<p>Another awesome release ready to hit your homes. YAML can be hard for beginners and more experienced automators. So to help catch those pesky errors that sneak into your files we’ve been hard at work to introduce config validation! Especially huge thanks to <a href="https://github.com/jaharkes/">@jaharkes</a> for his hard work on this. Config validation is still in it’s early stages. More common platforms and components have been added but we didn’t do everything yet.</p>
<p>When we encounter an invalid config we will now write a warning to your logs. You can see those in the frontend by clicking on the last developer tool. We’re looking into options to make it more clear - it is a work in progress.</p>
<p>Another big thing is the addition of GTFS support. You probably don’t know it, but GTFS is the standard that public transit companies all over the world use to distribute their schedule. This means that you can now have the time of the next bus/train/etc right in your frontend.</p>

<h3>Breaking changes</h3>
<p>As of now we are not aware of any breaking changes. However, it might be that Home Assistant will not start for you because of an invalid configuration. A common mistake that people are making is that they are still referring to <code class="highlighter-rouge">execute_service</code> in their script configs. This should be <code class="highlighter-rouge">service</code>.</p>

<p>So you own a <a href="http://smartthings.com">SmartThings</a> Hub. You probably bought it when you were looking to get into the whole Home Automation hobby because it worked with pretty much everything and offered you the ability to automate <strong>anything.</strong> After a week of ownership, you realized that building dashboards and automating required writing way more Groovy then you expected. Then one day you were browsing <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/homeautomation">reddit</a> and discovered the amazingness that is Home Assistant! A solution that offered dashboards, graphs, working support for Nest, and REAL EASY automation!</p>
<p>You spent your weekend getting everything set up, showing it off to your significant other, but in the end you got stumped when it came to integrating with all your existing SmartThings toys. What do I do now? Should I buy another hub? Should I just buy a Z-Wave stick?</p>
<p>That’s where we came in. We wanted a solution that can bridge the awesomeness of Home Assistant with the SmartThings hub that works with almost everything.</p>

<p>From time to time we come along things that are worth sharing with fellow Home Assisters. Here a list of some cool stuff from last week:</p>
<p>First is the public beta of <a href="https://letsencrypt.org/">Let’s Encrypt</a>. Let’s Encrypt is a new certificate authority that is free, automated and open. This means that it will now be very easy to secure your connection to Home Assistant while you are away from home. W1ll1am23 has written up <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/t/homeassistant-nginx-ssl-proxy-setup/53">a guide how to get started</a>.</p>
<p>The next thing is a show-off of some of the cool stuff people do with Home Assistant. This is miniconfig talking to Home Assistant using the Amazon Echo!</p>

<p>The internet has been buzzing over the last year about home automation. A lot of different terms fly around like the internet of things, home automation and the smart home.
This article will try to explain how they all relate.</p>
<p>The first thing to introduce is the <strong>Internet of Things</strong> (IoT). This refers to a new generation of devices that cannot only be controlled by humans via buttons or remotes but also provide an interface to communicate with other devices and applications. For example, an IoT-capable coffee machine could receive commands to create different types of coffee and be able to broadcast the amount of water left in its resevoir.</p>
<p>There is no widely adopted open standard for smart device communication. This prevents a lot of devices to communicate with one another. And even if they could, most devices are not designed to manage other devices. To solve this we need a device to be able to communicate with and manage all these connected devices. This device is called a <strong>hub</strong>.</p>
<p>As a bare minimum a hub has to keep track of the state of each device and should be able to control them if possible. For example, it has to know which lights are on or off and offer a way to control the lights. For a sensor it only has to know the value. A hub with these capabilities offers <strong>home control</strong>.</p>

