If you want to migrate your existing configuration to be used as the default configuration:

Overwriting Entity Attributes
-Before diving into the newly supported devices and services, I want to highlight an awesome configuration enhancement by rmkraus: overwriting entity attributes.
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.
- -# 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
-
-
-MySensors
-
-Andythigpen and Theolind have added support for the MySensors platform to Home Assistant.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
-sensor:
- platform: mysensors
- port: /dev/ttyACM0
-
-
-OpenWeatherMap
-
-Fabaff has contributed support for OpenWeatherMap. This will allow you to integrate local meteorological data into Home Assistant.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
-sensor:
- platform: openweathermap
- api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
- monitored_variables:
- - type: 'weather'
- - type: 'temperature'
- - type: 'wind_speed'
- - type: 'humidity'
- - type: 'pressure'
- - type: 'clouds'
- - type: 'rain'
- - type: 'snow'
-
-
-InstaPush
-
-Fabaff has contributed support for InstaPush. This will allow you send messages from Home Assistant to your iOS and Android devices.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
-notify:
- platform: instapush
- # Get those by creating a new application, event, and tracker on https://instapush.im
- api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
- app_secret: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
- event: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
- tracker: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
-
-
-XMPP
-
-Fabaff has contributed support for Jabber/XMPP. This will allow you send messages from Home Assistant to anyone on Jabber/XMPP.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
-notify:
- platform: xmpp
- sender: YOUR_JID
- password: YOUR_JABBER_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD
- recipient: YOUR_RECIPIENT
-
-
-Notify My Android
-
-Fabaff has contributed support for Notify My Android. This will allow you to send messages from Home Assistant to your Android device.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
-notify:
- platform: nma
- # Get this by registering a new application on http://www.notifymyandroid.com/
- api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
-
-
-Time & Date sensor
-Fabaff has contributed a time & date sensor. This will allow you to show the current time/date on the dashboard.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
