<p>At the beginning of April I gave a talk about Home Assistant at the OpenIoT summit in San Diego. I talk about the Home Assistant architecture and explain how to get started integrating your devices. Big thanks to my employer AppFolio (<a href="http://www.appfolioinc.com/jobs-openings">we’re hiring!</a>) for letting me attend. <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1P2WsmwGSSni4gAriY5IA0-m-FUGO1kno3gIkRYz20Kw/edit#slide=id.p">Slides.</a></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>
<span class="s">trigger</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">mqtt</span>
<span class="s">topic</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">some/notify/topic</span>
<span class="s">action</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">service</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">notify.notify</span>
<span class="s">data_template</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">message</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">automation 2</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">trigger</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">state</span>
<span class="s">entity_id</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">light.hue</span>
<span class="s">action</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">service</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">notify.notify</span>
<span class="s">data_template</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">message</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">is now</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<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>
<span class="s">entity_namespace</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">holiday_home</span>

<p>I’ve been planning to write this post for a while now as we get questions like this a lot: <em>“Why does Home Assistant use Polymer? Why not React, Redux and what not?”</em></p>
<p>It’s understandable, Polymer is quite the underdog in the world of web frameworks. A corporate backer does not guarantee popularity or an active community and this shows in the number of projects using Polymer.</p>
<p>Still, <a href="https://home-assistant.io/demo">we use Polymer and it’s awesome</a>. To explain why, I’ll be referencing the React workflow quite a bit, as they do a lot of things right, and show how it is done in Polymer.</p>
<p>Polymer gives us components for the web, just like React, but based on web standards: <a href="https://www.w3.org/standards/techs/components#w3c_all">web components</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-variables/">CSS variables</a>. These standards don’t have wide browser support yet but it’s being implemented by every major browser: It’s the future. For now they are being polyfilled and that works just fine but in the future the Home Assistant web app will be able to run native in the browsers == fast.</p>
<a name="read-more"></a>
<p>Polymer does not have the nice developer experience that one can have with React and the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi?hl=en">React Dev Tools</a> but that’s a matter of time. The developer tools in every browser have seen a lot of improvements recently and each improvement helps support for web components.</p>
<p>Another major benefit of Polymer for Home Assistant is that we get <a href="https://elements.polymer-project.org/browse?package=paper-elements">material design for free</a>. The material design components that come with Polymer have a very high quality. Google is using these components themselves and make sure that performance and accessibility using screen readers/keyboards are great. As an open source project, the more we can outsource, the better - so our contributors can focus on the core product: home automation.</p>
<p>What about Flux, data management and interaction between components? It’s actually pretty similar to React or any other component based framework. Flux-like architectures work with Polymer just like with React: whenever data changes it will update the attributes of a component which will propagate to the children. For Home Assistant we use <a href="https://optimizely.github.io/nuclear-js/">NuclearJS</a> with our <a href="http://paulusschoutsen.nl/blog/2015/07/using-polymer-with-flux-and-a-global-app-state/">own Polymer bindings</a>. For data moving from child to parent the Polymer pattern is using DOM events instead of callbacks but the end result is the same. It is so similar in fact, that it took me only two hours to make a <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant-react-native-ios">React Native frontend for on top of our core</a>.</p>
<p>So what about Babel and ES2015? Also this is covered. Each web component exists of a HTML template and a JavaScript class to back it. Think of the HTML template as the render method in React. In Home Assistant we have the HTML templates import one another and have a separate chain for the JavaScript classes backing each component. This allows us to use Babel and NPM modules for the JavaScript part (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer#building-the-app">more info here</a>). This does however come with the downside of other JS based frameworks: the browser blocks any painting while the JavaScript is being parsed instead of upgrading the website incrementally. This, however, is something we take for granted right now and hope that module bundlers will be able to solve this for us eventually. Tree shaking is a very promising improvement in this space.</p>
<p>Most of this blog post has been comparing Polymer to React. In many ways Polymer is similar to React but it is not as far evolved yet. I like React but I do not see it as a technology that will be around forever. Given the trend of previous popular JS frameworks, React will probably get replaced by another framework that works even better. Web components however will be here forever as they are part of the HTML standard.

