+ +

I am not Paulus. My name is Ben. I’m the creator of the BRUH Automation YouTube channel. If you’ve ever seen any of my videos then you’ll know I love home automation and Home Assistant.

+ +

I wanted to share some exciting stats from one of my latest projects - Control My Christmas tree! For this project, I created a Home Assistant instance on a Raspberry Pi 2 that was publically accessible via DuckDNS. Paulus was great in helping me disable several of the developer services that could have been exploited to disable the Home Assistant instance.

+ +

I added three devices to the Home Assistant instance - a Wemo Insight, Sonoff Switch (running MQTT firmware), and a DIY MQTT Digital LED strip. After adding a few 3D printed Star War decorations, the tree was ready to go!

+ +

+ + The Christmas tree in action. +

+ +

During the time by tree was set up, I had 7,366 visitors from 88 countries connect to my Home Assistant instance. This generated an estimated 100,000 clicks on the switches in my Home Assistant instance - thanks in part to some folks who posted up with macros for 6-8 hour stretches.

+ +

+ + View counts of the video. +

+ +

I’m very excited to report that Home Assistant didn’t crash a single time. In fact, it didn’t even bog down or need to be restarted. The Wemo Insight and Sonoff relays were incredibly resilient, as well. I only had one Sonoff failure and two Wemo Insight failures both of which were resolved by power cycling them. The digital LED strips also fared pretty well, hanging up only twice, aside from a loose connector.

+ +

I would like to send a big thank you to the Home Assistant developers who have worked so hard on making Home Assistant run so well. This project is a testament to your hard work on making Home Assistant one of the best home automation platforms out there. Thank you!

+ +

I’m looking forward to continuing my home automation adventures with Home Assistant and I can’t wait for next Christmas with an even bigger and badder tree. :)

+ +

Wishing everyone the best in 2017!

+ +

Cheers! -Ben

Allowing anyone to add support for their favorite devices to Home Assistant easily. This focus has been a great success since we now have 339 components and platforms!

    - -

    Starting with this release, we are extending our extensability to the frontend. Starting this release, any component can add it’s own page to the frontend. Examples of this today are the map, logbook and history. We are looking forward to all the crazy panels you’ll come up with!

    - -

    We have also seen an exciting trend of people starting to visualize their Internet of Things data using Jupyter Notebooks, which are a great way to create and share documents that contain code, visualizations, and explanatory text. In case you missed it, the blog post by @kireyeu shows an advanced usecase while our Notebooks in the Home Assistant Notebooks repository cover the basics.

    - -

    This release also includes a bunch of new integrations, among others three new media player platforms. This means that today Home Assistant can talk to 26 different media players!

    - -

    The brand-new iFrame panel component allows you to add other websites as pages in the Home Assistant frontend. They will show up in the sidebar and can be used the same way as you open the frontend in your browser but all within one view.

    - -

    I would like to do a shoutout to @fabianhjr. He has started adding typing data (PEP484) to the Home Assistant core. This will help us identify issues before they are released.

    Hello and Happy New Year!

    + +

    I am not Paulus. My name is Ben. I’m the creator of the BRUH Automation YouTube channel. If you’ve ever seen any of my videos then you’ll know I love home automation and Home Assistant.

    + +

    I wanted to share some exciting stats from one of my latest projects - Control My Christmas tree! For this project, I created a Home Assistant instance on a Raspberry Pi 2 that was publically accessible via DuckDNS. Paulus was great in helping me disable several of the developer services that could have been exploited to disable the Home Assistant instance.

    + +

    I added three devices to the Home Assistant instance - a Wemo Insight, Sonoff Switch (running MQTT firmware), and a DIY MQTT Digital LED strip. After adding a few 3D printed Star War decorations, the tree was ready to go!

    + +

    + + The Christmas tree in action. +

    + +

    During the time by tree was set up, I had 7,366 visitors from 88 countries connect to my Home Assistant instance. This generated an estimated 100,000 clicks on the switches in my Home Assistant instance - thanks in part to some folks who posted up with macros for 6-8 hour stretches.

    + +

    + + View counts of the video. +

    + +

    I’m very excited to report that Home Assistant didn’t crash a single time. In fact, it didn’t even bog down or need to be restarted. The Wemo Insight and Sonoff relays were incredibly resilient, as well. I only had one Sonoff failure and two Wemo Insight failures both of which were resolved by power cycling them. The digital LED strips also fared pretty well, hanging up only twice, aside from a loose connector.

    + +

    I would like to send a big thank you to the Home Assistant developers who have worked so hard on making Home Assistant run so well. This project is a testament to your hard work on making Home Assistant one of the best home automation platforms out there. Thank you!

    + +

    I’m looking forward to continuing my home automation adventures with Home Assistant and I can’t wait for next Christmas with an even bigger and badder tree. :)

    + +

    Wishing everyone the best in 2017!

    + +

    Cheers! -Ben

    Hello and Happy New Year!

    + +

    I am not Paulus. My name is Ben. I’m the creator of the BRUH Automation YouTube channel. If you’ve ever seen any of my videos then you’ll know I love home automation and Home Assistant.

