<p>Our community is amazingly helpful and creative. If you haven’t been there yet, make sure to stop by our <a href="https://discord.gg/c5DvZ4e">chat room</a> and come hang out with us. In this blog post I want to highlight a few recent awesome projects and videos from the community.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="scenegen---cli-for-making-scenes" href="#scenegen---cli-for-making-scenes"></a> SceneGen - cli for making scenes</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/acockburn/scenegen">SceneGen</a> is a new command line utility developed by <a href="https://github.com/acockburn">Andrew Cockburn</a> that helps with creating scene configurations for Home Assistant. To use it, you put your house in the preferred state, run SceneGen and it will print the scene configuration for your current states.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="videos" href="#videos"></a> Videos</h3>
<p><a href="https://partofthething.com">Nick Touran</a> has been working on integrating IR remotes with Home Assistant. He made it into a component which should be available in the next release which should arrive in a couple of days. In the meanwhile, he wrote up <a href="https://partofthething.com/thoughts/?p=1010">a blog post</a> and has put out a video showing the new integration, very cool!</p>

<p>After 2.5 years I think we can proudly say: Home Assistant is a success. I write <em>we</em> because Home Assistant is no longer a one-person side project. It has become the side project of many people who spend countless hours on making Home Assistant the best home automation software out there. To acknowledge this we migrated the repositories from being under my name to be under our own <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/">organisation on GitHub</a>.</p>
<p>On our journey we’ve reached many noteworthy milestones:</p>
<ul>
<li>#1 on HackerNews</li>
<li>Featured on ProductHunt</li>
<li>Trending repository on GitHub</li>
<li>3000 stars on GitHub</li>
<li>1.5 million page views on our website</li>
<li>Speaker at OpenIoT Summit 2016</li>
</ul>
<p>All these accomplishments are a nice pat on the back but our journey is far from over. There are a lot of challenges ahead if we want to become the go to solution for home automation <em>for everyone</em>.</p>
<p>Until now the focus has been on making a platform that developers love to use. A platform that is simple but customizable. A platform that is both powerful and reliable. But most important: a platform that is local and open. Home Assistant does a great job at all these things.</p>
<p>There will be some major challenges ahead of us to target groups other than developers. Easy installation and easy configuration being the #1. I’m sure that we’ll be able to eventually achieve these goals. I can’t say yet how or when. As with everything Home Assistant, we’ll take tiny steps, gathering feedback along the way to make sure we’re solving the right problems.</p>
<p>I am confident that we will get there because we are set up for success: we have a robust architecture, high test coverage and an active community of world class developers and users. On top of that, we use Python which allows us to move fast and tackle complex problems in elegant ways. It is so easy to learn that it allows any programmer, experienced or not, to contribute support for devices and services. It’s as simple as <a href="/developers/platform_example_sensor/#code">filling in the blanks</a>.</p>
<p>I would like to put out a big thank you to all our contributors who make Home Assistant what it is today. It doesn’t matter if it is form of code, documentation or giving support in our <a href="https://discord.gg/c5DvZ4e">chat room</a> or <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/">forums</a>. You. all. rock.</p>
<p>Cheers to the future!</p>

<p>I have recently merged code to refactor Home Assistant to use only UTC times internally. A much needed refactor. I’ve added some extra test coverage to time sensitive parts to ensure stability. The code has been live in the dev branch for the last 9 days and will be soon released to the master branch.</p>
<p>From now on all internal communication will be done in UTC: time changed events, datetime attributes of states, etc. To get the current time in UTC you can call <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant.util.dt.utcnow()</code>. This is a timezone aware UTC datetime object. <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/util/dt.py"><code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant.util.dt</code></a> is a new util package with date helpers.</p>
<p>There is also such a thing as local time. Local time is based on the time zone that you have setup in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>. Local times should only be used for user facing information: logs, frontend and automation settings in <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>.</p>
<h3>Setting up your time zone</h3>
<p>Setting up a time zone happens in <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>. If you have no time zone setup, it will be auto detected using the existing detection code using <a href="https://freegeoip.net">freegeoip.net</a>. You can find a list of compatible time zones on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones">Wikipedia</a>.</p>

