<p>It’s time for Home Assistant 0.23 and it’s full of goodies. It’s also the release that bumps us over a 1000 tests and to 94% test coverage! Also our install issues on the Raspberry Pi and Synology have been resolved.</p>
<p>This release brings support for two new ecosystems: <a href="/components/envisalink/">Envisalink</a> and <a href="/components/homematic/">Homematic</a>. We can now also control your TV via HDMI using <a href="/components/hdmi_cec/">HDMI-CEC</a> (which works on the Pi!) and another cool feature is the <a href="/components/persistent_notification/">persistent notifications</a> which allow you to add a notification to the frontend till dismissed.</p>
<p><a href="/components/wink/">Wink</a> support has been dramatically improved by migrating to the PubNub API. This allows Wink to push changes from their system to Home Assistant. This change came just in time as somehow our Wink integration was causing a lot of requests to their servers. Thanks to Wink for letting us know so we could solve it instead of blocking us.</p>
<p>On the config side, you can now <a href="/topics/secrets/">store your passwords</a> in your OS keyring or just in a standalone file. We also got a new service to reload the core config so no reboots needed anymore after changing customize settings!</p>

<p>Your hub should not be affected when your internet breaks down or the company that sold you your hub goes out of business. It should work locally so that it can continue to work even long after the vendor goes out of business or decides to kill it. Preferably, your hub should also be open so that the community can take over development after the vendor stops caring.</p>
<p>Unless you can afford losing a product here and there, be cautious when buying IoT products that depend on the cloud from companies that are not well established. The chances are high that they go bankrupt or get acquired and closed. This however is easier said than done as <a href="http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2869521">Gartner</a> predicts that by 2017, 50 percent of IoT solutions will originate in startups that are less than three years old.</p>

<p>Last Wednesday we released <a href="https://home-assistant.io/hassio/">Hass.io</a>, an operating system to take care of all the updating hassles that come with running home automation at home and so much more. This is a major milestone for Home Assistant as it is our first step to offering a fully integrated solution using a bring your own hardware approach.</p>
<p>The launch has been crazy successful. The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWPluWcYRMI&amp;feature=youtu.be">20 minute introduction video</a> by BRUHAutomation already has 12.5k views in just 4 days with no less than 150 comments.</p>
<p>Hass.io will be a great foundation for bigger and better integrated features. Stay tuned.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="adding-the-power-of-voice-to-integrations" href="#adding-the-power-of-voice-to-integrations"></a> Adding the power of voice to integrations</h3>
<p>But enough about Hass.io, let’s not forget about Home Assistant. This release has completely revamped the way how we deal with voice integrations. We turned Home Assistant into a platform to write voice apps, no matter where the processing of the voice happens. This can be done by Alexa, Google Assistant or in the Home Assistant user interface.</p>
<p>We are super excited about the new functionality and hope that it will trigger a new type of applications and systems to be built on top of Home Assistant. This release includes a shopping list to show the new functionality. As a user you can add any item to the shopping list with your voice and also ask what is on your shopping list.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">shopping_list</span><span class="pi">:</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>To make testing these applications easier, we’ve updated the conversation component. The component will now allow sentences to be configured that hook directly into the new voice functionality. Combined with the new interface it will allow for some great interactions! Check out the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/intent/">developer docs</a> for more information.</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="history-improvements" href="#history-improvements"></a> History improvements</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/OverloadUT">@OverloadUT</a> has been recently spending a lot of time on optimizing the history database queries. This release includes PR <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/8632">#8632</a>, the first in a list of improvements that he is working on. This PR greatly improves requests for single entities by using an optimized query for this use case.</p>
<p>The performance change in some of his tests shows this change to be about 300x faster (30 seconds to 0.1 seconds!) (There is no theoretical upper limit due to the issue with multi-entity queries getting worse the longer the current recorder run has been going.)</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="xiaomi-integration" href="#xiaomi-integration"></a> Xiaomi integration</h3>
<p>Yes, it has happened! After being in beta for a while, the Xiaomi support is now available to all. <a href="https://github.com/danielhiversen">@danielhiversen</a> did an amazing job and we now support sensors, switches, lights and covers.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="velbus-integration" href="#velbus-integration"></a> Velbus integration</h3>
<p>Another awesome integration is that of the Velbus home automation system which has been contributed by <a href="https://github.com/thomasdelaet">@thomasdelaet</a>. It integrates their sensors, covers, fans, lights and switches.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="manual-alarm-with-mqtt-control" href="#manual-alarm-with-mqtt-control"></a> Manual alarm with MQTT control</h3>
<p>A new version of the manual alarm component is now available with full MQTT control thanks to <a href="https://github.com/colinodell">@colinodell</a>. Using this you can build your own control panel to remotely arm/disarm the alarm. For example, using a <a href="https://www.hackster.io/colinodell/diy-alarm-control-panel-for-home-assistant-ac1813">Raspberry Pi to create an alarm</a>.</p>