<p>It’s time for a great new release!</p>
<p>We’ve started the process of upgrading our frontend technology. If you notice something not working that did work before, please open <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/issues">an issue</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">Pascal</a> has added a new option to Home Assistant core to set a list of whitelisted folders that Home Assistant can read from. When a component allows to send files (like Telegram), it will only be allowed to send files from those directories. The only default whitelisted folder is the public <code class="highlighter-rouge">&lt;config&gt;/www</code> directory.</p>
<p>Z-Wave will, as announced in the <a href="/blog/2017/06/17/release-47/">last release</a>, be defaulting to generate the new entity ids. More info in the <a href="/blog/2017/06/15/zwave-entity-ids/">blog post</a>. You can still opt-in for the old style.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">zwave</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">new_entity_ids</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">false</span>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="big-speed-up-in-querying-the-history" href="#big-speed-up-in-querying-the-history"></a> Big speed up in querying the history</h2>
<p>Thanks to the work by <a href="https://github.com/cmsimike">@cmsimike</a> in <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/8255">#8255</a> you’ll see a significant speed up when using the history view. In his local tests queries went from 1 minute to 90ms! ⚡️</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="snipsai-component" href="#snipsai-component"></a> Snips.ai component</h2>
<p>Snips has contributed a component to integrate with their Snips.ai local voice assistant. This will allow you to hook a speaker and a microphone into your Raspberry Pi and make your own local Amazon Echo quickly. See <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/snips/">the docs</a> for further instructions.</p>
<p>Also a shoutout to <a href="https://github.com/michaelarnauts">@michaelarnauts</a> for keeping an eye on our Docker build and once again reducing the file size 👍</p>

<p>It’s time for Home Assistant 0.42. This release has been focused on refining the system and fixing a lot of bugs. We have also upgraded to the latest version of our HTTP library which should give us a significant boost serving files and API.</p>
<p>On our social media front, we have crossed the 1000 likes on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/homeassistantio">our Facebook page</a>!

<p>It’s time for Home Assistant 0.42. This release has been focused on refining the system and fixing a lot of bugs. We have also upgraded to the latest version of our HTTP library which should give us a significant boost serving files and API.</p>
<p>On our social media front, we have crossed the 1000 likes on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/homeassistantio">our Facebook page</a>! Also on the social media front, the YouTube channel diyAutomate has been putting out a lot of great getting started videos about Home Assistant, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/diyautomate">go check them out!</a></p>

