Another Saturday, another release!
-
- Core updates
-
- -
-
Thanks to @pvizeli, all the core components are now written asynchronously. All entity components are now migrated from synchronously to asynchronously code!
-
- -
-
Now when you restart Home Assistant using the homeassistant.restart service, your configuration is checked. If it appears to be invalid the restart will fail.
-
-
-
- Rewritten frontend
-The frontend has been completely been rewritten, optimizing for speed and lost connection recovery. Even on the slowest phones it should fly now. The frontend also now uses the new WebSockets API instead of the EventStream API.
-
- Custom state card UI
-A nice new feature is the possibility to create custom state cards in the frontend. Go ahead and write your own state card for lights, sensors, locks, etc.
-
- MQTT discovery
-MQTT now has discovery support which is different than our discovery component. Similar to the HTTP sensor and HTTP binary sensor, MQTT discovery removes the need for configuration by allowing devices to make their presence known to Home Assistant.
-
- Alert component
-If you left your front door open, then the new alert component can be used to remind you of this by sending you repeating notifications at a given interval.
-
- Yeelight
-The yeelight component has been ported to use a more stable and feature-complete python-yeelight backend, and supports now both white and RGB bulbs. The component also supports transitions and can be configured to save the settings to the bulb on changes. The users currently using custom components for Yeelight are encouraged to move back to use the included version and report any problems with it to our issue tracker.
-
- Apple TV
-Apple TV is now a supported media_player! It has support for just about every media player function, including a realtime display of playback status and artwork.

- Breaking changes
-
- - The support for LG webOS Smart TVs was improved. This requires you to move
$HOME/.pylgtv to $HASS_CONFIG_DIR/webostv.conf or Home Assistant will need to be paired with the TV again.
- - Image processing events have been renamed:
identify_face has become image_processing.detect_face, found_plate has become image_processing.found_plate
- - The FFmpeg binary sensor change the platform name from
ffmpeg to ffmpeg_noise and ffmpeg_motion. Also all FFmpeg-related services are moved from a platform implementation to a the FFmpeg components and were rename from binary_sensor.ffmpeg_xy to ffmpeg.xy.
- - The frontend core changes have caused all custom panels to break. Docs have not been updated yet. The gist is that you have to use
this.hass.entities, this.hass.callService and this.hass.callApi.
