<p>It’s time for 0.26 and it’s again full of new features and fixes. First I want to highlight that we are now having 500 000 monthly pageviews on the website. A big milestone for us! It’s been an amazing journey. Big thanks to the Home Assistant community for being such a delightful bunch.</p>
<p>This release includes code contributed by 31 different people. The biggest change in this release is a new unit system. Instead of picking Celsius or Fahrenheit you’ll have to pick imperial or metric now. This influences the units for your temperature, distance, and weight. This will simplify any platform or component that needs to know this information. Big thanks to <a href="https://github.com/Teagan42">@Teagan42</a> for her hard work on this!</p>

In the past month I was thinking about ways to integrate USB webcams into Home Assistant again. The main reason was that this would give those devices a second life and enable one to benefit from low-cost video surveillance. There are a couple of options available like <a href="http://www.pygame.org/hifi.html">pygame</a> or <a href="http://www.simplecv.org/">SimpleCV</a> but I never finished something. With the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/camera.local_file/">Local File camera platform</a> by <a href="https://github.com/Landrash">Landrash</a> and <a href="http://lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome">motion</a> you could integrate a local USB webcam with a few very easy steps.</p>
<p>In this blog post I am using a Fedora 24 (will most likely work on other distributions too) installation with Home Assistant 0.22.1 on a Foxconn nT-330i with an old <a href="http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/quickcam-sphere-af">Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF</a> and a <a href="http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/hd-webcam-c270">Logitech HD Webcam C270</a>. As a start only the Quickcam is used. No multi-camera setup for now.</p>

<p>This release is big. Until now, our automations and scripts have been very static. Starting today it should all be a bit more dynamic.</p>
<p><strong>Scripts</strong> are now available in automations and when responding to Alexa/Amazon Echo. Both of these components will now expose data to be used in script templates (including <code class="highlighter-rouge">from_state</code> !). Passing data to script entities is available by passing the data to the script services.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">automation</span><span class="pi">:</span>

<p><strong>Entity Namespaces</strong> allow you to influence the entity ids for a specific platform. For example you can turn <code class="highlighter-rouge">light.living_room</code> into <code class="highlighter-rouge">light.holiday_home_living_room</code> with the following config:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">light</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">hue</span>

<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>This release is big. Until now, our automations and scripts have been very static. Starting today it should all be a bit more dynamic.</p>
<p><strong>Scripts</strong> are now available in automations and when responding to Alexa/Amazon Echo. Both of these components will now expose data to be used in script templates (including <code class="highlighter-rouge">from_state</code> !). Passing data to script entities is available by passing the data to the script services.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">automation</span><span class="pi">:</span>

<p><strong>Entity Namespaces</strong> allow you to influence the entity ids for a specific platform. For example you can turn <code class="highlighter-rouge">light.living_room</code> into <code class="highlighter-rouge">light.holiday_home_living_room</code> with the following config:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">light</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">hue</span>

<p>Alrighty, it’s time for Home Assistant 0.10. A lot amazing things have changed and sadly we also had to introduce a bunch of backwards incompatible changes. I would like to give a big shoutout to Philip Lundrigan (<a href="https://github.com/philipbl">@philipbl</a>) who put a lot in effort in helping the migration to move towards using templates for a wide variety of platforms.</p>

<p>Alrighty, it’s time for Home Assistant 0.10. A lot amazing things have changed and sadly we also had to introduce a bunch of backwards incompatible changes. I would like to give a big shoutout to Philip Lundrigan (<a href="https://github.com/philipbl">@philipbl</a>) who put a lot in effort in helping the migration to move towards using templates for a wide variety of platforms.</p>

<p>I recently learned about the ESP8266, a $5 chip that includes WiFi and is Arduino compatible. This means that all your DIY projects can now be done for a fraction of the price.</p>
<p>For this tutorial, I’ll walk through how to get going with ESP8266, get the temperature and humidity and report it to MQTT where Home Asssistant can pick it up.</p>

Home Assistant will keep track of historical values and allow you to integrate it into automation.