    + +

    I wanted to share some exciting stats from one of my latest projects - Control My Christmas tree! For this project, I created a Home Assistant instance on a Raspberry Pi 2 that was publically accessible via DuckDNS. Paulus was great in helping me disable several of the developer services that could have been exploited to disable the Home Assistant instance.

    + +

    I added three devices to the Home Assistant instance - a Wemo Insight, Sonoff Switch (running MQTT firmware), and a DIY MQTT Digital LED strip. After adding a few 3D printed Star War decorations, the tree was ready to go!

    + +

    + + The Christmas tree in action. +

    + +

    During the time by tree was set up, I had 7,366 visitors from 88 countries connect to my Home Assistant instance. This generated an estimated 100,000 clicks on the switches in my Home Assistant instance - thanks in part to some folks who posted up with macros for 6-8 hour stretches.

    + +

    + + View counts of the video. +

    + +

    I’m very excited to report that Home Assistant didn’t crash a single time. In fact, it didn’t even bog down or need to be restarted. The Wemo Insight and Sonoff relays were incredibly resilient, as well. I only had one Sonoff failure and two Wemo Insight failures both of which were resolved by power cycling them. The digital LED strips also fared pretty well, hanging up only twice, aside from a loose connector.

    + +

    I would like to send a big thank you to the Home Assistant developers who have worked so hard on making Home Assistant run so well. This project is a testament to your hard work on making Home Assistant one of the best home automation platforms out there. Thank you!

    + +

    I’m looking forward to continuing my home automation adventures with Home Assistant and I can’t wait for next Christmas with an even bigger and badder tree. :)

    + +

    Wishing everyone the best in 2017!

    + +

    Cheers! -Ben

    Today we’re happy to announce our brand new Raspberry Pi image! It is based on Raspbian Lite combined with HASS so we decided to call it Hassbian.

    - -

    This image comes pre-installed with everything you need to get started with Home Assistant right away.

    To get started, check out the installation instructions in the getting started section or watch the latest video by BRUHAutomation:

    Under the hood

    - -

    It’s based on Raspbian Lite and generated with a fork of the same script that builds the official Raspbian images. For installation of HASS it follows the same install instructions as the Manual installation. Please note that this project has no association with the Raspberry Pi foundation or their projects.

    - -

    On first boot the latest release of Home Assistant will be installed and can be reached after 3~5 minutes. Pre-installed on this image is the MQTT broker Mosquitto, Bluetooth support and settings for the homeassistant account to use the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi. Mosquitto is not activated by default.

    - -

    As it is today there is no pre-compiled Z-Wave support but it can be installed by following the Getting started instructions for Z-Wave.

    Happy Automating!

    When Home Assistant started the focus has always been on making a great developer experience. Allowing anyone to add support for their favorite devices to Home Assistant easily. This focus has been a great success since we now have 339 components and platforms!

    - -

    Starting with this release, we are extending our extensability to the frontend. Starting this release, any component can add it’s own page to the frontend. Examples of this today are the map, logbook and history. We are looking forward to all the crazy panels you’ll come up with!

    - -

    We have also seen an exciting trend of people starting to visualize their Internet of Things data using Jupyter Notebooks, which are a great way to create and share documents that contain code, visualizations, and explanatory text. In case you missed it, the blog post by @kireyeu shows an advanced usecase while our Notebooks in the Home Assistant Notebooks repository cover the basics.

    - -

    This release also includes a bunch of new integrations, among others three new media player platforms. This means that today Home Assistant can talk to 26 different media players!

    - -

    The brand-new iFrame panel component allows you to add other websites as pages in the Home Assistant frontend. They will show up in the sidebar and can be used the same way as you open the frontend in your browser but all within one view.

    - -

    I would like to do a shoutout to @fabianhjr. He has started adding typing data (PEP484) to the Home Assistant core. This will help us identify issues before they are released.

    It’s time for 0.18. This release cycle is 2 days shorter than usual as I’ll be travelling to Europe. This also means that it can take some more time before you get feedback on PRs.

    - -

    Since the last release we have moved all Home Assistant source code etc into it’s own organisation on GitHub. We’re growing up! This sadly did cause us to have to move all Docker images. Check the breaking changes section for more info.

    Breaking changes

    -
      -
    • We have migrated our datetime format to be iso8601. This will only impact you if you are consuming the date times from the API directly. You can ignore this if you are just using Home Assistant via configuration and the frontend.
      • -
    • The constant TEMP_CELCIUS is now correctly called TEMP_CELSIUS. Old one is deprecated and will eventually be removed.
      • -
    • The location of the Docker image has changed. There was no possibility for us to keep maintaining the old image (as it was bound to the GitHub repo under my name) or to make a redirect. So if you are using the Home Assistant Docker image, change it to run homeassistant/home-assistant:latest for the latest release and homeassistant/home-assistant:dev for the latest dev version.
      • -
    • MySensors received two big changes that will cause you to update your configs. See component page for new example config. -
        -
      1. All MySensors entity IDs are different! There was an error in the naming that caused MySensors to append node ID and child ID instead of separating them with an underscore. This has been fixed but will cause all your MySensors entity IDs to change. This is a one time breaking change.
        2. -
      2. The second change is that we now support the TCP ethernet gateway. This is causing a slight change to the config format: you have to change port: under gateways to device:.
