0.34: New Remote component, Websockets, Sonarr, GPSLogger
+ + + + + +Here we go…0.34. Let’s call it the “Santa Claus” release. Rodolfo was faster than expected and there are a lot of goodies on the sled. Of course, more work on async programming done by @pvizeli and @balloob, a new components, new platforms, major improvements, and much more.
+ +GPSLogger
+ +The work of @dainok let you use your Android device, with the Geolocation feature enabled, to track itself using the GPS sensor or WiFi networks with GPSLogger app. GPSLogger can use multiple source: the passive one just get the latest Android known location, without activating GPS sensors or scanning for WiFi networks.
+ +Remote component
+ +The brand new remote
component made by @iandday will simplyfy the integration of all kind remote control units. The first platform for Harmony is included in this release.
HomeMatic
+ +The HomeMatic component has received some updates worth mentioning:
+ +-
+
- Additional services
+
-
+
reconnect
: Reconnect to your CCU/Homegear without restarting Home Assistant.
+ set_dev_value
: Manually control a device, even if it’s not supported by Home Assistant yet.
+
+ - Support for multiple HomeMatic hosts +
- Support for HomeMatic Wired (most devices) and HomeMatic IP (a few devices) +
- Various improvements and fixes, especially for HM-Sec-Key (KeyMatic) +
The support for multiple hosts is a result of allowing mixed configurations with wireless, wired, and IP devices. This has the drawback of making the update a breaking change (along with the renamed set_value
service). However, the benefits and possibilities gained will be worth it.
Websocket API
+ +This release includes a new websockets based API by @balloob to power the next generation of Home Assistant frontends. The current frontend has been partly migrated to use it and will be further migrated in the future.
