</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>For further details about HASSbian, take a look at the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/docs/hassbian/">documentation</a>.</p>

<h3>Hassbian 1.21 - It’s about time isn’t it</h3>
<p>Since I, the developer of HASSbian, have been moving, started a new job and so on I’ve had few moments over for HASSbian development. The 1.2 release has been in pre-release for a few months now and just not communicated out that well. Hopefully this release changes that and I’ll do my best to release more often. There’s no simple way to update from 1.1 to 1.21 but 95% of the changes can be done by installing the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/hassbian-scripts/releases/latest">hassbian-config</a> package. For more information have a look at the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/hassbian-scripts/">hassbian-config</a> page.</p>
<h3>Hassbian 1.22 - Sins of last night</h3>
<p>Development is sometimes fast and joyful but mistakes are made at times.</p>
<p>With the release of 1.21 a small problem with the OpenZWave build script wasn’t corrected even tough it was a known bug. Problem is simple as it’s only a problem with the symlink created for to the configuration folder for OpenZWave. This has been fixed and we bring some new things since they where ready anyway. The list below has been augmented with the updated information.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="hassbian-config" href="#hassbian-config"></a> Hassbian-config</h3>
<p>To allow you to customize your installation further, we have included a tool called <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian-config</code>. This tool comes with a set of packages that can easily be installed for easier customization of your Home Assistant installation. This replaces the <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian-scripts</code> functionality from 1.1.</p>
<ul>
<li>Install Hue. Configures the Python executable to allow usage of low numbered ports for use with Emulated Hue component thats used with Amazon Echo, Google Home and Mycroft.ai.</li>
<li>Install Mosquitto MQTT server. Installs the latest Mosquitto package and client tools from the Mosquitto projects official repository. Now includes websocket support.</li>
<li>Install Libcec. Adds local <a href="/components/hdmi_cec/">HDMI CEC support</a>.</li>
<li>Install Open Z-Wave-pip. Installs Python Open Z-Wave from a pip package. This is the quickest and recommended way of installing Z-Wave support but does not OZWCP pre-installed.</li>
<li>Install Open Z-Wave. Installs Python Open Z-Wave and OZWCP from git.</li>
<li>Install Samba. Allows anyone on your network to edit your configuration from any computer. This share is unsecured and it’s usage is not recommended if you share your network with others.</li>
<li>Install Tellstick. Installs the Tellstick package for controlling and using a connected Tellstick.</li>
<li>Install Tradfri. Installs dependencies for using IKEA Trådfri.</li>
</ul>
<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>Replaced the <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian-scripts</code> folder with <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian-config</code>.</li>
<li>Update <code class="highlighter-rouge">pi-gen</code>. Our build script has been upgraded to follow the Raspbian image closer once again. Now you could build this image with Docker if your so inclined.</li>
<li>Added libtool and autoconf package. Dependencies for some of the pip packages.</li>
<li>Pi ZeroW should now work with the image.</li>
</ul>

<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>
<ul>
<li>Support for <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/climate.tado/">Tado</a> climate devices (<a href="https://github.com/wmalgadey">@wmalgadey</a>)</li>
<li><a href="https://home-assistant.io//components/media_player.volumio/">Volumio</a> media player added (<a href="https://github.com/jslove">@jslove</a>)</li>
<li><a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor.workday/">Workday</a> sensor (<a href="https://github.com/BastianPoe">@BastianPoe</a>)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Breaking changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/notify.kodi/">Kodi notifier</a> platform was migrated to async and the configuration synced with the Kodi media player platform (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/6497">#6497</a>).</li>
<li>For the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.mpd/">Music Player Daemon</a> (MPD) platform was <code class="highlighter-rouge">location</code> replaced with <code class="highlighter-rouge">name</code> (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/6553">#6553</a>).</li>
<li>Event decorators were removed (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/6634">#6634</a>).</li>
<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>
<li>Autodiscovery of <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/android_ip_webcam/">Android IP Webcam</a> was removed (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/6528">#6528</a>).</li>
<li>The frontend is now using <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/shadow-dom/">Shadow DOM</a> and this could break your custom panels (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/issues/228">#228</a>).</li>
</ul>
