<p>It’s time for the August release and there is some serious good stuff this time. The core of Home Assistant has gone some serious clean up and a bump in test coverage thanks to <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>. If you’re a developer, make sure you read up on <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/251">the deprecation notices</a>. <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> did another great round of documentating all the various components.</p>

<p><strong>MQTT Support</strong><br />
|
||||
<img src="/images/supported_brands/mqtt.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> The big new addition in this release is the support for the MQTT protocol by <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> with some help from <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>. It will now be possible to integrate any IoT device that talks via MQTT. For the initial release we support connecting Home Assistant to a broker (no TLS yet). Components can now subscribe and publish to MQTT topics (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/config/custom_components/mqtt_example.py">see the example</a>) and also support for the automation component <a href="/components/automation/#mqtt-based-automation">has been added</a>. For more information, see <a href="/components/mqtt/">the MQTT component page</a>.</p>

Status of the dryer and washer in Home Assistant
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Next I wrote <a href="/components/script/">scripts</a> that are run whenever the washer or dryer completes a load. This is triggered by the <a href="/components/automation/">automation component</a>. When the laundry is complete I have the lights in the house turn red and <a href="/components/notify.pushbullet/">notify me via PushBullet</a>. Once the laundry is taken care of another script runs that sets the lights back to normal. So far it has been very helpful and very reliable.</p>

<p>As part of this release we did some cleanup which introduced backwards incompatible changes:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Heat Control thermostat no longer includes scheduling features.</strong><br />
|
||||
This feature has been removed completely. Use the <a href="/components/automation/">automation component</a> instead to control target temperature.</p>

||||
<p><strong>Config changed for calling a service from a script.</strong><br />
|
||||
<code>execute_service:</code> has been replaced with <code>service:</code>. See <a href="/components/script/">component page</a> for example. The old method will continue working for some time.</p>

<p>Thanks to Python, users are running Home Assistant on the most popular Linux distributions and other operating systems including OS X and Microsoft Windows. One quarter of the operating systems are unknown which leads to the assumption that it is possible to run Home Assistant on most of the available operation systems today. We hope that *BSD users have fun too. The Hardware platform of choice seems to be x86_64 and ARM.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Of course most users are running with the <a href="/components/automation/">automation</a> component otherwise it would make much sense to use Home Assistant. The <a href="/components/sun/">sun</a> component is used a lot too. We hope that this is not because this component is enabled by default.</p>

<p>The <a href="/components/alarm_control_panel/">Alarm control panels</a> and the <a href="/components/camera/">camera component</a> are both used by around one third of the participants of the survey. It’s safe to say that they cover a niche, but they will gain momentum when people discover how they can build alarm systems with Home Assistant.</p>
