I don’t think we could wish for a better place to be at the end of 2016. Feels like an early Christmas present! Our early one for you is 0.35. It’s not a single thing inside a nice wrapping, more like several little gifts inside the 0.35 box.

This will be the last release of 2016 as our developers are taking a well deserved break. We will be back in 2017!

+ +

Text to Speech

+

With the addition of a text-to-speech component by @pvizeli we have been able to bring Home Assistant to a whole new level. The text-to-speech component will take in any text and will play it on a media player that supports to play media. We have tested this on Sonos, Chromecast, and Google Home.

Call for help with HASSbian (our Raspberry Pi image)

+

In an effort to make Home Assistant, we’re planning to extend the things that people can do out of the box with HASSbian, our Raspberry Pi image. As you might know, the image is currently maintained by @Landrash. However he also spends a lot of time on improving the docs and helping out with a ton of other things.

+ +

So if you know your Linux-foo and would love to contribute to open source, join the Hassbian developer chat and take a stab at one of our open issues.

+ +

VLC media player, Broadlink, and GPSLogger

+

Let you control VLC media player and play sound on connected speakers.

+ +

This Broadlink switch platform allow to you control Broadlink RM2 Pro and RM mini IR+RF devices. This Broadlink sensor platform adds support for Broadlink RM2 and A1 Devices.

+ +

The GPSLogger now also supports attributes as the speed, direction, altitude, provider, and activity.

+ +

All changes

+ + +

If you need help…

…don’t hesitate to use our Forum or join us for a little chat. The release notes have comments enabled but it’s preferred if you use the former communication channels. Thanks.

A new contributor to Home Assistant who will focus on exploring and visualizing Home Assistant data.

- -

As we learned in the recent blog post by Fabian, all operational data of your Home Assistant application is stored locally and is available for exploration. Our first steps were querying data with the DB Browser for SQLite, exporting the data extract as a CSV file and graphing in LibreOffice. But what else can be done with this data and what tools are there available?

- -

This post will help you get set up using a few popular data scientist tools to allow you to locally process your data:

- - - -

- -One of the graphs created with this tutorial. -

- -

TL; DR: Use this Jupyter Notebook to visualize of your data

- - - -

Dependencies

- -

In order to run the provided Jupyter notebook, please make sure you have the following applications/libraries installed on your computer:

- - - -

As a Windows user myself, I find the easiest, quickest and most hassle-free way of installing all of these dependencies is to use WinPython. This free open-source portable distribution includes all of the dependencies required for this notebook, as well as a few other essential Python libraries you may require for data exploration in the future.

- -

Why Jupyter?

- -

While all Home Assistant implementations can have varying setup, components and scripts, the underlying data structure is standardized and well-defined. This allows us to write Python code that is environmentally agnostic. Wrapping it in a Jupyter notebook ensures the code, visualizations and directions/explanations are kept digestible and neatly-packaged. One of the amazing features of Jupyter is the ability to change code as you go along, customizing all outputs and visualizations on the fly!

- -

Where do I start?

- -

This tutorial is based around a heavily commented Jupyter Notebook that we created. So to get started, you will have to open that:

- - - -

That’s it! The included code will walk you through importing the required libraries, show running raw SQL against your local database, plotting basic data from the states table, and in the end output a few plots of changes for every entity in your system as well as the mean daily value for the past 20 days.

- -

After just those few steps, you will be greeted with beautiful formatted data like this:

- -

- -One of the graphs created with this tutorial. -

- -

What’s next?

- -

Thanks to the magic of Jupyter, all of the code is customizable: want to selectively display your data, only covering a specific entity? Sure thing! Want to change the properties of the plots? No problem!

- -

While you learn and explore your IoT data, we will be working on providing more ready-to-use Jupyter Notebooks. Feel free to ask questions or provide suggestions. Would you like to see a specific visualization? Is there a particular facet of data you’re interested in? Let’s talk about it, let’s dive into the world of data together!

Feels like an early Christmas present! Our early one for you is 0.35. It’s not a single thing inside a nice wrapping, more like several little gifts inside the 0.35 box.