<p>Last Wednesday we released <a href="https://home-assistant.io/hassio/">Hass.io</a>, an operating system to take care of all the updating hassles that come with running home automation at home and so much more. This is a major milestone for Home Assistant as it is our first step to offering a fully integrated solution using a bring your own hardware approach.</p>
<p>The launch has been crazy successful. The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWPluWcYRMI&amp;feature=youtu.be">20 minute introduction video</a> by BRUHAutomation already has 12.5k views in just 4 days with no less than 150 comments.</p>
<p>Hass.io will be a great foundation for bigger and better integrated features. Stay tuned.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="adding-the-power-of-voice-to-integrations" href="#adding-the-power-of-voice-to-integrations"></a> Adding the power of voice to integrations</h3>
<p>But enough about Hass.io, let’s not forget about Home Assistant. This release has completely revamped the way how we deal with voice integrations. We turned Home Assistant into a platform to write voice apps, no matter where the processing of the voice happens. This can be done by Alexa, Google Assistant or in the Home Assistant user interface.</p>
<p>We are super excited about the new functionality and hope that it will trigger a new type of applications and systems to be built on top of Home Assistant. This release includes a shopping list to show the new functionality. As a user you can add any item to the shopping list with your voice and also ask what is on your shopping list.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">shopping_list</span><span class="pi">:</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>To make testing these applications easier, we’ve updated the conversation component. The component will now allow sentences to be configured that hook directly into the new voice functionality. Combined with the new interface it will allow for some great interactions! Check out the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/intent/">developer docs</a> for more information.</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="history-improvements" href="#history-improvements"></a> History improvements</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/OverloadUT">@OverloadUT</a> has been recently spending a lot of time on optimizing the history database queries. This release includes PR <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/8632">#8632</a>, the first in a list of improvements that he is working on. This PR greatly improves requests for single entities by using an optimized query for this use case.</p>
<p>The performance change in some of his tests shows this change to be about 300x faster (30 seconds to 0.1 seconds!) (There is no theoretical upper limit due to the issue with multi-entity queries getting worse the longer the current recorder run has been going.)</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="xiaomi-integration" href="#xiaomi-integration"></a> Xiaomi integration</h3>
<p>Yes, it has happened! After being in beta for a while, the Xiaomi support is now available to all. <a href="https://github.com/danielhiversen">@danielhiversen</a> did an amazing job and we now support sensors, switches, lights and covers.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="velbus-integration" href="#velbus-integration"></a> Velbus integration</h3>
<p>Another awesome integration is that of the Velbus home automation system which has been contributed by <a href="https://github.com/thomasdelaet">@thomasdelaet</a>. It integrates their sensors, covers, fans, lights and switches.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="manual-alarm-with-mqtt-control" href="#manual-alarm-with-mqtt-control"></a> Manual alarm with MQTT control</h3>
<p>A new version of the manual alarm component is now available with full MQTT control thanks to <a href="https://github.com/colinodell">@colinodell</a>. Using this you can build your own control panel to remotely arm/disarm the alarm. For example, using a <a href="https://www.hackster.io/colinodell/diy-alarm-control-panel-for-home-assistant-ac1813">Raspberry Pi to create an alarm</a>.</p>

