0.36: ISS, USPS, Image processing, Insteon
+ + + + + +Welcome to 2017 and 0.36. We are proud to announce the first release for this year. While we are still migrating parts to async but 0.36 is focusing on new features and a lot of bug fixes.
+ +Packages
+Packages are providing a new way to organize different component’s configuration parts together. With packages we offer the option to include different components or parts of configuration using any of the !include
directives.
InfluxDB export
+The InfluxDB component was causing problems in a wide variety of use cases. @titilambert improved our InfluxDB exporter feature. It might be that you need to run the migration script to update your InfluxDB database.
+ +$ hass --script influxdb_migrator \
+ -H IP_INFLUXDB_HOST -u INFLUXDB_USERNAME -p INFLUXDB_PASSWORD \
+ -o test_series -d INFLUXDB_DB_NAME
+
+International Space Station (ISS)
+No, unfortunately we are not going to space. The iss
sensor is tracking the position of the International Space Station and gives your some details.
Insteon local
+The support for Insteon was removed due to issues a while ago. With the insteon_local
component support for Insteon is back and let one work locally with an Insteon setup.
Image processing
+The new image processing component currently works with number plates. But this could level the way to integrate feature like facial recognition, motion detection, or gestures control.