    + +

    This will be the last release of 2016 as our developers are taking a well deserved break. We will be back in 2017!

    + +

    Text to Speech

    +

    With the addition of a text-to-speech component by @pvizeli we have been able to bring Home Assistant to a whole new level. The text-to-speech component will take in any text and will play it on a media player that supports to play media. We have tested this on Sonos, Chromecast, and Google Home.

    Call for help with HASSbian (our Raspberry Pi image)

    +

    In an effort to make Home Assistant, we’re planning to extend the things that people can do out of the box with HASSbian, our Raspberry Pi image. As you might know, the image is currently maintained by @Landrash. However he also spends a lot of time on improving the docs and helping out with a ton of other things.

    + +

    So if you know your Linux-foo and would love to contribute to open source, join the Hassbian developer chat and take a stab at one of our open issues.

    + +

    VLC media player, Broadlink, and GPSLogger

    +

    Let you control VLC media player and play sound on connected speakers.

    + +

    This Broadlink switch platform allow to you control Broadlink RM2 Pro and RM mini IR+RF devices. This Broadlink sensor platform adds support for Broadlink RM2 and A1 Devices.

    + +

    The GPSLogger now also supports attributes as the speed, direction, altitude, provider, and activity.

    + +

    All changes

    + + +

    If you need help…

    +

    …don’t hesitate to use our Forum or join us for a little chat. The release notes have comments enabled but it’s preferred if you use the former communication channels. Thanks.

This sensor is consuming values from another sensor and is doing some statistical analysis of the data. Over a group of samples is the average/mean, the min/max, the total, the standard deviation, and the variance calculated which can be used in your automation rules. If the source is a binary sensor then the state changes are counted. - -

Please check the Breaking changes section for more details. - -The [REST sensor][rest-sensor] supports now HTTP authentication (basic and digest) and custom headers.

    5000 stars on GitHub, 2000 people in out Gitter chatroom and over a million monthly pageviews. I don’t think we could wish for a better place to be at the end of 2016. Feels like an early Christmas present! Our early one for you is 0.35. It’s not a single thing inside a nice wrapping, more like several little gifts inside the 0.35 box.

    + +

    This will be the last release of 2016 as our developers are taking a well deserved break. We will be back in 2017!

    + +

    Text to Speech

    +

    With the addition of a text-to-speech component by @pvizeli we have been able to bring Home Assistant to a whole new level. The text-to-speech component will take in any text and will play it on a media player that supports to play media. We have tested this on Sonos, Chromecast, and Google Home.

    Call for help with HASSbian (our Raspberry Pi image)

    +

    In an effort to make Home Assistant, we’re planning to extend the things that people can do out of the box with HASSbian, our Raspberry Pi image. As you might know, the image is currently maintained by @Landrash. However he also spends a lot of time on improving the docs and helping out with a ton of other things.

    + +

    So if you know your Linux-foo and would love to contribute to open source, join the Hassbian developer chat and take a stab at one of our open issues.

    + +

    VLC media player, Broadlink, and GPSLogger

    +

    Let you control VLC media player and play sound on connected speakers.

    + +

    This Broadlink switch platform allow to you control Broadlink RM2 Pro and RM mini IR+RF devices. This Broadlink sensor platform adds support for Broadlink RM2 and A1 Devices.

    + +

    The GPSLogger now also supports attributes as the speed, direction, altitude, provider, and activity.

    It’s already time for 0.28 thanks to our super short release cycles. Now, it’ official…we hit 4000 stars on Github. That’s amazing. Sorry, not as amazing as all the stuff that was going on for 0.27 but still pretty awesome.

    Reload automation rules

    This release brings you a huge improvement of the automation and group handling. Both can be reloaded without a Home Assistant restart by calling their new reload services. The automations can be controlled directly from the frontend.

    Raspberry Pi installation guide

    -

    Singleboard computers are very popular to run Home Assistant. To support this fact, the installation documentation for the Raspberry Pi devices was re-written to get users started as quickly as possible. @Landrash took the lead with on this tasks with help from @kellerza and @MartinHjelmare.