<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>ZWave entity_ids have long been a source of frustration in Home Assistant. The first problem we faced was that depending on the order of node discovery, entity_ids could be discovered with different names on each run. To solve this we added the node id as a suffix to the entity_id. This ensured that entity_ids were generated deterministically on each run, but additional suffixes had to be added to handle edge cases where there would otherwise be a conflict. The resulting entity_ids worked, but have been difficult to work with and makes ZWave a strange exception among other Home Assistant components.</p>
<p>Thanks to the awesome work of <a href="https://github.com/turbokongen">@turbokongen</a>, a growing number of ZWave configuration options are now available from the new ZWave panel in the Home Assistant frontend. Among these new features is support for renaming of ZWave nodes and their underlying values. (These renames are persisted in zwcfg_*.xml) This is important, because these items are combined to form the Home Assistant entity name, which is used to generate the entity_id. Now that these options are available, ZWave users can rename nodes and values, influencing the entity_ids that are generated by Home Assistant.</p>
<p>Now that users are able to control these names, we will be making changes to how the entity_ids are generated for ZWave entities. The ZWave entity_ids are going to switch back to using the standard entity_id generation from Home Assistant core, based on the entity names. Moving forward, if there is a conflict when generating entity_ids, a suffix will be added, and it will be the responsibility of the user to rename their nodes and values to avoid the conflict. This is the same as any other platform in Home Assistant where two devices are discovered with the same name.</p>
<p>With the release of 0.47, this feature will be opt-in. Setting <code class="highlighter-rouge">new_entity_ids: true</code> under <code class="highlighter-rouge">zwave:</code> in your configuration.yaml will enable the new generation. After 0.48 this feature will become opt-out. From 0.48 onward, unless you’ve declared <code class="highlighter-rouge">new_entity_ids: false</code> you will switch to the new entity_id generation. At an undecided point in the future, the old entity_id generation will be removed completely.</p>
<p>I’m sure all ZWave users understand that the current entity_ids aren’t easy to use. They’re annoying to type in configuration.yaml, and break if a node needs to be re-included to the network. We know that breaking changes are painful, and so we’re doing what we can to roll this change out as smoothly as possible. The end result should be a dramatic simplification of most ZWave configurations. We hope that this change will ultimately make ZWave much easier to work with, and bring ZWave configuration just a little closer to the rest of the Home Assistant platforms.</p>

</p>
<p>Saw the <a href="/blog/2017/04/30/hassbian-1.21-its-about-time/">announcement</a> yesterday for HASSbian 1.21 and got super excited?</p>
<p>Today we’ll flash the latest HASSbian to a <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/pi-zero/">Raspbery Pi Zero W</a>.
<strong>With an added bonus</strong> that besides for an USB cable for power, there’s no need for any cables!</p>
<p>What you’ll need:</p>
<ul>
<li>a Raspberry Pi Zero W (an amazing tiny computer with built-in wifi)</li>
<li>a microSD card</li>
<li>some source of USB power</li>
<li>Wifi</li>
<li>a desktop or laptop</li>
</ul>
<p>Let’s get to it!</p>
<p>First, download the HASSbian 1.21 image from <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/pi-gen/releases/tag/v1.21">here</a>.</p>
<p>Unzip it.</p>
<p>Flash it to the microSD card. If you need a flash tool, try <a href="https://etcher.io/">Etcher</a></p>
<p>When the flashing finishes, remove it and plug it back in. You should see a drive called “boot”.</p>
<p>Right in there, not in any folders, create a file called <code class="highlighter-rouge">wpa_supplicant.conf</code>.</p>
<p>The contents of the configuration file should be something like this:
(You may have to adjust for your configuration, hints <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md">here</a> )</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>network={
ssid="YOUR_WIFI_NETWORK_NAME_HERE"
psk="YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD_HERE"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Next stick your SD card into the Raspberry Pi Zero W, and plug it in.</p>
<p>After about a minute, use your SSH client to connect to HASSbian (or <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian.local</code> from a Mac), with the username <code class="highlighter-rouge">pi</code>. The default password is <code class="highlighter-rouge">raspberry</code>.</p>
<p>It’s a good idea to change the password. To do so, use the <code class="highlighter-rouge">passwd</code> command.</p>
<p>Next, type the following two commands into the SSH console:</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ sudo systemctl enable install_homeassistant.service
$ sudo systemctl start install_homeassistant.service
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Wait about 15-20 minutes and voilà you have your Home Assistant on your Raspberry Pi Zero W in 30 minutes.</p>
<p>To try it out, go to <a href="http://hassbian:8123">http://hassbian:8123</a> or <a href="http://hassbian.local:8123">http://hassbian.local:8123</a> if you’re using Mac.</p>