</div>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>The changes to the code are mostly backwards compatible. The old <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_time_change</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_point_in_time</code> use now internally two new methods: <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_utc_time_change</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_point_in_utc_time</code>. The usage of the old methods have not changed and should be backwards compatible.</p>
<p>This refactor adds a new migration for the database adding a <code class="highlighter-rouge">utc_offset</code> column to events and states. This information is currently not used but can prove useful in the future when we start analyzing the historical data.</p>

<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_time_change</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_point_in_time</code> will now return a time zone aware datetime object. Python does not allow comparing a naive with an aware datetime object.</li>
<li>the sun attributes for rising and setting are now in UTC. The methods <code class="highlighter-rouge">sun.next_rising(hass)</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">sun.next_setting(hass)</code> are backwards compatible, just be careful if you used to read the raw attributes.</li>

<p>Most people do not like configuring things. Things just have to work, out of the box. Reaching this scenario is the goal of what we are about to introduce: our new discovery component.</p>
<p>The discovery component will scan the WiFi network from time to time for connected zeroconf/mDNS and uPnP devices. The initial introduction is mainly focussed on getting the right architecture in place and discovers Belkin WeMo switches and Google Chromecasts connected to your network. When found, it will load and notify the appropritate component and it will be ready to use within seconds.</p>
<p>Most devices still require some sort of interaction from the user after being discovered - be it a button being pressed or some sort of authentication. This is a challenge that will be solved in the future.</p>
<p>To enable the discovery component, add the following to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">home-assistant.conf</code>:</p>
<div class="language-conf highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>[<span class="n">discovery</span>]

<p>Most people do not like configuring things. Things just have to work, out of the box. Reaching this scenario is the goal of what we are about to introduce: our new discovery component.</p>
<p>The discovery component will scan the WiFi network from time to time for connected zeroconf/mDNS and uPnP devices. The initial introduction is mainly focussed on getting the right architecture in place and discovers Belkin WeMo switches and Google Chromecasts connected to your network. When found, it will load and notify the appropritate component and it will be ready to use within seconds.</p>
<p>Most devices still require some sort of interaction from the user after being discovered - be it a button being pressed or some sort of authentication. This is a challenge that will be solved in the future.</p>
<p>To enable the discovery component, add the following to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">home-assistant.conf</code>:</p>
<div class="language-conf highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>[<span class="n">discovery</span>]

<p>This new release finally brings us the release of Hassbian based on the release of Raspbian Stretch. The most significant change with this is that we now run Home Assistant on Python 3.5.
Other than that the changes are mostly to our tool <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian-config</code>.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="hassbian-config" href="#hassbian-config"></a> Hassbian-config</h3>
<p>To allow you to customize your installation further, we have made a few additions to our tool called <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian-config</code>. Majority of these changes where contributed by <a href="http://github.com/ludeeus">@Ludeeus</a>.</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="upgrade-scripts" href="#upgrade-scripts"></a> Upgrade scripts</h4>
<p><a href="http://github.com/ludeeus">@Ludeeus</a> contributed the possibility to run upgrade scripts to the <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian-config</code> tool.</p>
<ul>
<li>Upgrade Hassbian: Upgrades packages of the base operating system. Contributed by <a href="http://github.com/landrash">@Landrash</a>.</li>
<li>Upgrade Hassbian-script: Downloads and upgrades the latest release of Hassbian-scripts. Contributed by <a href="http://github.com/ludeeus">@Ludeeus</a>.</li>
<li>Upgrade Home-assistant: Upgrades the Home Assistant installation to the latest release. Contributed by <a href="http://github.com/ludeeus">@Ludeeus</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>To follow discussions about the development of the HASSbian image or to contribute join our <a href="https://discord.gg/RkajcgS">Discord chat server</a>.</p>

