<p>Today we announce the release of Home Assistant v0.7.2 which includes brand new support by
<a href="https://github.com/sfam">@sfam</a> to integrate with <a href="https://ifttt.com">IFTTT</a>. IFTTT stands for If This, Then That and is a
webservice that integrates with almost every possible webservice out there. Adding Home
Assistant to this mix means Home Assistant can connect with all via IFTTT.</p>
<p>It is now possible to disable your irregation system if it is going to be cloudy tomorrow or tweet
if your smoke alarm goes off.</p>
<p class='img'>
<img src='/images/blog/2015-09-ifttt/splash.png'>
</p>
<p>Head over to the <a href="/components/ifttt.html">setup instructions</a> to get started with IFTTT. Click the
read more button for some example recipes.</p>
<p><img src='/images/supported_brands/glances.png' style='border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;' height='80' />
Inspried by a <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/issues/310">feature requests</a> I started looking into the available options to do monitoring of remote hosts. The feature request is about displaying system information in a similar way than the <a href="/components/sensor.systemmonitor.html">systemmonitor</a> sensor does it for the local system. After a while I started to think that it would be a nice addition for a small home network where no full-blown system monitoring setup is present.</p>
<a name="read-more"></a>
<p>In each of the following examples, make sure to replace the XXX in the url with your correct
host address and api password.</p>
<p>The basic problem is to get the data from the remote host. Starting with <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil">psutil</a> that is used by the systemmonitor sensor, a possible solution is only a click away and named <a href="https://github.com/nicolargo/glances">Glances</a>. Glances has a nice curses-based interface and a <a href="https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/wiki/The-Glances-RESTFULL-JSON-API">RESTful API</a>.</p>
<h2><a class='title-link' name='turn-off-irregation-system-when-not-needed' href='#turn-off-irregation-system-when-not-needed'></a> Turn off irregation system when not needed</h2>
<p>The <a href="/components/sensor.glances.html">Glances sensor</a> sensor uses that API to get all needed data.</p>
<p>In this post a default Fedora 22 Workstation installation is used on the host that should be monitored. In fact, it doesn&rsquo;t matter if the system is the local one or a remote one as long as Glances is available. With some adjustments it should work on your own systems too. The difference will be the package and the firewall management tools.</p>
<p>First some extra packages are needed beside Glances, especially the <a href="http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/index.html">bottle</a> webserver. I guess that Glances is available for your distribution as well. Otherwise follow those <a href="https://github.com/nicolargo/glances#installation">instructions</a>.</p>

</pre></td><td class='code'><pre><code class=''><span class='line'>sudo dnf -y install glances python-bottle</span></code></pre></td></tr></table></div></figure>
<p>On Fedora the Firewall settings are strict. Let&rsquo;s open port 61208 to allow other hosts to connect to that port. This is not needed if you just want to observe your local machine.</p>

<p>Launch <code>glances</code> and keep an eye on the output.</p>

<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><img src='https://home-assistant.io/images/supported_brands/glances.png' style='border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;' height='80' />
Inspried by a <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/issues/310">feature requests</a> I started looking into the available options to do monitoring of remote hosts. The feature request is about displaying system information in a similar way than the <a href="/components/sensor.systemmonitor.html">systemmonitor</a> sensor does it for the local system. After a while I started to think that it would be a nice addition for a small home network where no full-blown system monitoring setup is present.</p>
<!--more-->
<p>In each of the following examples, make sure to replace the XXX in the url with your correct
host address and api password.</p>
<p>The basic problem is to get the data from the remote host. Starting with <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil">psutil</a> that is used by the systemmonitor sensor, a possible solution is only a click away and named <a href="https://github.com/nicolargo/glances">Glances</a>. Glances has a nice curses-based interface and a <a href="https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/wiki/The-Glances-RESTFULL-JSON-API">RESTful API</a>.</p>
<h2><a class='title-link' name='turn-off-irregation-system-when-not-needed' href='#turn-off-irregation-system-when-not-needed'></a> Turn off irregation system when not needed </h2>
<p>The <a href="/components/sensor.glances.html">Glances sensor</a> sensor uses that API to get all needed data.</p>
<p class='img'>
<img src='https://home-assistant.io/images/blog/2015-09-ifttt/recipe-weather.png' />
</p>
<p>In this post a default Fedora 22 Workstation installation is used on the host that should be monitored. In fact, it doesn&rsquo;t matter if the system is the local one or a remote one as long as Glances is available. With some adjustments it should work on your own systems too. The difference will be the package and the firewall management tools.</p>
<p>First some extra packages are needed beside Glances, especially the <a href="http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/index.html">bottle</a> webserver. I guess that Glances is available for your distribution as well. Otherwise follow those <a href="https://github.com/nicolargo/glances#installation">instructions</a>.</p>