<p>We are always hard at work at the virtual Home Assistant headquarters to make it easier for you to get started with Home Assistant. That’s why <a href="https://github.com/jbags81">@jbags81</a> recently introduced the <a href="/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi-all-in-one/">all-in-one installer</a>. It allows you to get up and running with a complete Home Assistant setup by entering one line of code into your Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Jessie:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>wget -Nnv https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/fabric-home-assistant/master/hass_rpi_installer.sh <span class="o">&amp;&amp;</span> bash hass_rpi_installer.sh;
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>This feature wouldn’t be complete if it wasn’t accompanied by a new video by Ben from <a href="http://www.bruhautomation.com">BRUH Automation</a>. The video shows how to install Raspbian Jessie on your Raspberry Pi and use the new installation script to get a full Home Assistant system up and running.</p>

<p><em>This post is by Home Assistant contributor <a href="https://github.com/pavoni">Greg Dowling</a>.</em></p>
<p>In <a href="/blog/2016/04/30/ibeacons-part-1-making-presence-detection-work-better">Part 1</a> I talked about using iBeacons to improve presence tracking. In part 2 I’ll talk about how to track things like keys that can’t track themselves by using iBeacons.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="tracking-things-using-ibeacons" href="#tracking-things-using-ibeacons"></a> Tracking things using iBeacons</h3>
<p>In the first part I mentioned that iBeacons just send out <em>I’m here</em> packets, and we used this to trigger an update when your phone came close to a fixed beacon.</p>
<p>But beacons don’t have to be fixed.</p>
<p>Your phone knows roughly where it is located (based on mobile phone masts, Wi-Fi networks or GPS). If your phone sees an <em>I’m here</em> message then it knows the beacon is close.</p>
<p>If your phone can remember (or tell a server) where it was when it last saw the iBeacon - then it knows where the beacon was. So the result of this is that you can track where an iBeacon was - even though the iBeacon doesn’t have any tracking technology itself.</p>
<p>So if you put an iBeacon on your keys or in your car - then you can track them.</p>
<p class="img">
<img width="200" src="/images/blog/2016-05-ibeacons/keys_with_beacon.jpg" />
Here are my keys - with a Estimote Nearable iBeacon stuck to them. Ugly but effective!
</p>
<a name="read-more"></a>
<p>It’s easier to set up OwnTracks and HA to track a mobile beacon than the fixed beacon I discussed in Part 1, because you only need to tell OwnTracks about your iBeacon. You don’t need to configure HA at all.</p>
<p class="note warning">OwnTracks currently only supports mobile beacons on iOS.</p>
<p>You set up the beacon the same way as we discussed in part 1. The only difference is that instead of calling the region the name of a location (eg -drive) you call it the name of the device you want to track (eg -keys). Remember the leading ‘-’ that makes the connection more reliable.</p>
<p class="img">
<img width="200" src="/images/blog/2016-04-ibeacons/owntracks_beacon_setup.png" />
</p>
<p>Once you’ve added the iBeacon - you should be able to see it on the OwnTracks region screen. If your phone can see the packets from that beacon, OwnTracks will turn the relevant Region red.</p>
<p>Because you turned <em>Share</em> on for the region, when OwnTracks sees the beacon it will send HA a message. HA will use this message to add the beacon as a tracked device if it hasn’t seen it before. So you should see a new device appear in HA called device_tracker.beacon_[name] - and its location will be where your phone thought it was when it last saw the beacon.</p>
<p class="img">
<img width="200" src="/images/blog/2016-05-ibeacons/keys_device.png" />
</p>
<p>If your phone moves and sends HA a new location while it is still in range of the beacon - HA will update the location of the beacon. So if go for a drive in your car - you will see both your phone and the <em>device_tracker.beacon_car</em> move together.</p>
<p>If you park your car and go shopping - <em>device_tracker.beacon_car</em> will stop moving.</p>