<p>Last month IKEA released a new home automation lineup called <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/lighting/36812/">Trådfri</a>. It consists of white bulbs, dimming remotes, color temperature remotes and motion sensors. After almost two weeks of research, we have come to the conclusion that this is going to be the perfect companion hardware to work with Home Assistant. Here is the gist of our breakdown:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Works out of the box.</strong> You can get started by just buying the already paired light and remote. You only need to buy the gateway if you want to set time-based rules for your lights or use your phone as a remote.</li>
<li><strong>Local only hub.</strong> No cloud that gathers data about how you live your life and it will keep working even if IKEA stops supporting it.</li>
<li><strong>Based on open standards.</strong> It uses Zigbee between devices and CoAP/dTLS to talk to the gateway. This means that you are not locked into a single vendor. You can pair it with Philips Hue bulbs and other compatible vendors.</li>
<li><strong>Affordable.</strong> Lights start at $12 standalone and $20 if bundled with a remote (USA prices).</li>
<li><strong>Useful design.</strong> The gateway has built-in space to hide excess cables and remotes come with magnetic holders for on the wall.</li>
<li><strong>Able to subscribe to changes (local push).</strong> Automations will be able to instantly respond to changes to device states by subscribing to the gateway for changes.</li>
<li><strong>Full integration in Home Assistant 0.43 (scheduled for release April 22).</strong> Our community built a standalone library <a href="https://github.com/ggravlingen/pytradfri">pytradfri</a> and we use it in Home Assistant. Home Assistant will automatically discover gateways on your network and guide the user to set them up.</li>
<li><strong>Downside: no integration with other systems yet.</strong> There are rumors that Homekit support will land in October and I expect both Google Home and Amazon Echo to eventually add support. Use Home Assistant to connect them all in the meanwhile.</li>
<li><strong>Semi-downside: you can’t control your lights remotely.</strong> Because it’s local only, you won’t be able to control your lights remotely unless via a third-party integration.</li>
</ul>
<p>Full breakdown available after clicking read more.</p>

<p>A year ago <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2015/12/22/amazon-echo-icloud-and-templates/">Home Assistant 0.10</a> landed. Last weekend we released 0.35. Doing 25 releases in a year is a big accomplishment by the community and each release has moved us forwards leaps and bounds. In this year alone we have seen 2800 pull requests on the main repo alone, that’s more than 7 a day!</p>
<p>One of the things that Jon Walker, the founder of the company I work for (<a href="http://www.appfolioinc.com/">AppFolio</a>), has taught me is that the biggest advantage that you can create for yourself compared to your competitors is to release more often. Every time you release you are able to get the new features into the hands of the users and developers. The faster people start using it, the faster you get feedback on the good and bad parts and thus the faster can you evolve.</p>
<p>That’s why I structured Home Assistant around a two week release cycle. It makes sure that features get out fast and it also forces us to not accumulate a backlog of things to document or test properly. Every two weeks we can start fresh. This makes it easy for new people to start contributing because it’s clear when things go out and people are not afraid to miss a release.</p>
<p>However, being on a two week release cycle also means that the community has to rally each two weeks to make sure everything is ready to go. A lot of people are involved in making sure that all pieces are in place, to all of those: thank you! Thank you for all the time and effort you put in to make Home Assistant the best home automation software out there.</p>
<p>Another big thanks goes out to the developers of the Python language and all the open source libraries and tools that Home Assistant depends on. Making quality software is not a small feat and all of you can be proud of yourself.</p>
<p>Also a big thanks for the companies that offer their services for free to open source projects. Without these we would not be able to operate at our speed or scale. Thanks <a href="https://GitHub.com">GitHub</a>, <a href="https://Travis-ci.org">TravisCI</a>, <a href="https://CloudFlare.com">CloudFlare</a> and <a href="https://Discourse.com">Discourse</a>!</p>
<p>And finally thank you community for being so helpful and awesome 🙇.</p>
<p>We’re taking a well deserved break and we will be back again in 2017 with more awesomeness. Happy holidays!</p>

<p>On first boot the latest release of Home Assistant will be installed and can be reached after 3~5 minutes. Pre-installed on this image is the MQTT broker <a href="https://mosquitto.org/">Mosquitto</a>, Bluetooth support and settings for the <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant</code> account to use the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi. Mosquitto is not activated by default.</p>
<p>As it is today there is no pre-compiled Z-Wave support but it can be installed by following the <a href="/getting-started/z-wave/">Getting started instructions for Z-Wave</a>.</p>