</p>
<p>Saw the <a href="/blog/2017/04/30/hassbian-1.21-its-about-time/">announcement</a> yesterday for HASSbian 1.21 and got super excited?</p>
<p>Today we’ll flash the latest HASSbian to a <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/pi-zero/">Raspbery Pi Zero W</a>.
<strong>With an added bonus</strong> that besides for an USB cable for power, there’s no need for any cables!</p>
<p>What you’ll need:</p>
<ul>
<li>a Raspberry Pi Zero W (an amazing tiny computer with built-in wifi)</li>
<li>a microSD card</li>
<li>some source of USB power</li>
<li>Wifi</li>
<li>a desktop or laptop</li>
</ul>
<p>Let’s get to it!</p>
<p>First, download the HASSbian 1.21 image from <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/pi-gen/releases/tag/v1.21">here</a>.</p>
<p>Unzip it.</p>
<p>Flash it to the microSD card. If you need a flash tool, try <a href="https://etcher.io/">Etcher</a></p>
<p>When the flashing finishes, remove it and plug it back in. You should see a drive called “boot”.</p>
<p>Right in there, not in any folders, create a file called <code class="highlighter-rouge">wpa_supplicant.conf</code>.</p>
<p>The contents of the configuration file should be something like this:
(You may have to adjust for your configuration, hints <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md">here</a> )</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>network={
ssid="YOUR_WIFI_NETWORK_NAME_HERE"
psk="YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD_HERE"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Next stick your SD card into the Raspberry Pi Zero W, and plug it in.</p>
<p>After about a minute, use your SSH client to connect to HASSbian (or <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian.local</code> from a Mac), with the username <code class="highlighter-rouge">pi</code>. The default password is <code class="highlighter-rouge">raspberry</code>.</p>

<p>Welcome to 0.41. There was a lot going on in the last two weeks. Not only from the code side but also from the social one of Home Assistant. <a href="https://github.com/balloob">Paulus</a> did an <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/03/23/opensourcecraft-interview-with-founder-paulus-schoutsen/">interview</a> with <a href="http://codepop.com/open-sourcecraft">OpenSourceCraft</a>, <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">Fabian</a> did a <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-assets/tree/master/german/2017-clt-workshop">workshop</a> at the <a href="https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2017/en/">Chemnitzer Linux Tage</a>, and we are now an award-winning Open source project (I will cover that in a separate blog post).</p>
<h2>Plex</h2>
<p><a href="https://github.com/JesseWebDotCom">@JesseWebDotCom</a> made massive changes to the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.plex/">Plex</a> media player platform. From better metadata support over new configuration options to improved controls and non-controllable clients.</p>
<h2>Component overview</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/">Components</a> overview is now powered by search/filtering feature. This will make it faster to get the component/platform you are looking for more quickly. Thanks again, <a href="https://github.com/bdurrer">@bdurrer</a> for this.</p>
<h2>Changelog</h2>
<p>The new format of the changelog which was introduced with 0.40 will provide a link to the related pull request. We are not covering everything in our release notes but we think that this addition will make it easier to find details about the change.</p>
<h2>New platforms/components</h2>

<li>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.emby/">Emby mediaplayer</a> platform was changed to avoid name clashes (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/6664">#6664</a>).</li>
<li>In a lot of places were the power and energy units update. This change mostly affects the <code class="highlighter-rouge">switch</code> platforms (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/6212">#6212</a>).</li>
<li>If set to <code class="highlighter-rouge">auto</code> then the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/docs/mqtt/">MQTT</a> implementation will use the bundled certificates automatically (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/6707">#6707</a>).</li>

