The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQTT">MQTT</a> support was added to Home Assistant recently. The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/mqtt.html">MQTT component</a> will enable you to do all sort of things. Most likely you will use it to communicate with your devices. But Home Assistant doesn&rsquo;t care where the data is coming from or is limited to real hardware as long as there is MQTT support. This means that it doesn&rsquo;t matter if the data is coming from a human, a web service, or a device.</p>
<p>A great example is shown in a <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2015/08/26/laundry-automation-with-moteino-mqtt-and-home-assistant/">Laundry Automation</a> post in this blog.</p>
<p>This post will give you a small overview of some other possibilities on how to use MQTT with Home Assistant.</p>

<p>A new version of Home Assistant has just been pushed out. It contains bugfixes contributed by <a href="https://github.com/jamespcole">jamespcole</a>, <a href="https://github.com/andythigpen">andythigpen</a>, <a href="https://github.com/trainman419">trainman419</a> and <a href="https://github.com/balloob">me</a>. It also adds a bunch of great new features:</p>
<p><strong>Script</strong><br>
Andythigpen has contributed a script component. This allows users to create a sequence of service calls and delays. Scripts can be started using the service <code>script/turn_on</code> and interrupted using the service <code>script/turn_off</code>. A separate page has been added to the frontend to see the status of your scripts.</p>
