<p>This release brings some great new integrations. The biggest one is the <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/components/zha/">native ZigBee integration</a> by <ahref="https://github.com/rcloran">Russell Cloran</a>. This will allow Home Assistant to natively control Philips Hue lights without the need for a hub! (IKEA Tradfri lights not yet due to implementing a different profile)</p>
<p>Another great new addition is <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/components/opencv/">OpenCV</a> by <ahref="https://github.com/Teagan42">Teagan Glenn</a>. So now you’ll be able to unlock all the cool stuff from OpenCV right in Home Assistant. And if OpenCV is not your style, you can try out the new <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/components/image_processing.dlib_face_identify/">DLib integration</a> added by <ahref="https://github.com/pvizeli">Pascal Vizeli</a> in this release.</p>
<p>This release also includes a <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/components/rss_feed_template/">new component</a> to dynamically generate RSS feeds based on a template. This means that any RSS widget on your phone, tablet or computer can now be used to show Home Assistant data!</p>
<p>Welcome to another great release of Home Assistant! While some of contributors and users are gathering at PyCon US 2017, we still managed to get a great release together!</p>
<p>First thing for this release is a feature that has been requested a lot: an automation editor! It’s still experimental - and many things are still in progress - but it works! You can create new automations and edit existing ones. If you start a new config, you’re all good to go. Otherwise check <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/docs/automation/editor/">these instructions</a> to get your automations ready for editing in the UI.</p>

<p>In this release a ton of new stuff! And who doesn’t like new stuff? This release we’re passing the 700 integrations for Home Assistant. As of today <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/help/trivia/#first-commit">we’re 1369 days old</a>, which means that roughly every two days a new integration gets added!</p>
<p>The biggest change is a new type of script component: <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/components/python_script/">Python scripts</a>. This new component will allow you to write scripts to manipulate Home Assistant: call services, set states and fire events. Each Python script is made available as a service. Head over to <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/components/python_script/">the docs</a> to see how to get started.</p>
<p>The updater has received a new opt-in option to let us know which components you use. This will allow us to focus development efforts on the components that are popular.</p>
<p>And as a reminder. We will never share gathered data in a manner that can be used to identify anyone. We do plan on making aggregate data public soon. This will include total number of users and which hardware/software platform people use to run Home Assistant.</p>
<p>Z-Wave is also getting a big update in this release. The confusing entity_ids will be on their way out. There is a <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/06/15/zwave-entity-ids/">zwave blog post</a> that gives more detail, but the upgrade steps will be as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Run Home Assistant as normal and the old IDs will still be used.</li>
<li>The new entity IDs will be shown in the more-info dialog for each entity. Check to make sure none of them will have conflicts once the new names are applied.</li>
<li>Rename entities using the ui card as described in the blog post to avoid conflicts. Restart Home Assistant to observe the changes.</li>
<li>Update all places mentioning IDs (groups, automation, customization, etc.) in configuration.yaml.</li>
<li>Add <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">new_entity_ids: true</code> to your zwave config.</li>
<li>Restart Home Assistant to run with new IDs.</li>
<li>The old entity IDs will be available in the more info dialog to trace down any remaining errors.</li>
</ol>

<li>Update opencv config to match other image processors (<ahref="https://github.com/Teagan42">@Teagan42</a> - <ahref="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/7864">#7864</a>) (<ahref="https://home-assistant.io/components/image_processing.opencv/">image_processing.opencv docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
<li>LIFX: add multiple modes to pulse effect. The <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">lifx_effect_breathe</code> call has been deprecated. Use <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">lifx_effect_pulse</code> with the new <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">mode: breathe</code> attribute instead.

<li>Use standard entity_ids for zwave entities. This also introduces a small API breakage, where <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">EVENT_SCENE_ACTIVATED</code> and <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">EVENT_NODE_EVENT</code> will no longer supply an <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">object_id</code>. They will now be tied to the node entity_id.

<li>Fix attribute entities. Home Assistant will no longer filter out entities that are ‘falsey’. So you might see more entity attributes show up. (<ahref="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> - <ahref="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/8066">#8066</a>) (breaking change)</li>