<p>Two weeks ago, September 17 marked our 3 year anniversary. In this time Home Assistant managed to grow from a simple script that turned on my lights when the sun set to a kick ass open source project with the best community an open-source project could wish for. This release contains features, bug fixes and performance tweaks by a total of <strong>50</strong> different people! We have also managed to cross the 1000 forks on GitHub. Talking about momentum!</p>
<p>This is a big release as we’ve completely overhauled the internals of Home Assistant. When I initially wrote Home Assistant, still figuring out the ins and outs of Python, I went for an approach that I was familiar with for an application with many moving parts: threads and locks. This approach has served us well over the years but it was slower than it needed to be, especially on limited hardware.</p>
<p>This all changed when <a href="https://github.com/bbangert">@bbangert</a> came around and took on the tough job to migrate the core over to use asynchronous programming. He did an amazing job and I am happy to say that the initial port has been done and is included in this release! On top of that, we have been able to keep our simple and straightforward API at the same time. We are still in the process of migrating more and more components over to the asynchronous API, so expect more speedups and awesome features in the upcoming releases.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="sleepiq-and-openalpr" href="#sleepiq-and-openalpr"></a> SleepIQ and OpenALPR</h3>
<p>There now is support for two new super cool things: Beds and license plates. <a href="https://github.com/technicalpickles">@technicalpickles</a> created a <a href="/components/sleepiq/">SleepIQ</a> component that let you monitor the sensor data of your bed. <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> has added license plate recognition based on <a href="/components/openalpr/">OpenALPR</a>! This means that you can now be notified about which car is parked on your driveway or in your garage. I also would like to use this opportunity to give a big shoutout to <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> for being such an awesome member of our community. He joined us at the end of June and has helped crush bugs and add awesome features ever since (65 pull requests already!).</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="configuration-validation" href="#configuration-validation"></a> Configuration validation</h3>
<p>On the voluptuous front we have also made great progress. We were able to fully remove the legacy config helpers and have migrated 323 of the 346 components and platforms that needed migrating! This does mean that for some components the configuration has slightly changed, make sure to check out the breaking changes section at the bottom for more info. Thanks everybody for reviewing the Pull requests, testing the changes, and reporting issues.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="delayed-release" href="#delayed-release"></a> Delayed Release</h3>
<p>As you might have noticed, this release has been delayed by 5 days. This was due to a rare, difficult to reproduce problem with the Python interpreter. A huuuuge thanks to all the people that have helped countless hours in researching, debugging and fixing this issue: <a href="https://github.com/bbangert">@bbangert</a>, <a href="https://github.com/turbokongen">@turbokongen</a>, <a href="https://github.com/lwis">@lwis</a>, <a href="https://github.com/kellerza">@kellerza</a>, <a href="https://github.com/technicalpickles">@technicalpickles</a>, <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a>, <a href="https://github.com/persandstrom">@persandstrom</a> and <a href="https://github.com/joyrider3774">@joyrider3774</a>. I am grateful to have all of you as part of the Home Assistant community.</p>

<p>Since 0.28 <a href="/blog/2016/09/10/notify-group-reload-api-pihole/#reload-automation-rules">automation rules</a> can be reloaded directly from the frontend.