    - -

    Climate and cover

    -

    There are countless bugfixes included in this release which will make your experience with the climate and the cover platforms better. Two week ago was the biggest merger of implementations released that ever happened in the history of Home Assistant. Thanks to @turbokongen, @pvizeli, @djbanks, @danielperna84, and others the improvements on the code and the frontend side is continuing…

    - -

    API documentation

    -

    The Home Assistant API Documentation is a great addition to the already exisiting user documentation. The focus is not end-users but developers who whant to get details about the code without actually browsing the code on Github.

    - -

    Configuration validation

    -

    The validation of the configuration is still on-going. Approximatly 80 % is done. This means that we will propably talk about this topic in the next release notes again. To align the configuration of components and platforms we needed to break some. Please refer to the Breaking changes section to check if you need to update your configuration or simple check your log for configuration validation errors. Thanks to @kellerza, @fabaff, @Teagan42, and @pvizeli for your effort!

    Breaking changes

    - -
      -
    • OpenweatherMap entity IDs are now like sensor.owm_temperature. Previously they were like sensor.weather_temperature. Apologies for this change, but we needed to make OpenWeatherMap more generic now that we have many weather platforms.
      • -
    • Updates of configuration variables due to configuration check or alignment with other platforms. Please update your configuration entries according to the documentation: - -
      • -
    • Custom components extending BaseNotificationService need to be aware that kwargs.get(ATTR_TITLE) will now return None if a title has not been set, and will need to specify kwargs.get(ATTR_TITLE, ATTR_TITLE_DEFAULT) if they always require a title.

    +

    One of the things that was missing in Home Assistant for a while was a way to communicate with users. Wouldn’t it be nice to get a message when important events happen like the lights being turned on while no one is home? Since the Home Assistant frontend runs as a web application on the phone, we have no way to bring ourselves to the front. This is where the new notify component comes in, powered by PushBullet.

    + +

    The new notify component will take in messages and tells them to the user. For now this will be powered by the very awesome PushBullet but any other messaging platform can be easily added.

    + +

    + + A message triggered by the simple_alarm component is shown by PushBullet on the Moto360. +

    + +

    Read on to learn how to enable the notify component and integrate it with other components.

    Singleboard computers are very popular to run Home Assistant. To support this fact, the installation documentation for the Raspberry Pi devices was re-written to get users started as quickly as possible. @Landrash took the lead with on this tasks with help from @kellerza and @MartinHjelmare.

    + +

    Climate and cover

    +

    There are countless bugfixes included in this release which will make your experience with the climate and the cover platforms better. Two week ago was the biggest merger of implementations released that ever happened in the history of Home Assistant. Thanks to @turbokongen, @pvizeli, @djbanks, @danielperna84, and others the improvements on the code and the frontend side is continuing…

    + +

    API documentation

    +

    The Home Assistant API Documentation is a great addition to the already exisiting user documentation. The focus is not end-users but developers who whant to get details about the code without actually browsing the code on Github.

    + +

    Configuration validation

    +

    The validation of the configuration is still on-going. Approximatly 80 % is done. This means that we will propably talk about this topic in the next release notes again. To align the configuration of components and platforms we needed to break some. Please refer to the Breaking changes section to check if you need to update your configuration or simple check your log for configuration validation errors. Thanks to @kellerza, @fabaff, @Teagan42, and @pvizeli for your effort!

    • Updates of configuration variables due to configuration check or alignment with other platforms. Please update your configuration entries according to the documentation: + +
      • +
    • Custom components extending BaseNotificationService need to be aware that kwargs.get(ATTR_TITLE) will now return None if a title has not been set, and will need to specify kwargs.get(ATTR_TITLE, ATTR_TITLE_DEFAULT) if they always require a title.

    This is the first blog post by Anton Kireyeu. A new contributor to Home Assistant who will focus on exploring and visualizing Home Assistant data.

