<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>

In the past month I was thinking about ways to integrate USB webcams into Home Assistant again. The main reason was that this would give those devices a second life and enable one to benefit from low-cost video surveillance. There are a couple of options available like <a href="http://www.pygame.org/hifi.html">pygame</a> or <a href="http://www.simplecv.org/">SimpleCV</a> but I never finished something. With the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/camera.local_file/">Local File camera platform</a> by <a href="https://github.com/Landrash">Landrash</a> and <a href="http://lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome">motion</a> you could integrate a local USB webcam with a few very easy steps.</p>
<p>In this blog post I am using a Fedora 24 (will most likely work on other distributions too) installation with Home Assistant 0.22.1 on a Foxconn nT-330i with an old <a href="http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/quickcam-sphere-af">Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF</a> and a <a href="http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/hd-webcam-c270">Logitech HD Webcam C270</a>. As a start only the Quickcam is used. No multi-camera setup for now.</p>

<p>This release is big. Until now, our automations and scripts have been very static. Starting today it should all be a bit more dynamic.</p>
<p><strong>Scripts</strong> are now available in automations and when responding to Alexa/Amazon Echo. Both of these components will now expose data to be used in script templates (including <code class="highlighter-rouge">from_state</code> !). Passing data to script entities is available by passing the data to the script services.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">automation</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">trigger</span><span class="pi">:</span>

<span class="s">action</span><span class="pi">:</span>

<p><strong>Entity Namespaces</strong> allow you to influence the entity ids for a specific platform. For example you can turn <code class="highlighter-rouge">light.living_room</code> into <code class="highlighter-rouge">light.holiday_home_living_room</code> with the following config:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">light</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">hue</span>