<p>Another Saturday, another release!</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="core-updates" href="#core-updates"></a> Core updates</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a>, all the core components are now written asynchronously. All entity components are now migrated from synchronously to asynchronously code!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Now when you restart Home Assistant using the <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant.restart</code> service, your configuration is checked. If it appears to be invalid the restart will fail.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="rewritten-frontend" href="#rewritten-frontend"></a> Rewritten frontend</h3>
<p>The frontend has been completely been rewritten, optimizing for speed and lost connection recovery. Even on the slowest phones it should fly now. The frontend also now uses the new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/websocket_api/">WebSockets API</a> instead of the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/server_sent_events/">EventStream API</a>.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="custom-state-card-ui" href="#custom-state-card-ui"></a> Custom state card UI</h3>
<p>A nice new feature is the possibility to create <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/frontend_creating_custom_ui/">custom state cards</a> in the frontend. Go ahead and write your own state card for <a href="https://home-assistant.io/cookbook/custom_ui_by_andrey-git">lights</a>, sensors, locks, etc.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="mqtt-discovery" href="#mqtt-discovery"></a> MQTT discovery</h3>
<p>MQTT now has <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/mqtt/#discovery">discovery</a> support which is different than our <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/discovery/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">discovery</code></a> component. Similar to the HTTP sensor and HTTP binary sensor, MQTT discovery removes the need for configuration by allowing devices to make their presence known to Home Assistant.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="alert-component" href="#alert-component"></a> Alert component</h3>
<p>If you left your front door open, then the new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/alert/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">alert</code></a> component can be used to remind you of this by sending you repeating notifications at a given interval.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="yeelight" href="#yeelight"></a> Yeelight</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/light.yeelight/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">yeelight</code></a> component has been ported to use a more stable and feature-complete <a href="https://gitlab.com/stavros/python-yeelight">python-yeelight</a> backend, and supports now both white and RGB bulbs. The component also supports transitions and can be configured to save the settings to the bulb on changes. The users currently using custom components for Yeelight are encouraged to move back to use the included version and report any problems with it to our <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues">issue tracker</a>.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="apple-tv" href="#apple-tv"></a> Apple TV</h3>
<p><a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.apple_tv/">Apple TV</a> is now a supported <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">media_player</code></a>! It has support for just about every media player function, including a realtime display of playback status and artwork.</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="breaking-changes" href="#breaking-changes"></a> Breaking changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>The support for <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.webostv/">LG webOS Smart TVs</a> was improved. This requires you to move <code class="highlighter-rouge">$HOME/.pylgtv</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">$HASS_CONFIG_DIR/webostv.conf</code> or Home Assistant will need to be paired with the TV again.</li>
<li>Image processing events have been renamed: <code class="highlighter-rouge">identify_face</code> has become <code class="highlighter-rouge">image_processing.detect_face</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">found_plate</code> has become <code class="highlighter-rouge">image_processing.found_plate</code></li>
<li>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor.ffmpeg/">FFmpeg binary sensor</a> change the platform name from <code class="highlighter-rouge">ffmpeg</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">ffmpeg_noise</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">ffmpeg_motion</code>. Also all FFmpeg-related services are moved from a platform implementation to a the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/ffmpeg/">FFmpeg components</a> and were rename from <code class="highlighter-rouge">binary_sensor.ffmpeg_xy</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">ffmpeg.xy</code>.</li>
<li>The frontend core changes have caused all custom panels to break. Docs have not been updated yet. The gist is that you have to use <code class="highlighter-rouge">this.hass.entities</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">this.hass.callService</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">this.hass.callApi</code>.</li>
</ul>

<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>Another Saturday, another release!</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="core-updates" href="#core-updates"></a> Core updates</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a>, all the core components are now written asynchronously. All entity components are now migrated from synchronously to asynchronously code!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Now when you restart Home Assistant using the <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant.restart</code> service, your configuration is checked. If it appears to be invalid the restart will fail.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="rewritten-frontend" href="#rewritten-frontend"></a> Rewritten frontend</h3>
<p>The frontend has been completely been rewritten, optimizing for speed and lost connection recovery. Even on the slowest phones it should fly now. The frontend also now uses the new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/websocket_api/">WebSockets API</a> instead of the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/server_sent_events/">EventStream API</a>.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="custom-state-card-ui" href="#custom-state-card-ui"></a> Custom state card UI</h3>
<p>A nice new feature is the possibility to create <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/frontend_creating_custom_ui/">custom state cards</a> in the frontend. Go ahead and write your own state card for <a href="https://home-assistant.io/cookbook/custom_ui_by_andrey-git">lights</a>, sensors, locks, etc.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="mqtt-discovery" href="#mqtt-discovery"></a> MQTT discovery</h3>
<p>MQTT now has <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/mqtt/#discovery">discovery</a> support which is different than our <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/discovery/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">discovery</code></a> component. Similar to the HTTP sensor and HTTP binary sensor, MQTT discovery removes the need for configuration by allowing devices to make their presence known to Home Assistant.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="alert-component" href="#alert-component"></a> Alert component</h3>
<p>If you left your front door open, then the new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/alert/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">alert</code></a> component can be used to remind you of this by sending you repeating notifications at a given interval.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="yeelight" href="#yeelight"></a> Yeelight</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/light.yeelight/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">yeelight</code></a> component has been ported to use a more stable and feature-complete <a href="https://gitlab.com/stavros/python-yeelight">python-yeelight</a> backend, and supports now both white and RGB bulbs. The component also supports transitions and can be configured to save the settings to the bulb on changes. The users currently using custom components for Yeelight are encouraged to move back to use the included version and report any problems with it to our <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues">issue tracker</a>.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="apple-tv" href="#apple-tv"></a> Apple TV</h3>
<p><a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.apple_tv/">Apple TV</a> is now a supported <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">media_player</code></a>! It has support for just about every media player function, including a realtime display of playback status and artwork.</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="breaking-changes" href="#breaking-changes"></a> Breaking changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>The support for <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.webostv/">LG webOS Smart TVs</a> was improved. This requires you to move <code class="highlighter-rouge">$HOME/.pylgtv</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">$HASS_CONFIG_DIR/webostv.conf</code> or Home Assistant will need to be paired with the TV again.</li>
<li>Image processing events have been renamed: <code class="highlighter-rouge">identify_face</code> has become <code class="highlighter-rouge">image_processing.detect_face</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">found_plate</code> has become <code class="highlighter-rouge">image_processing.found_plate</code></li>
<li>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor.ffmpeg/">FFmpeg binary sensor</a> change the platform name from <code class="highlighter-rouge">ffmpeg</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">ffmpeg_noise</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">ffmpeg_motion</code>. Also all FFmpeg-related services are moved from a platform implementation to a the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/ffmpeg/">FFmpeg components</a> and were rename from <code class="highlighter-rouge">binary_sensor.ffmpeg_xy</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">ffmpeg.xy</code>.</li>
<li>The frontend core changes have caused all custom panels to break. Docs have not been updated yet. The gist is that you have to use <code class="highlighter-rouge">this.hass.entities</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">this.hass.callService</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">this.hass.callApi</code>.</li>
</ul>