<p>No stats, no numbers, and alike this time. Ok, just one number: 0.37. We are back on track with our bi-weekly release cycle. Beside some organizational changes is this release shipping again cool features and new integrations. Please keep an eye on the “Breaking changes” section because there are also massive improvements for some platforms and components.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="governance" href="#governance"></a> Governance</h3>
<p>As announced, the new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/01/21/home-assistant-governance/">Governance</a> requires for developers to sign the CLA. <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/code_of_conduct/">Code of Conduct</a>, <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/cla/">Contributor License Agreement</a>, and proper <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/license/">Licensing</a> will to protect all involved parties in the Home Assistant eco-system from users and community members to contributors.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="face-recognition-using-the-microsoft-face-api" href="#face-recognition-using-the-microsoft-face-api"></a> Face recognition using the Microsoft Face API</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> has been on a roll with the image processing integrations. This time it’s the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/microsoft_face/">Microsoft Face API</a>. This means that now it will be possible to train the API with the people you want to recognize and send images from your camera to the API as another source of automation.</p>
<p>Want to play a personalized tune when someone enters the house? It is now possible 😎</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="improved-camera-security" href="#improved-camera-security"></a> Improved camera security</h3>
<p>After a security audit by Stephen O’Conner, he found that our source for randomly generated access tokens for camera feeds were reasonable predictable and could be brute force attacked in 2.5 weeks. A fix has been included in this release that uses the system provided random number generator for maximum randomness and rotates the keys every 10 minutes to reduce the window in which a brute force attack can happen.</p>
<p>Although the old method is not insecure, the new method is a lot more secure. Upgrading to the latest version is encouraged.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="new-customization-options" href="#new-customization-options"></a> New customization options</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/andrey-git">@Andrey-git</a> has added some great new options to the customize functionality. It is now possible to specify customizations as a wildcard for entities or for a specific domain.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="major-wink-and-hdmi-cec-improvements" href="#major-wink-and-hdmi-cec-improvements"></a> Major Wink and HDMI CEC improvements</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/w1ll1am23">@w1ll1am23</a> did an amazing job fixing a ton of bugs and issues with the Wink integration. Biggest improvement is that it now is able to automatically refresh the authentication tokens. This means that if you have your email address and password in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file, no <code class="highlighter-rouge">client_id</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">client_secret</code> are needed, and token which was generated with the generator located in the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/wink/">Wink</a> documentation.</p>
<p>The new Wink support will cause renaming of all the binary sensors and will also create new sensors for devices that weren’t previously detected or supported in the older version.</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/konikvranik">@konikvranik</a> the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/hdmi_cec/">HDMI CEC</a> integration got a huge update with a lot of improvements. This update should make it easier to work with HDMI CEC and give you more control.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="first-coffee-maker-supported" href="#first-coffee-maker-supported"></a> First Coffee Maker supported</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/stu-gott">@stu-gott</a> has added support for the first coffee maker in Home Assistant: <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/switch.wemo/">Mr. Coffee Smart Optimal Brew</a>. Happy brewing!</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="breaking-changes" href="#breaking-changes"></a> Breaking changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>A <strong>major</strong> breaking change in the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/emulated_hue/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">emulated_hue</code></a> component means that unless you set <code class="highlighter-rouge">type: alexa</code> before starting up the newer Home Assistant version you will lose all devices that Alexa has discovered and will need to re-add them as well as create new groups.</li>
<li>The platform of the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor.iss/">ISS</a> integration was change to <code class="highlighter-rouge">binary_sensor</code>. Please check the platform documentation.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.roku/">Roku</a> media uses now a new format for the entity IDs.</li>
<li><a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/#image-processing">OpenALPR</a> is no longer a component. It’s now a platform for <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/image_processing/">Image processing</a>.</li>
<li>Due to massive improvements of the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/wink/">Wink</a> integration, the names of your binary sensors will change and new devices can show up.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/mysensors/">MySensors</a> component now requires all persistence file paths to be set if any is set by the user. This is to avoid name conflicts for the paths. If no path is set Home Assistant will set all paths for you.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.sonos/">Sonos</a> service <code class="highlighter-rouge">sonos_group_players</code> was removed. Use now <code class="highlighter-rouge">sonos_join</code> for this function.</li>
<li>TTS cache have change for the last time. Files use now also a option hash 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_LANG_PLATFORM.xxx</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">HASH_LANG_OPTIONS_PLATFORM.xxx</code>, replace <em>OPTIONS</em> with <code class="highlighter-rouge">-</code> on exiting platforms.</li>