<p>With the basic tracking working - you can use automation to do things like open your gates if your car comes home</p>

</div>
<p>(The delay is needed for two reasons: -</p>
<ol>
<li>HA updates the beacon and phone locations at slightly different times - so you don’t want the automation to trigger in the gap between the updates</li>
<li>I’ve found that beacons (especially the low power Estimote Nearables) can get disconnected for a few seconds so it’s best to wait a minute or so before deciding that you’ve left your keys behind)</li>
</ol>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="using-both-types-of-ibeacons-at-the-same-time" href="#using-both-types-of-ibeacons-at-the-same-time"></a> Using both types of iBeacons at the same time</h3>
<p>Of course you can use both fixed and mobile beacons at the same time. I want my gates to open when I arrive home in the car - so I use an iBeacon in the car so that I can track the car, and a iBeacon on my drive so that a location update is triggered when I arrive. I’ve been experimenting with a high power beacon in a waterproof box on my drive which seems to work well to notice when I get home.</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="buying-beacons" href="#buying-beacons"></a> Buying Beacons</h3>
<p>This isn’t a buyer’s guide, but I just wanted to mention the iBeacons I’ve been using. I think you should be able to use any iBeacon with HA and OwnTracks. You generally can’t buy beacons in your local electronics shop - so I just wanted to briefly mention the two suppliers I’ve used so far.</p>
<p>I’ve bought quite a few iBeacons from a company called <a href="http://bluesensenetworks.com/">Blue Sense Networks</a>. I work in the tech startup sector in the UK so I partly chose them because they are a local start-up who seemed worth supporting. The products, support and software all seem good. I use a number of their beacons - from a simple USB dongle, to a long range beacon. All their products have batteries that can be changed (or no batteries in the case of the externally powered USB device) - and you can configure all the parameters you’d want to using their software. I had one software issue, support got back to me at a weekend(!) - and the issue was resolved with a software release two days later.</p>
<p>All the beacons seem fine - and the long range unit does work over a longer range than my other beacons.</p>
<p>I bought some other beacons from a US/Polish startup called <a href="http://estimote.com/">Estimote</a>, who I think are better known. I bought a developer pack of 10 of their <em>nearables</em> which as well as being iBeacons also send out other data (orientation and motion) using their own protocol. This is interesting if you’re developing your own application, but for OwnTracks and HA they are just regular beacons. They are small and self adhesive - so you can stick them to things (like your keys). You can’t change all the parameters on these devices (UUID/Major/Minor are fixed) - and the batteries can’t be replaced. I also killed one of the estimote beacons (I assume the battery died) after I carried it around for a few months and dropped it many times! On the other hand they are well priced, small and waterproof!</p>
<p>I’ve mainly used these as <em>devices to track</em> rather that <em>location</em> beacons. Estimote also sell some slightly larger iBeacons with replaceable batteries. Estimote support responded quickly and were helpful when I couldn’t work out how to edit their beacon’s parameters (although the answer was <em>you can’t yet</em>).</p>
<p>The larger Blue Sense Network beacons seem to be better at maintaining a connection that the Estimotes - although that might be because I’m reluctant to turn the power to maximum and reduce the gap between sending packets on the Estimotes where I can’t replace the batteries!</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="conclusion" href="#conclusion"></a> Conclusion</h3>
<p>As I said in <a href="/blog/2016/04/30/ibeacons-part-1-making-presence-detection-work-better">part 1</a>, I’ve found iBeacons to be a good way of improving presence detection. I also used them to track devices like my car and my keys that can’t track themselves.</p>
<p>I’m still experimenting, so I hope I can do more with iBeacons. I hope I’ve encouraged you do so the same. If you do please share your experiences.</p>