<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>Here we go… 0.34. Let’s call it the “Santa Claus” release. Rudolph was faster than expected and there’s lot’s of goodies on the sleigh. Of course, more work on async programming done by <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> and <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>, new components, new platforms, major improvements, and much more.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="gpslogger" href="#gpslogger"></a> GPSLogger</h3>
<p>The work of <a href="https://github.com/dainok">@dainok</a> let’s you use your Android device, with the Geolocation feature enabled, to track itself using GPS or WiFi networks with the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mendhak.gpslogger">GPSLogger</a> app. GPSLogger can use multiple sources: the passive one just get the latest Android known location, without activating GPS sensors or scanning for WiFi networks.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="remote-component" href="#remote-component"></a> Remote component</h3>
<p>The brand new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/remote/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">remote</code></a> component made by <a href="https://github.com/iandday">@iandday</a> will simplify the integration of all kinds of remote control units. The first platform for <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/remote.harmony/">Harmony</a> is included in this release.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="homematic" href="#homematic"></a> HomeMatic</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/homematic/">HomeMatic</a> component has received some updates worth mentioning:</p>
<ul>
<li>Additional services
<ul>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">reconnect</code>: Reconnect to your CCU/Homegear without restarting Home Assistant.</li>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">set_dev_value</code>: Manually control a device, even if it’s not supported by Home Assistant yet.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Support for multiple HomeMatic hosts</li>
<li>Support for HomeMatic Wired (most devices) and HomeMatic IP (a few devices)</li>
<li>Various improvements and fixes, especially for HM-Sec-Key (KeyMatic)</li>
</ul>
<p>The support for multiple hosts is a result of allowing mixed configurations with wireless, wired, and IP devices. This has the drawback of making the update a breaking change (along with the renamed <code class="highlighter-rouge">set_value</code> service). However, the benefits and possibilities gained will be worth it.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="websocket-api" href="#websocket-api"></a> Websocket API</h3>
<p>This release includes a new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/websocket_api/">websockets</a> based API by <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a> to power the next generation of Home Assistant frontends. The current frontend has been partly migrated to use it and will be further migrated in the future.</p>