    - -

    As we learned in the recent blog post by Fabian, all operational data of your Home Assistant application is stored locally and is available for exploration. Our first steps were querying data with the DB Browser for SQLite, exporting the data extract as a CSV file and graphing in LibreOffice. But what else can be done with this data and what tools are there available?

    - -

    This post will help you get set up using a few popular data scientist tools to allow you to locally process your data:

    - -
      -
    •  Pandas: an open source tool for data analysis for Python
      • -
    •  matplotlib: a Python plotting library
      • -
    •  Jupyter notebook: application for creation and sharing of documents containing live code, visualizations and explanatory text
      • -
    - -

    - -One of the graphs created with this tutorial. -

    TL; DR: Use this Jupyter Notebook to visualize of your data

    In Part 1 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.

    Tracking things using iBeacons

    -

    In the first part I mentioned that iBeacons just send out I’m here packets, and we used this to trigger an update when your phone came close to a fixed beacon.

    - -

    But beacons don’t have to be fixed.

    - -

    Your phone knows roughly where it is located (based on mobile phone masts, Wi-Fi networks or GPS). If your phone sees an I’m here message then it knows the beacon is close.

    - -

    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.

    - -

    So if you put an iBeacon on your keys or in your car - then you can track them.

    - -

    - - Here are my keys - with a Estimote Nearable iBeacon stuck to them. Ugly but effective! -

    One of the main complaints that we receive is something along the lines “I read that X is possible yet I am unable to find it on the website.”. This post is to announce that we have taken the first steps to improve it by revamping the getting started and developers sections. It’s still a work in progress but we now have a solid foundation to build on for the future 👍.

    - -

    Our documentation has been going through various phases. Initially it was just the README in our GitHub repository. I discovered Jekyll and GitHub pages in December 2014 and created home-assistant.io. I more or less broke the README in 5 pages and called it a website. Back then we had a whopping 11 components.

    - -

    As Home Assistant grew, so did our documentation. Fabian Affolter does an amazing job in making sure there is at least a documentation stub for each new feature that lands. And that’s quite a feat given our frequent releases! But despite all the efforts, the documentation outgrew our existing documentation organisation.

    - -

    Today it has been almost 1.5 years since we started the website. We now have 264 components and platforms under our belt and have been honored with 1.5 million page views ✨. And hopefully we now also have documentation that our community deserves.

    The core of home automation is knowing what’s going on. The faster we know about a state change, the better we can serve the user. If you want to have your lights to turn on when you arrive at home, it doesn’t help if it only knows about it after you’ve already opened the door and manually (!!) turned on the light.

    - -

    Each smart device consists of the ‘normal’ device and the piece that makes it ‘smart’: the connectivity. The connectivity part of a device can consists of either control, state or both.

    - -

    State describes what a device is up to right now. For example, a light can be on with a red color and a medium brightness.

    - -

    Control is about controlling the smart device by sending commands via an API. These commands can vary from configuring how a device works till mimicking how a user would interact with a device. A media player can allow skipping to the next track and a sensor could allow to configure its sensitivity or polling interval.

    - -

    The Home Assistant APIs are setup to be as convenient as possible. However, a network is always as weak as it’s weakest link. In our case these are the integrations. Take for example controlling a light that does not report state. The only state Home Assistant can report on after sending a command is the assumed state: what do we expect the state of the light to be if the command worked.

    - -

    We want our users to get the best home automation experience out there and this starts with making sure they have devices that work well with Home Assistant. That’s why we will start applying the following classifiers to our integrations:

    - -

    ClassifierDescription
    Assumed State - We are unable to get the state of the device. Best we can do is to assume the state based on our last command. -
    Cloud Polling - Integration of this device happens via the cloud and requires an active internet connection. Polling the state means that an update might be noticed later. -
    Cloud Push - Integration of this device happens via the cloud and requires an active internet connection. Home Assistant will be notified as soon as a new state is available. -
    Local Polling - Offers direct communication with device. Polling the state means that an update might be noticed later. -
    Local Push - Offers direct communication with device. Home Assistant will be notified as soon as a new state is available. -