<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>Two weeks ago, September 17 marked our 3 year anniversary. In this time Home Assistant managed to grow from a simple script that turned on my lights when the sun set to a kick ass open source project with the best community an open-source project could wish for. This release contains features, bug fixes and performance tweaks by a total of <strong>50</strong> different people! We have also managed to cross the 1000 forks on GitHub. Talking about momentum!</p>
<p>This is a big release as we’ve completely overhauled the internals of Home Assistant. When I initially wrote Home Assistant, still figuring out the ins and outs of Python, I went for an approach that I was familiar with for an application with many moving parts: threads and locks. This approach has served us well over the years but it was slower than it needed to be, especially on limited hardware.</p>
<p>This all changed when <a href="https://github.com/bbangert">@bbangert</a> came around and took on the tough job to migrate the core over to use asynchronous programming. He did an amazing job and I am happy to say that the initial port has been done and is included in this release! On top of that, we have been able to keep our simple and straightforward API at the same time. We are still in the process of migrating more and more components over to the asynchronous API, so expect more speedups and awesome features in the upcoming releases.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="sleepiq-and-openalpr" href="#sleepiq-and-openalpr"></a> SleepIQ and OpenALPR</h3>
<p>There now is support for two new super cool things: Beds and license plates. <a href="https://github.com/technicalpickles">@technicalpickles</a> created a <a href="/components/sleepiq/">SleepIQ</a> component that let you monitor the sensor data of your bed. <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> has added license plate recognition based on <a href="/components/openalpr/">OpenALPR</a>! This means that you can now be notified about which car is parked on your driveway or in your garage. I also would like to use this opportunity to give a big shoutout to <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> for being such an awesome member of our community. He joined us at the end of June and has helped crush bugs and add awesome features ever since (65 pull requests already!).</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="configuration-validation" href="#configuration-validation"></a> Configuration validation</h3>
<p>On the voluptuous front we have also made great progress. We were able to fully remove the legacy config helpers and have migrated 323 of the 346 components and platforms that needed migrating! This does mean that for some components the configuration has slightly changed, make sure to check out the breaking changes section at the bottom for more info. Thanks everybody for reviewing the Pull requests, testing the changes, and reporting issues.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="delayed-release" href="#delayed-release"></a> Delayed Release</h3>
<p>As you might have noticed, this release has been delayed by 5 days. This was due to a rare, difficult to reproduce problem with the Python interpreter. A huuuuge thanks to all the people that have helped countless hours in researching, debugging and fixing this issue: <a href="https://github.com/bbangert">@bbangert</a>, <a href="https://github.com/turbokongen">@turbokongen</a>, <a href="https://github.com/lwis">@lwis</a>, <a href="https://github.com/kellerza">@kellerza</a>, <a href="https://github.com/technicalpickles">@technicalpickles</a>, <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a>, <a href="https://github.com/persandstrom">@persandstrom</a> and <a href="https://github.com/joyrider3774">@joyrider3774</a>. I am grateful to have all of you as part of the Home Assistant community.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="hide-automation-rules" href="#hide-automation-rules"></a> Hide automation rules</h3>
<p>Since 0.28 <a href="/blog/2016/09/10/notify-group-reload-api-pihole/#reload-automation-rules">automation rules</a> can be reloaded directly from the frontend. By default all automation rules are shown. If you want to <a href="/getting-started/automation-create-first/">hide an automation rule</a>, use <code class="highlighter-rouge">hide_entity: True</code>.</p>

The first release of Micropython for ESP8266 was delivered a couple of weeks ago. The <a href="http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/esp8266_contents.html">documentation</a> covers a lot of ground. This post is providing only a little summary which should get you started.</p>
<p>Until a couple of weeks ago, the pre-built MicroPython binary for the ESP8266 was only available to backers of the Kickstarter campaign. This has changed now and it is available to the public for <a href="https://micropython.org/download/#esp8266">download</a>.</p>

The first release of Micropython for ESP8266 was delivered a couple of weeks ago. The <a href="http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/esp8266_contents.html">documentation</a> covers a lot of ground. This post is providing only a little summary which should get you started.</p>
<p>Until a couple of weeks ago, the pre-built MicroPython binary for the ESP8266 was only available to backers of the Kickstarter campaign. This has changed now and it is available to the public for <a href="https://micropython.org/download/#esp8266">download</a>.</p>

<p>Our community is amazingly helpful and creative. If you haven’t been there yet, make sure to stop by our <a href="https://discord.gg/c5DvZ4e">chat room</a> and come hang out with us. In this blog post I want to highlight a few recent awesome projects and videos from the community.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="scenegen---cli-for-making-scenes" href="#scenegen---cli-for-making-scenes"></a> SceneGen - cli for making scenes</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/acockburn/scenegen">SceneGen</a> is a new command line utility developed by <a href="https://github.com/acockburn">Andrew Cockburn</a> that helps with creating scene configurations for Home Assistant. To use it, you put your house in the preferred state, run SceneGen and it will print the scene configuration for your current states.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="videos" href="#videos"></a> Videos</h3>
<p><a href="https://partofthething.com">Nick Touran</a> has been working on integrating IR remotes with Home Assistant. He made it into a component which should be available in the next release which should arrive in a couple of days. In the meanwhile, he wrote up <a href="https://partofthething.com/thoughts/?p=1010">a blog post</a> and has put out a video showing the new integration, very cool!</p>
