<p>Today we’re happy to announce our brand new Raspberry Pi image! It is based on Raspbian Lite combined with HASS so we decided to call it Hassbian.</p>
<p>This image comes pre-installed with everything you need to get started with Home Assistant right away.</p>
<p>To get started, check out the installation instructions in <a href="/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi-image/">the getting started section</a> or watch the latest video by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLecVrux63S6aYiErxdiy4w">BRUHAutomation</a>:</p>
<div class="videoWrapper">
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iIz6XqDwHEk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
</div>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="under-the-hood" href="#under-the-hood"></a> Under the hood</h3>
<p>It’s based on Raspbian Lite and generated with a fork of the same <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/pi-gen">script</a> that builds the <a href="https://raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/">official Raspbian images</a>. For installation of HASS it follows the same install instructions as the <a href="/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi/">Manual installation</a>. Please note that this project has no association with the Raspberry Pi foundation or their projects.</p>
<p>On first boot the latest release of Home Assistant will be installed and can be reached after 3~5 minutes. Pre-installed on this image is the MQTT broker <a href="https://mosquitto.org/">Mosquitto</a>, Bluetooth support and settings for the <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant</code> account to use the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi. Mosquitto is not activated by default.</p>
<p>As it is today there is no pre-compiled Z-Wave support but it can be installed by following the <a href="/getting-started/z-wave/">Getting started instructions for Z-Wave</a>.</p>
<p>Happy Automating!</p>

<p>Home Assistant will join this year for <a href="https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/">Hacktoberfest</a>, an event organised by DigitalOcean and GitHub to support and celebrate open source. The idea is that open source projects like Home Assistant will gather a bunch of entry-level bugs, features and documentation enhancements and that you, a current or future contributor, will fix them. If you submit four pull-requests during the month of October you will have earned yourself a limited edition Hacktoberfest T-shirt!</p>
<p>Why contribute to Home Assistant:</p>
<ul>
<li>Written in Python3 with 94% test coverage</li>
<li>Active and helpful community</li>
<li>Friendly to new contributors</li>
</ul>

<p>Yes, after only nine days comes 0.30. Don’t worry, we will try to keep our usual release cycle and not start to release every day.</p>
<p>We guess that you already know: The <a href="/blog/2016/10/01/we-have-raspberry-image-now/">Raspberry Pi image</a> is available now. For Hassbian, <a href="https://github.com/Landrash">@Landrash</a> has combined the most essential parts for a Home Assistant setup in an easy-to-use image for the Raspberry Pi device family. Hassbian is quite young, thus we are looking forward to recieve <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/c/installation/hassbian">feedback</a>, <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/c/installation/hassbian">issue report</a>, and <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/c/installation/hassbian">suggestions</a> to improve it.</p>
<p>A large amount of resources of the development are still focusing on the effort to move Home Assistant further to asynchronous programming. It’s a labor-intensive task, comes with segmentation faults, and unstable instances when certain combinations of sensors are used. The benefit will be more speed in the near future.</p>
<p>To reduce the run-time of your tests, <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a> did a lot of tweaking. For now the RFXtrx tests are excluded which cut the needed time for running on your Pull Request in half.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="documentation" href="#documentation"></a> Documentation</h3>
<p>All configuration sample entries are now minimized. This should help to avoid problem for starters and newbies as they only get what’s needed and not a full sample with all optional entries. If there is an issue with an entry in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file the error message will provide you an URL that point to the documentation.</p>

</p>
<p>As soon as the <a href="/blog/2016/10/02/hacktoberfest/">Hacktoberfest</a> started there were a lot of incoming Pull Requests for the documentation. A huge “Thank you” to all participants. Especially, we would like to give a cookie to <a href="https://github.com/hillaryfraley">@hillaryfraley</a>. She created around a dozen Pull Requests so far and didn’t only fix typos but complete sections. The <a href="/blog/2016/10/02/hacktoberfest/">Hacktoberfest</a> is still on-going and we are looking forward to get more Pull Requests.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="statistics" href="#statistics"></a> Statistics</h3>
<p>With the <a href="/components/sensor.statistics/">statistics sensor</a> we would like to introduce a new sensor that is similar to the <a href="/components/sensor.template/">template sensor</a> or the <a href="/components/binary_sensor.trend/">trend sensor</a>. This sensor is consuming values from another sensor and is doing some statistical analysis of the data. Over a group of samples is the average/mean, the min/max, the total, the standard deviation, and the variance calculated which can be used in your automation rules. If the source is a binary sensor then the state changes are counted.</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/screenshots/stats-sensor.png" />
</p>
<p>As the results are processed on-the-fly you still need to use the data from your database for a in-depth analysis of your stored information. Check the latest <a href="http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/home-assistant/home-assistant-notebooks/blob/master/database-statistics.ipynb">notebook</a> for doing statistics with your Home Assistant database.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="rest-we-dont" href="#rest-we-dont"></a> REST! We don’t…</h3>
<p>There was a lot of work done on our implementation which are working with RESTful APIs. <a href="https://github.com/w1ll1am23">@w1ll1am23</a> extended the <a href="https://arest.io/">aREST</a> platforms to display if an aREST unit is available or not. The aREST implementations are now covered by the configuration check as well. Please check the Breaking changes section for more details.</p>
<p>The <a href="/components/sensor.rest/">REST sensor</a> supports now HTTP authentication (basic and digest) and custom headers. This will allow you to access resources which are protected. This sample sensor will access GitHub and retrieve the latest release number while by-passing the rate limit for non-authenticated requests.</p>

