<p>I have recently merged code to refactor Home Assistant to use only UTC times internally. A much needed refactor. I&rsquo;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>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>homeassistant.util.dt.utcnow()</code>. This is a timezone aware UTC datetime object. <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/util/dt.py"><code>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>configuration.yaml</code>. Local times should only be used for user facing information: logs, frontend and automation settings in <code>configuration.yaml</code>.</p>
<h3>Setting up your time zone</h3>
<p>Setting up a time zone happens in <code>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>

<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>The changes to the code are mostly backwards compatible. The old <code>hass.track_time_change</code> and <code>hass.track_point_in_time</code> use now internally two new methods: <code>hass.track_utc_time_change</code> and <code>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>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>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="backwards-incompatible-stuff" href="#backwards-incompatible-stuff"></a> Backwards incompatible stuff</h3>
<p>All built-in components have been upgraded. The following list is only for people that run custom components:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>hass.track_time_change</code> and <code>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>sun.next_rising(hass)</code> and <code>sun.next_setting(hass)</code> are backwards compatible, just be careful if you used to read the raw attributes.</li>
<li>the API sends all times in UTC. If you use anything else besides the frontend to talk to HA, make sure it handles it differently.</li>

<p>Almost three busy weeks have past since the last release. We used this time to finally make the overhaul to use UTC as the internal date time format. We added a bunch of test coverage in the process to make sure the transition went smoothly. Pleas see <a href="/blog/2015/05/09/utc-time-zone-awareness/#backwards-incompatible-stuff">the blog post about the UTC refactor</a> for backwards incompatible changes.</p>
<p>This release includes a significant startup boost for the frontend and a fix for Wemo discovery after their latest firmware upgrade.</p>
<p>I would like to give a big shout out to our newest contributor <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">fabaff</a> for taking the time to improve the documentation.</p>

<p><strong>Overwriting Entity Attributes</strong><br>
<p><strong>Overwriting Entity Attributes</strong><br />
Before diving into the newly supported devices and services, I want to highlight an awesome configuration enhancement by <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus">rmkraus</a>: overwriting entity attributes.</p>
<p>These new configuration settings allow you to overwrite entity state attributes. The main usage for this is being able to overwrite attributes that influence how an entity is shown in the interface.</p>
