlighter-rouge">climate</code> component. (just change the component name, the configurations are compatible)</li>
<li>Using the <code class="highlighter-rouge">rollershutter</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">garage_door</code> components have also been deprecated. Please migrate to the new <code class="highlighter-rouge">cover</code> component. (just change the component name, the configurations are compatible)</li>
</ul>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="finishing-up" href="#finishing-up"></a> Finishing up</h2>
<p>Thanks all for sticking with me to the end. I’ll be taking over a lot of Paulus’s (<a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>) work while he is gone, but as I said, don’t worry because he’ll be back well before 0.28.0 comes out. Hopefully you didn’t find this jovial blog post too jarring from our standard style, I just wrote a lot of this at 2am after being awake for almost 20 hours, so I’m a little loopy hahaha 😴.</p>
<p>Also, thanks as always to our developer contributors, documentation contributors, but most of all our users! This would’ve just been a script that Paulus (@balloob) used to control his lights at home if we didn’t have your enthusiasm.</p>
<p>Feel free to let me know what you thought of this blog post and release on <a href="https://discord.gg/c5DvZ4e">Discord</a> or my <a href="https://twitter.com/robbie">Twitter</a>, or even the <a href="https://twitter.com/home_assistant">Home Assistant Twitter</a>. Did I mention we have a brand new <a href="https://www.facebook.com/homeassistantio">Facebook page</a> that you should absolutely Like? There’s a convenient Facebook Like and Twitter follow button right on the sidebar.</p>
<p>I almost forgot about your 🎁 for reading all the way to here: a 🍪! Hope you enjoy it in good health 😄.</p>
<p>Talk to you soon on Discord and in your pull request comments!</p>
<p>– Robbie</p>
<p>(p.s. To those of you that scrolled directly to the bottom to get your present, just know that you didn’t earn it like the others did. 😄)</p>

<p>It’s time for Home Assistant 0.24 and it’s full of new integration for your Home. It contains some structural changes to our history which requires action from your end, so please keep reading.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mapquest.com/">MapQuest</a> discontinued their free and direct tile access by Monday, July 11, 2016. With <a href="https://carto.com/">CARTO</a> we found a very cool and suitable solution. They allow us to use their tile for the map. Thank you, <a href="https://carto.com/">CARTO</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/rhooper/">Roy Hooper</a> did an amazing job migrating the history support from being tied to SQLite to use the ORM SQLAlchemy instead. This means that you can now use <strong>any</strong> SQL backend for the history. So besides SQLite you can now databases like MySQL or PostgreSQL. However, this does require that you install <a href="http://www.sqlalchemy.org/">SQLAlchemy</a> and run a command to migrate your existing history over. We tried to make the process as seamless as possible by introducing a new command line script:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>pip3 install SQLAlchemy
<span class="gp">$ </span>hass --script db_migrator --config /path/to/config
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>You can omit the <code class="highlighter-rouge">--config</code> option if you use the default configuration directory. Run the script with <code class="highlighter-rouge">--help</code> to get more options.</p>

<p>The frontend of Home Assistant is served with the help of a local web server. If you have <a href="/getting-started/devices/#customizing-devices-and-services">customized</a> your installation you already use this functionality. The content of your folder <code class="highlighter-rouge">www</code> in your Home Assistant configuration directory (<code class="highlighter-rouge">.homeassistant</code>) is available under <code class="highlighter-rouge">/local</code> (eg. <a href="https://localhost:8123/local/index.html">http://localhost:8123/local</a> for an <code class="highlighter-rouge">index.html</code> file).</p>
<p>But there is more you can do! You can not only host images for customization there but HTML files or even web applications including CSS and Javascript.</p>