<p>Hello again friend,</p>
<p>How are you? Having a good day? We sure are. If you aren’t having a good day, this might cheer you up…</p>
<p>Every other weekend around here gets a little hectic leading to a big sigh of relief as we release a new version of Home Assistant to the world. And this time is no different. Our developer community has once again built us a beautiful new release with lots of new features and improvements. We hope you like it.</p>
<p>One last thing before we get going though, I should warn you… <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a> got a bit lazy this week and let me (<a href="https://github.com/robbiet480">@robbiet480</a>) step up to the plate again to write the blog post and do the release. I guess I didn’t do such a bad job in <a href="/blog/2016/08/28/notifications-hue-fake-unification/">0.27</a>. You’ll never know what surprises I have in store. Now that i’ve got all that stuff out of the way, let’s get started…</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="stats-update" href="#stats-update"></a> Stats Update</h2>
<p>Sadly, no big amazing stats to update you with this time, but we did recently pass 7,000 commits! This release featured submissions from 45 contributors. Hopefully with the new updater component we will be able to give you some really good stats in the 0.32 blog post.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="hacktoberfest" href="#hacktoberfest"></a> Hacktoberfest</h2>
<p><img src="/images/blog/2016-10-hacktoberfest/hacktoberfest.png" alt="Hacktoberfest logo" /></p>
<p>October means Hacktoberfest time and our community has really come through with some excellent improvements and additions. As of this writing, we have 194 merged and 41 open pull requests to the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/labels/Hacktoberfest">home-assistant repository</a> and 209 merged/28 open pull requests submitted to the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.github.io/labels/Hacktoberfest">home-assistant.github.io repository</a>. If you want to get in on the fun check out our <a href="/blog/2016/10/02/hacktoberfest/">Hacktoberfest</a> blog post or the <a href="https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/">Hacktoberfest website</a>. You get an awesome t-shirt for free if you have 4 pull requests merged in the month of October! We even have tasks that a non-developer can easily accomplish with a tiny bit of work. Better hurry up though, only 9 days left and most of the easy tasks are gone!</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="-a-greatly-improved-updater-component-please-read-this-" href="#-a-greatly-improved-updater-component-please-read-this-"></a> ⚠️ A greatly improved updater component (Please read this!) ⚠️</h2>
<p>This release includes an update to our <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/updater/">updater</a> component. The responsibility of the updater component is to check if a new version is available and notify the user if this is the case.</p>
<p>It used to be that this component would check with <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi">PyPi</a> (the Python package manager) to see if a new update was available. This had a couple of problems:</p>
<ol>
<li>We are unable to do a slow rollout</li>
<li>We are unable to show the user extra information (like a link to a changelog or the release date)</li>
<li>We are unable to warn users for critical security updates</li>
</ol>
<p>So to work around these problems, we decided to start hosting the version check service ourselves. Since we had to get some infrastructure spun up anyway, we figured we would take it a step further. Which leads me to this bit of the update (the most important part):</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="what-you-need-to-know-the-important-bit" href="#what-you-need-to-know-the-important-bit"></a> What you need to know (the important bit!)</h3>
<p>Remember how I mentioned that up there in the title that there is some serious business in this release? Well, we also added some basic analytics to the updater component which get sent to the server and stored so that we get a better idea of our user base.</p>
<p>Each Home Assistant instance running the updater component will generate a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier">unique ID</a> (based on UUIDv4) that will be used for the updater to be able to differentiate between instances. This UUID will be stored in your config directory in a file called <code class="highlighter-rouge">.uuid</code>.</p>
<h4>Opting out</h4>
<p>There are two ways to opt-out. The first way is by using the new <code class="highlighter-rouge">opt_out</code> option for the updater. This way the updater will continue to check for updates, but no information about your system will be shared with us.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">updater</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">reporting</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">no</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>You can also disable the updater component entirely by removing <code class="highlighter-rouge">updater:</code> from your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> although <strong>we would not suggest you do this</strong> as you would miss any critical updates.</p>
<p>Finally, you can also reset your unique identifier by deleting the <code class="highlighter-rouge">.uuid</code> file and restarting Home Assistant.</p>
<h4>Data stored on the Home Assistant update server</h4>
<p>Here is what my production Home Assistant instance looks like from the server side:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
@ -229,16 +175,12 @@
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>In addition to the above collected data, the server will also use your IP address to do a geographic IP address lookup to determine the city that you are from. To be extremely, extremely clear about this bit: <strong>The Home Assistant updater does not: store your IP address in a database and also does not submit the location information from your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>.</strong></p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/blog/2016-10-flash-briefing-updater-hacktoberfest/map.png" />
Geo-lookup on my IP resolves to Oakland with latitude/longitude pointing at the geographical center of the city.
</p>
<p>The server also adds two timestamps to the data: the original date your instance UUID was first seen and the timestamp of the last time we have seen your instance. This gives us the following extra data:</p>

