<p><a href="/components/#added_in_current_version"><img src="/images/blog/2017-03-0.40/social.png" style="border: 0;box-shadow: none;" /></a></p>
<p>It’s time for version 0.40 already! For this version, the main focus was on performance and bug fixes. Big thanks to <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> for driving this effort. Startup is now super fast. We have also continued with adding warnings for components and platforms that are slowing down Home Assistant.</p>
<p>Some people have interpreted our recent added warnings as if 0.39 introduced the issues that caused the warning. This is not the case, the platforms and components have been misbehaving for a while but now we are adding warnings so we are able to track down the culprits.</p>
<p>Before we continue talking about all the improvements in this release I want to take a moment to thank a few people from the Home Assistant community that are fundamental to the success of Home Assistant. Big thanks to <a href="https://github.com/dale3h">@dale3h</a>, <a href="https://github.com/CCOSTAN">@CCOSTAN</a>, <a href="https://github.com/skalavala">@skalavala</a>, <a href="https://github.com/rrubin0">@rrubin0</a>, <a href="https://github.com/brahmafear">@brahmafear</a>, <a href="https://github.com/bassclarinetl2">@bassclarinetl2</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/torn8o">@torn8o</a>! These are all people that hang out in our <a href="https://gitter.im/home-assistant/home-assistant">main chat channel</a> and help new users get started and help existing users when running into trouble. Home Assistant would not be there without all the effort you put in! 🙇</p>
<p>And that our community kicks ass is also shown in the numbers. We have already raised together over $700 for the <a href="https://www.eff.org">EFF</a> via the sale of <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/02/22/home-assistant-tshirts-have-arrived/">our t-shirts</a>! All of you rock! Another number worth mentioning is that this release brings us passed 600 integrations for Home Assistant. All of you rock, again!</p>
<h2>Z-Wave is now threadsafe</h2>
<p><a href="https://github.com/andrey-git">@andrey-git</a> has spend a lot of time to make Z-Wave perform better. It should no longer cause Home Assistant to run slower or raise warnings about the timer getting out of sync.</p>
<h2>Update on the MQTT Out of Memory errors in 0.39</h2>
<p>MQTT started causing “Out of Memory” errors for some people on a Raspberry Pi. We have been able to track this down to Raspberry Pis that are using an older firmware. If you are experiencing this issue, please <a href="https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update#installing">upgrade your firmware using <code class="highlighter-rouge">rpi-update</code></a>.</p>
<h2>Turn any Android phone into an IP Camera</h2>
<p>With the new support for <a href="/components/android_ip_webcam/">IP Webcam</a> added by <a href="https://github.com/robbiet480">@robbiet480</a> and <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> you are now able to re-purpose any Android phone to become a multifunctional IP webcam. Some of the cool things that you can do:</p>
<ul>
<li>Integrate the Android device camera</li>
<li>Binary sensor when motion is detected</li>
<li>Sensors to expose the device sensors, including pressure, sound, battery, light</li>
<li>Control device features like the GPS, night vision and camera flash</li>
</ul>
<p class="img">

<h2>Other Highlights</h2>
<ul>
<li>Support added for Austrian weather using Zamg weather data (<a href="https://github.com/Zac-HD">@Zac-HD</a>)</li>
<li>Ring.com video doorbell integration added (<a href="https://github.com/tchellomello">@tchellomello</a>)</li>
<li>Blink Home Security Camera support added (<a href="https://github.com/fronzbot">@fronzbot</a>)</li>
<li>AppleTV has been converted to push data to Home Assistant instead of us having to poll (<a href="https://github.com/postlund">@postlund</a>)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Breaking changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>Vera entity ids have changed. This is a one time change to migrate to a model that will prevent future conflicts.</li>
<li>The Twilio notify platforms now have to be configured via the twilio component.</li>
</ul>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">twilio</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">account_sid</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">abc"</span>
<span class="s">auth_token</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">xyz"</span>
</code></pre>

<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>Welcome to 2017 and 0.36. We are proud to announce the first release for this year. While we are still migrating parts to async but 0.36 is focusing on new features and a lot of bug fixes.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="packages" href="#packages"></a> Packages</h3>
<p><a href="https://home-assistant.io/topics/packages/">Packages</a> are providing a new way to organize different component’s configuration parts together. With packages we offer the option to include different components or parts of configuration using any of the <code class="highlighter-rouge">!include</code> directives.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="influxdb-export" href="#influxdb-export"></a> InfluxDB export</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/influxdb/">InfluxDB</a> component was causing problems in a wide variety of use cases. <a href="https://github.com/titilambert">@titilambert</a> improved our InfluxDB exporter feature. It might be that you need to run the <a href="/components/influxdb/#migration-script">migration script</a> to update your InfluxDB database.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>hass --script influxdb_migrator <span class="se">\</span>
-H IP_INFLUXDB_HOST -u INFLUXDB_USERNAME -p INFLUXDB_PASSWORD <span class="se">\</span>
-d INFLUXDB_DB_NAME
</code></pre>
</div>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="international-space-station-iss" href="#international-space-station-iss"></a> International Space Station (ISS)</h3>
<p>No, unfortunately we are not going to space. The <code class="highlighter-rouge">iss</code> sensor is tracking the position of the International Space Station and gives you some details.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="insteon-local" href="#insteon-local"></a> Insteon local</h3>
<p>The support for Insteon was removed due to issues a while ago. With the <code class="highlighter-rouge">insteon_local</code> component support for <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/insteon_local/">Insteon</a> is back and let one work locally with an Insteon setup.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="image-processing" href="#image-processing"></a> Image processing</h3>
<p>The new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/image_processing/">image processing component</a> currently works with <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/openalpr/">number plates</a>. But this could level the way to integrate feature like facial recognition, motion detection, or gestures control.</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="breaking-changes" href="#breaking-changes"></a> Breaking changes</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/notify.apns/">APNS</a> service was moved to the <code class="highlighter-rouge">notify</code> domain. Use <code class="highlighter-rouge">notify.apns_NOTIFIER_NAME</code> instead of <code class="highlighter-rouge">apns.NOTIFIER_NAME</code>.</li>
<li><a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/influxdb/">InfluxDB</a> component has a new <a href="/components/influxdb/#data-migration">schema</a> to store values in the InfluxDB database. You may require to run the <a href="/components/influxdb/#migration-script"><code class="highlighter-rouge">influxdb_migrator</code></a> script.
You have to note:
<ul>
<li>There will not be any tags/fields named time anymore.</li>
<li>All numeric fields (int/float/bool) will be stored as float inside influx db.</li>
<li>All string fields corresponding to state attributes will be renamed as FIELDNAME_str, where FIELDNAME is the state attribute, to avoid type conflicts.</li>
<li>All string fields corresponding to a state will be renamed as state (former value).</li>
<li>Fields named value will always be stored as float.</li>
<li>Fields named state will always be stored as string.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>TTS cache files use now the language abbreviation as part of the name. If you want to use the cache, it need to be renamed or cleared, new created. E. g. <code class="highlighter-rouge">HASH_PLATFORM.xxx</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">HASH_LANG_PLATFORM.xxx</code>.</li>