<p>On Fedora the Firewall settings are strict. Let&rsquo;s open port 61208 to allow other hosts to connect to that port. This is not needed if you just want to observe your local machine.</p>
<pre><code class="bash">sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=61208/tcp

<p>Launch <code>glances</code> and keep an eye on the output.</p>

<link href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2015/05/14/release-notes/"/>
<updated>2015-05-14T22:25:00-07:00</updated>
<id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2015/05/14/release-notes</id>
<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Almost three busy weeks have past since the last release. We used this time to finally make the overhaul to use UTC as the internal date time format. We added a bunch of test coverage in the process to make sure the transition went smoothly. Pleas see <a href="/blog/2015/05/09/utc-time-zone-awareness/#backwards-incompatible-stuff">the blog post about the UTC refactor</a> for backwards incompatible changes.</p>
<p>This release includes a significant startup boost for the frontend and a fix for Wemo discovery after their latest firmware upgrade.</p>
<p>I would like to give a big shout out to our newest contributor <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">fabaff</a> for taking the time to improve the documentation.</p>
<p class='note'>
To update to the latest version, run <code>scripts/update</code>. Please report any issues on <a href='https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/issues'>GitHub</a>.

<p><strong>Overwriting Entity Attributes</strong><br>
Before diving into the newly supported devices and services, I want to highlight an awesome configuration enhancement by <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus">rmkraus</a>: overwriting entity attributes.</p>
<p>These new configuration settings allow you to overwrite entity state attributes. The main usage for this is being able to overwrite attributes that influence how an entity is shown in the interface.</p>
<pre><code class="yaml"># Example configuration.yaml entry
homeassistant:
customize:
light.bowl:
# hides this entity from the interface
hidden: true
light.ceiling:
# Replaces the state badge with given picture
entity_picture: http://graph.facebook.com/schoutsen/picture
</code></pre>

sensor:
platform: openweathermap
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
monitored_variables:
- type: 'weather'
- type: 'temperature'
- type: 'wind_speed'

<p>Today we announce the release of Home Assistant v0.7.2 which includes brand new support by
<a href="https://github.com/sfam">@sfam</a> to integrate with <a href="https://ifttt.com">IFTTT</a>. IFTTT stands for If This, Then That and is a
webservice that integrates with almost every possible webservice out there. Adding Home
Assistant to this mix means Home Assistant can connect with all via IFTTT.</p>
<p>It is now possible to disable your irregation system if it is going to be cloudy tomorrow or tweet
if your smoke alarm goes off.</p>

Inspried by a <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/issues/310">feature requests</a> I started looking into the available options to do monitoring of remote hosts. The feature request is about displaying system information in a similar way than the <a href="/components/sensor.systemmonitor.html">systemmonitor</a> sensor does it for the local system. After a while I started to think that it would be a nice addition for a small home network where no full-blown system monitoring setup is present.</p>
<p>Head over to the <a href="/components/ifttt.html">setup instructions</a> to get started with IFTTT. Click the