<p>This data is held in the highest security. The update system runs in a secured Amazon Web Services account owned by me (<a href="https://github.com/robbiet480">@robbiet480</a>). I personally have 5 years of experience with complex AWS deployments and have an extensive security background. I have audited the entire system and made sure to take every step to protect the data, including limiting who has access (just <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a> and myself). While not directly personally identifiable we absolutely understand some users hesistance to giving this information out. Please understand that we are only collecting this information to better understand our user base to provide better long term support and feature development then is currently possible.</p>
<p>We currently have no plans to publicly expose any of this information. If we did do such a thing in the future we would of course notify you in advance. It must also be stated that we will never sell or allow the use of this information for non-Home Assistant purposes.</p>
<p>We thank you for understanding why we are collecting this data and hope that you leave the feature enabled but fully understand if you feel uncomfortable with this.</p>
<p><em>This section was updated on October 24 to be more clear about geo-lookups being on the city level. <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.github.io/blob/c937242d154e509d2d84d10c51f654e20556fa21/source/_posts/2016-10-22-flash-briefing-updater-hacktoberfest.markdown">See original version.</a></em></p>
<p>Now, back to the fun stuff…</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="good-evening-im-ron-burgundy-and-heres-what-happening-in-your-world-tonight" href="#good-evening-im-ron-burgundy-and-heres-what-happening-in-your-world-tonight"></a> Good evening. I’m Ron Burgundy and here’s what happening in your world tonight.</h2>
<p>Home Assistant got a crazy idea recently that it couldn’t do enough already and wanted to challenge itself even more. I really don’t understand how it came up with this kooky idea, but it now thinks that its newest hobby should be a minor career in journalism.</p>
<p>0.31 adds support for the brand spanking new <a href="https://developer.amazon.com/alexa-skills-kit/flash-briefing">Alexa Flash Briefing API</a>, allowing you to get updates from Home Assistant anytime you ask Alexa to read your flash briefing. What’s the use case you ask? Well, now when I wake up in the morning and get my flash briefing, Home Assistant adds this to the end of it for me:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Drive time with traffic is 35 minutes. There is an UberPOOL that will cost $11.52, estimated to be 2 minutes away, for a total of 37 minutes. BART is currently estimated to take 29 minutes. You should take BART, as it is estimated to be faster by 8 minutes.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now I know how to best get to <a href="http://runway.is">my real job</a> (no, Home Assistant is <em>not</em> my real job, it does seem like it sometimes though) every morning. Obviously not the best home automation example, but I think you get the idea. I could see this being used to tell you any major events that happened in your home overnight or reading you your hyperlocal weather report. Thanks to the audio support you could even replace all of the default Alexa Flash Briefing sources with your own news feeds. Home Assistant supports both text and audio content as well as displaying data in the Alexa app. I also want to point out that unlike the existing Skill integration, the Flash Briefing API does <em>not</em> require HTTPS (<em>but you should still be using HTTPS if possible</em>). For more information, check out the new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/alexa/">docs</a>.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="major-breaking-z-wave-changes-ahead" href="#major-breaking-z-wave-changes-ahead"></a> Major breaking Z-Wave changes ahead</h2>
<p>A rather nasty Z-Wave <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/3759">issue</a> was discovered recently by <a href="https://github.com/lukas-hetzenecker">@lukas-hetzenecker</a>. There was a somewhat large chance that if you had multiple of the same model Z-Wave device they may both try to use the same entity IDs. To fix the issue the internal Z-Wave index is now appended to the end of all Z-Wave entity IDs.</p>
<p>What this means for all you Z-Wave users is that you will need to update your configurations to reflect the change. I personally have quite a few (17) Z-Wave devices and went through the process this week. Here’s what I had to do:</p>
<ul>
<li>Update customizations</li>
<li>Update groups</li>

