In this tutorial I will explain how you can activate Tasker tasks from Home Assistant command line switches. We are going to set up a switch that when toggled will make your Android device say either “On” or “Off”.</p>
<p>You could also do this with the automation component instead so whenever you put your house to sleep mode for example your Android device will open up Google Play Books or the Kindle app ready for you to read as well as dimming your lights, but this tutorial is all about the switches.</p>

<p>Its like someone opened a can of rock solid developers and emptied it above our <a href="https://gitter.im/balloob/home-assistant">chat channel</a> because it exploded with great conversations and solid contributions. Featured in release 0.7.3: Sonos, iTunes, Alarm component and Automation upgrade.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/releases/tag/0.7.3">GitHub</a> for more detailed release notes.</p>
<p><em>Migration note: the <code>scheduler</code> component has been removed in favor of the <code>automation</code> component.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sonos</strong><br />
<img src="/images/supported_brands/sonos.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> Sonos support has been added by <a href="https://github.com/rhooper">@rhooper</a> and <a href="https://github.com/SEJeff">@SEJeff</a>. Home Assistant is now able to automatically detect Sonos devices in your network and set them up for you. It will allow you to control music playing on your Sonos and change the volume.</p>
<p><strong>iTunes and airplay speakers</strong><br />
<img src="/images/supported_brands/itunes.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> <a href="https://github.com/maddox">@maddox</a> has contributed support for controlling iTunes and airplay speakers. For this to work you will have to run <a href="https://github.com/maddox/itunes-api">itunes-api</a> on your Mac as middleware.</p>