<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>Here we go… 0.34. Let’s call it the “Santa Claus” release. Rudolph was faster than expected and there’s lot’s of goodies on the sleigh. Of course, more work on async programming done by <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> and <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>, new components, new platforms, major improvements, and much more.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="gpslogger" href="#gpslogger"></a> GPSLogger</h3>
<p>The work of <a href="https://github.com/dainok">@dainok</a> let’s you use your Android device, with the Geolocation feature enabled, to track itself using GPS or WiFi networks with the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mendhak.gpslogger">GPSLogger</a> app. GPSLogger can use multiple sources: the passive one just get the latest Android known location, without activating GPS sensors or scanning for WiFi networks.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="remote-component" href="#remote-component"></a> Remote component</h3>
<p>The brand new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/remote/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">remote</code></a> component made by <a href="https://github.com/iandday">@iandday</a> will simplify the integration of all kinds of remote control units. The first platform for <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/remote.harmony/">Harmony</a> is included in this release.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="homematic" href="#homematic"></a> HomeMatic</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/homematic/">HomeMatic</a> component has received some updates worth mentioning:</p>
<ul>
<li>Additional services
<ul>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">reconnect</code>: Reconnect to your CCU/Homegear without restarting Home Assistant.</li>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">set_dev_value</code>: Manually control a device, even if it’s not supported by Home Assistant yet.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Support for multiple HomeMatic hosts</li>
<li>Support for HomeMatic Wired (most devices) and HomeMatic IP (a few devices)</li>
<li>Various improvements and fixes, especially for HM-Sec-Key (KeyMatic)</li>
</ul>
<p>The support for multiple hosts is a result of allowing mixed configurations with wireless, wired, and IP devices. This has the drawback of making the update a breaking change (along with the renamed <code class="highlighter-rouge">set_value</code> service). However, the benefits and possibilities gained will be worth it.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="websocket-api" href="#websocket-api"></a> Websocket API</h3>
<p>This release includes a new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/websocket_api/">websockets</a> based API by <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a> to power the next generation of Home Assistant frontends. The current frontend has been partly migrated to use it and will be further migrated in the future.</p>

<p>The <a href="/components/history/">history component</a> is tracking everything that is going on within Home Assistant. This means that you have access to all stored information about your home. Our history is not a full-fledged graphical processing and visualization component as you may know from systems and network monitoring tools. The current limitation is that you only can select a day for a visual output of your information and not a period. Also, there is no possibility to drill down on a specific entity.</p>
<p>This blog post will show you ways to export data for reporting, visualization, or further analysis of automation rules.</p>

<p>As Home Assistant grew, so did our documentation. <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">Fabian Affolter</a> 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 <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/categories/release-notes/">frequent releases</a>! But despite all the efforts, the documentation outgrew our existing documentation organisation.</p>
<p>Today it has been almost 1.5 years since we started the website. We now have <a href="/components/">264 components and platforms</a> under our belt and have been honored with 1.5 million page views ✨. And hopefully we now also have documentation that our community deserves.</p>
<p>Finally, if you see some content that could use more clarifcation or is outdated, don’t hesitate to use the ‘Edit in GitHub’ link that is present on each page.</p>

<p>Another awesome release ready to hit your homes. YAML can be hard for beginners and more experienced automators. So to help catch those pesky errors that sneak into your files we’ve been hard at work to introduce config validation! Especially huge thanks to <a href="https://github.com/jaharkes/">@jaharkes</a> for his hard work on this. Config validation is still in it’s early stages. More common platforms and components have been added but we didn’t do everything yet.</p>
<p>When we encounter an invalid config we will now write a warning to your logs. You can see those in the frontend by clicking on the last developer tool. We’re looking into options to make it more clear - it is a work in progress.</p>
<p>Another big thing is the addition of GTFS support. You probably don’t know it, but GTFS is the standard that public transit companies all over the world use to distribute their schedule. This means that you can now have the time of the next bus/train/etc right in your frontend.</p>

<h3>Breaking changes</h3>
<p>As of now we are not aware of any breaking changes. However, it might be that Home Assistant will not start for you because of an invalid configuration. A common mistake that people are making is that they are still referring to <code class="highlighter-rouge">execute_service</code> in their script configs. This should be <code class="highlighter-rouge">service</code>.</p>
