<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 <a href="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>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="python-scripts" href="#python-scripts"></a> Python Scripts</h2>
<p>The biggest change is a new type of script component: <a href="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 <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/python_script/">the docs</a> to see how to get started.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="updater" href="#updater"></a> Updater</h2>
<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>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">updater</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">include_used_components</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">true</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<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>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="z-wave" href="#z-wave"></a> Z-Wave</h2>
<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 <a href="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 <code class="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>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="monkey-patching-python-36" href="#monkey-patching-python-36"></a> Monkey Patching Python 3.6</h2>
<p>Some people have noticed that running Home Assistant under Python 3.6 can lead to segfaults. It seems to be related to the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/3453">earlier segfault issues</a> that we experienced when we released the asyncio-based core. We thought that those issues would have been fixed when <a href="https://bugs.python.org/issue26617">Python bug 26617</a> was resolved. Although we see less reports compared to the old bug, there are still users <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/7752">experiencing them</a> (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/7752#issuecomment-305100009">gdb stacktrace points at <code class="highlighter-rouge">PyObject_GC_Del()</code></a>).</p>
<p>Since Python 3.6, the Task and Future classes have been moved to C. This gives a nice speed boost but also prevents us from monkey patching the Task class to avoid the segfault. <a href="https://github.com/bbangert">Ben Bangert</a> managed to brew up another monkey patch to stop Python 3.6 from using the C classes, falling back to the Python versions instead. This allows us to apply the original monkey patch again.</p>
<p>Both monkey patches are now active by default starting version 0.47 to avoid our users experiencing segfaults. This comes at a cost of not being able to benefit from all optimizations that were introduced in Python 3.6.</p>
<p>To run without the monkey patch, start Home Assistant with <code class="highlighter-rouge">HASS_NO_MONKEY=1 hass</code>. We will further investigate this issue and try to fix it in a future version of Python.</p>

<p>Earlier this year I was interviewed by Tobias Macey from <a href="https://www.podcastinit.com/">Podcast.__init__</a> about Python and Home Assistant. Just realized that we never shared this on the blog, oops. Here it is, enjoy!</p>