<li>Update my Alexa skills that used old entity IDs</li>
<li>Because I use <code class="highlighter-rouge">emulated_hue</code> with Alexa and <code class="highlighter-rouge">emulated_hue</code> uses the entity ID as a unique identifier I also had to remove all Z-Wave devices from Alexa and re-add them.</li>
</ul>
<p>Your todo list may be a little different from mine, I just wanted to outline the steps I took to give you an idea of what you need to think about. It’s not a very hard process, especially when using global find and replace in Sublime Text but did take me about 20 minutes to complete.</p>
<p>This is super annoying, I know, especially since we had said in <a href="/blog/2016/01/30/insteon-lifx-twitter-and-zigbee/#backwards-incompatible-changes">0.12</a> that Z-Wave IDs should hopefully never change again, but we are now forced to eat those words. I will state again that Z-Wave IDs shouldn’t change in the future but obviously we see how that went. To sum up on this section… sorry but it had to happen.</p>

<p>On Saturday, we released <a href="/blog/2016/10/22/flash-briefing-updater-hacktoberfest/#comment-2965607849">Home Assistant 0.31</a> which includes an improved updater component that checks for new versions using the Home Assistant servers. We wanted to update the community on its rollout and answer some questions that have come up. As part of the update check anonymous information about your operating system and Python version is submitted to Home Assistant servers unless you have opted out.</p>
<a name="read-more"></a>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="why-we-changed-the-updater" href="#why-we-changed-the-updater"></a> Why we changed the updater</h2>
<p>This change was driven by two important factors.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="improving-the-security-of-the-users" href="#improving-the-security-of-the-users"></a> Improving the security of the users.</h3>
<p>As a user, you will be able to be notified if you are running a Home Assistant version that includes components that have known security flaws.</p>
<p>Although we hope to not have to use this feature often, it is important for us to be able to reach out to impacted users. We had the need for such a feature once in the past. Due to a bug the forecast.io sensor was making a huge amount of API requests causing some of our users to get charged because they went over the free quota.</p>
<p>Please note that this functionality is not done yet but will be available in a future release.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="focusing-our-resources-where-it-matters" href="#focusing-our-resources-where-it-matters"></a> Focusing our resources where it matters</h3>
<p>As developers of Home Assistant, we will be able to see in what kind of environments Home Assistant is running. Here’s a few data points we didn’t have until now:</p>
<ul>
<li>Total number of instances</li>
<li>Which operating systems versions and flavors are in use</li>
@ -134,39 +95,25 @@
<li>What option is more popular: Docker, Virtualenv or bare metal installs?</li>
<li>How popular is our new <a href="/blog/2016/10/01/we-have-raspberry-image-now/">Raspberry Pi image</a>?</li>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="why-we-look-up-your-ip-address-with-geoip" href="#why-we-look-up-your-ip-address-with-geoip"></a> Why we look up your IP address with GeoIP</h2>
<p>We store the city so that we can see where our users are from. This information will be used to give us a better insight in where our users are from. This will help us gather data to see if we should for example prioritize internationalization. In addition, we previously had a nasty bug with the <code class="highlighter-rouge">sun</code> component in which users above a certain latitude were having crashes multiple times a day. Had the updater component been in place we could have targeted a special priority update notification only to them.</p>
<p>As stated in the release blog post, the location information is <em>not</em> provided by your local Home Assistant installation but is instead gathered by comparing your IP address against the <a href="https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/">GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind</a>. From their documentation:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>IP geolocation is inherently imprecise. Locations are often near the center of the population. Any location provided by a GeoIP database should not be used to identify a particular address or household.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="why-is-it-enabled-by-default" href="#why-is-it-enabled-by-default"></a> Why is it enabled by default</h2>
<p>We decided to have it enabled by default because we consider the information that is gathered not harmful. We understand that not everyone will agree with us and so we have provided <a href="/components/updater/">multiple ways to opt out</a>.</p>
<p>It is in our short-term planning to add an option to control this to our frontend.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="source-code" href="#source-code"></a> Source Code</h2>
<p>The source code of our updater AWS Lambda function is now available <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/Analytics-Receiver">here</a>.</p>