<p>No stats, no numbers, and alike this time. Ok, just one number: 0.37. We are back on track with our bi-weekly release cycle. Beside some organizational changes is this release shipping again cool features and new integrations. Please keep an eye on the “Breaking changes” section because there are also massive improvements for some platforms and components.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="governance" href="#governance"></a> Governance</h3>
<p>As announced, the new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/01/21/home-assistant-governance/">Governance</a> requires for developers to sign the CLA. <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/code_of_conduct/">Code of Conduct</a>, <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/cla/">Contributor License Agreement</a>, and proper <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/license/">Licensing</a> will to protect all involved parties in the Home Assistant eco-system from users and community members to contributors.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="face-recognition-using-the-microsoft-face-api" href="#face-recognition-using-the-microsoft-face-api"></a> Face recognition using the Microsoft Face API</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> has been on a roll with the image processing integrations. This time it’s the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/microsoft_face/">Microsoft Face API</a>. This means that now it will be possible to train the API with the people you want to recognize and send images from your camera to the API as another source of automation.</p>
<p>Want to play a personalized tune when someone enters the house? It is now possible 😎</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="improved-camera-security" href="#improved-camera-security"></a> Improved camera security</h3>
<p>After a security audit by Stephen O’Conner, he found that our source for randomly generated access tokens for camera feeds were reasonable predictable and could be brute force attacked in 2.5 weeks. A fix has been included in this release that uses the system provided random number generator for maximum randomness and rotates the keys every 10 minutes to reduce the window in which a brute force attack can happen.</p>
<p>Although the old method is not insecure, the new method is a lot more secure. Upgrading to the latest version is encouraged.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="new-customization-options" href="#new-customization-options"></a> New customization options</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/andrey-git">@Andrey-git</a> has added some great new options to the customize functionality. It is now possible to specify customizations as a wildcard for entities or for a specific domain.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="major-wink-and-hdmi-cec-improvements" href="#major-wink-and-hdmi-cec-improvements"></a> Major Wink and HDMI CEC improvements</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/w1ll1am23">@w1ll1am23</a> did an amazing job fixing a ton of bugs and issues with the Wink integration. Biggest improvement is that it now is able to automatically refresh the authentication tokens. This means that if you have your email address and password in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file, no <code class="highlighter-rouge">client_id</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">client_secret</code> are needed, and token which was generated with the generator located in the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/wink/">Wink</a> documentation.</p>
<p>The new Wink support will cause renaming of all the binary sensors and will also create new sensors for devices that weren’t previously detected or supported in the older version.</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/konikvranik">@konikvranik</a> the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/hdmi_cec/">HDMI CEC</a> integration got a huge update with a lot of improvements. This update should make it easier to work with HDMI CEC and give you more control.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="first-coffee-maker-supported" href="#first-coffee-maker-supported"></a> First Coffee Maker supported</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/stu-gott">@stu-gott</a> has added support for the first coffee maker in Home Assistant: <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/switch.wemo/">Mr. Coffee Smart Optimal Brew</a>. Happy brewing!</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="breaking-changes" href="#breaking-changes"></a> Breaking changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>A <strong>major</strong> breaking change in the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/emulated_hue/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">emulated_hue</code></a> component means that unless you set <code class="highlighter-rouge">type: alexa</code> before starting up the newer Home Assistant version you will lose all devices that Alexa has discovered and will need to re-add them as well as create new groups.</li>
<li>The platform of the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor.iss/">ISS</a> integration was change to <code class="highlighter-rouge">binary_sensor</code>. Please check the platform documentation.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.roku/">Roku</a> media uses now a new format for the entity IDs.</li>
<li><a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/#image-processing">OpenALPR</a> is no longer a component. It’s now a platform for <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/image_processing/">Image processing</a>.</li>
<li>Due to massive improvements of the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/wink/">Wink</a> integration, the names of your binary sensors will change and new devices can show up.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/mysensors/">MySensors</a> component now requires all persistence file paths to be set if any is set by the user. This is to avoid name conflicts for the paths. If no path is set Home Assistant will set all paths for you.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.sonos/">Sonos</a> service <code class="highlighter-rouge">sonos_group_players</code> was removed. Use now <code class="highlighter-rouge">sonos_join</code> for this function.</li>
<li>TTS cache have change for the last time. Files use now also a option hash 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_LANG_PLATFORM.xxx</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">HASH_LANG_OPTIONS_PLATFORM.xxx</code>, replace <em>OPTIONS</em> with <code class="highlighter-rouge">-</code> on exiting platforms.</li>

<p>It’s time for Home Assistant 0.23 and it’s full of goodies. It’s also the release that bumps us over a 1000 tests and to 94% test coverage! Also our install issues on the Raspberry Pi and Synology have been resolved.</p>
<p>This release brings support for two new ecosystems: <a href="/components/envisalink/">Envisalink</a> and <a href="/components/homematic/">Homematic</a>. We can now also control your TV via HDMI using <a href="/components/hdmi_cec/">HDMI-CEC</a> (which works on the Pi!) and another cool feature is the <a href="/components/persistent_notification/">persistent notifications</a> which allow you to add a notification to the frontend till dismissed.</p>
<p><a href="/components/wink/">Wink</a> support has been dramatically improved by migrating to the PubNub API. This allows Wink to push changes from their system to Home Assistant. This change came just in time as somehow our Wink integration was causing a lot of requests to their servers. Thanks to Wink for letting us know so we could solve it instead of blocking us.</p>
<p>On the config side, you can now <a href="/topics/secrets/">store your passwords</a> in your OS keyring or just in a standalone file. We also got a new service to reload the core config so no reboots needed anymore after changing customize settings!</p>
