https://home-assistant.io/ @@ -13,6 +13,24 @@ Octopress + + <![CDATA[ZWave Entity IDs]]> + + 2017-06-15T12:00:00+00:00 + https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/06/15/zwave-entity-ids + ZWave entity_ids have long been a source of frustration in Home Assistant. The first problem we faced was that depending on the order of node discovery, entity_ids could be discovered with different names on each run. To solve this we added the node id as a suffix to the entity_id. This ensured that entity_ids were generated deterministically on each run, but additional suffixes had to be added to handle edge cases where there would otherwise be a conflict. The resulting entity_ids worked, but have been difficult to work with and makes ZWave a strange exception among other Home Assistant components.

+ +

Thanks to the awesome work of @turbokongen, a growing number of ZWave configuration options are now available from the new ZWave panel in the Home Assistant frontend. Among these new features is support for renaming of ZWave nodes and their underlying values. (These renames are persisted in zwcfg_*.xml) This is important, because these items are combined to form the Home Assistant entity name, which is used to generate the entity_id. Now that these options are available, ZWave users can rename nodes and values, influencing the entity_ids that are generated by Home Assistant.

+ +

Now that users are able to control these names, we will be making changes to how the entity_ids are generated for ZWave entities. The ZWave entity_ids are going to switch back to using the standard entity_id generation from Home Assistant core, based on the entity names. Moving forward, if there is a conflict when generating entity_ids, a suffix will be added, and it will be the responsibility of the user to rename their nodes and values to avoid the conflict. This is the same as any other platform in Home Assistant where two devices are discovered with the same name.

+ +

With the release of 0.47, this feature will be opt-in. Setting new_entity_ids: true under zwave: in your configuration.yaml will enable the new generation. After 0.48 this feature will become opt-out. From 0.48 onward, unless you’ve declared new_entity_ids: false you will switch to the new entity_id generation. At an undecided point in the future, the old entity_id generation will be removed completely.

+ +

I’m sure all ZWave users understand that the current entity_ids aren’t easy to use. They’re annoying to type in configuration.yaml, and break if a node needs to be re-included to the network. We know that breaking changes are painful, and so we’re doing what we can to roll this change out as smoothly as possible. The end result should be a dramatic simplification of most ZWave configurations. We hope that this change will ultimately make ZWave much easier to work with, and bring ZWave configuration just a little closer to the rest of the Home Assistant platforms.

There was a lot going on in the last two weeks. Not only from the code side but also from the social one of Home Assistant. Paulus did an interview with OpenSourceCraft, Fabian did a workshop at the Chemnitzer Linux Tage, and we are now an award-winning Open source project (I will cover that in a separate blog post).

Plex

-

@JesseWebDotCom made massive changes to the Plex media player platform. From better metadata support over new configuration options to improved controls and non-controllable clients.

ZWave Entity IDs

ZWave entity_ids have long been a source of frustration in Home Assistant. The first problem we faced was that depending on the order of node discovery, entity_ids could be discovered with different names on each run. To solve this we added the node id as a suffix to the entity_id. This ensured that entity_ids were generated deterministically on each run, but additional suffixes had to be added to handle edge cases where there would otherwise be a conflict. The resulting entity_ids worked, but have been difficult to work with and makes ZWave a strange exception among other Home Assistant components.

+

Thanks to the awesome work of @turbokongen, a growing number of ZWave configuration options are now available from the new ZWave panel in the Home Assistant frontend. Among these new features is support for renaming of ZWave nodes and their underlying values. (These renames are persisted in zwcfg_*.xml) This is important, because these items are combined to form the Home Assistant entity name, which is used to generate the entity_id. Now that these options are available, ZWave users can rename nodes and values, influencing the entity_ids that are generated by Home Assistant.

+

Now that users are able to control these names, we will be making changes to how the entity_ids are generated for ZWave entities. The ZWave entity_ids are going to switch back to using the standard entity_id generation from Home Assistant core, based on the entity names. Moving forward, if there is a conflict when generating entity_ids, a suffix will be added, and it will be the responsibility of the user to rename their nodes and values to avoid the conflict. This is the same as any other platform in Home Assistant where two devices are discovered with the same name.

+

With the release of 0.47, this feature will be opt-in. Setting new_entity_ids: true under zwave: in your configuration.yaml will enable the new generation. After 0.48 this feature will become opt-out. From 0.48 onward, unless you’ve declared new_entity_ids: false you will switch to the new entity_id generation. At an undecided point in the future, the old entity_id generation will be removed completely.

+

I’m sure all ZWave users understand that the current entity_ids aren’t easy to use. They’re annoying to type in configuration.yaml, and break if a node needs to be re-included to the network. We know that breaking changes are painful, and so we’re doing what we can to roll this change out as smoothly as possible. The end result should be a dramatic simplification of most ZWave configurations. We hope that this change will ultimately make ZWave much easier to work with, and bring ZWave configuration just a little closer to the rest of the Home Assistant platforms.

The developer tools in every browser have seen a lot of improvements recently and each improvement helps support for web components. - -Another major benefit of Polymer for Home Assistant is that we get [material design for free]. The material design components that come with Polymer have a very high quality. Google is using these components themselves and make sure that performance and accessibility using screen readers/keyboards are great. As an open source project, the more we can outsource, the better - so our contributors can focus on the core product: home automation. - -What about Flux, data management and interaction between components? It's actually pretty similar to React or any other component based framework. Flux-like architectures work with Polymer just like with React: whenever data changes it will update the attributes of a component which will propagate to the children. For Home Assistant we use [NuclearJS] with our [own Polymer bindings]. For data moving from child to parent the Polymer pattern is using DOM events instead of callbacks but the end result is the same. It is so similar in fact, that it took me only two hours to make a [React Native frontend for on top of our core][ha-rn]. - -So what about Babel and ES2015? Also this is covered. Each web component exists of a HTML template and a JavaScript class to back it. Think of the HTML template as the render method in React. In Home Assistant we have the HTML templates import one another and have a separate chain for the JavaScript classes backing each component. This allows us to use Babel and NPM modules for the JavaScript part ([more info here][tools-js]). This does however come with the downside of other JS based frameworks: the browser blocks any painting while the JavaScript is being parsed instead of upgrading the website incrementally. This, however, is something we take for granted right now and hope that module bundlers will be able to solve this for us eventually. Tree shaking is a very promising improvement in this space. - -Most of this blog post has been comparing Polymer to React. In many ways Polymer is similar to React but it is not as far evolved yet. I like React but I do not see it as a technology that will be around forever. Given the trend of previous popular JS frameworks, React will probably get replaced by another framework that works even better. Web components however will be here forever as they are part of the HTML standard. And this gives us peace of mind at the virtual Home Assistant headquarters: we do not have to be afraid of having to rewrite our frontend just to stay relevant or because people don't want to include another dependency just to run this legacy piece. - -So there it is, the reason why we use Polymer. - -[web components]: https://www.w3.org/standards/techs/components#w3c_all -[CSS variables]: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-variables/ -[React Dev Tools]: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi?hl=en -[NuclearJS]: https://optimizely.github.io/nuclear-js/ -[own Polymer bindings]: http://paulusschoutsen.nl/blog/2015/07/using-polymer-with-flux-and-a-global-app-state/ -[ha-rn]: https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant-react-native-ios -[tools-js]: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer#building-the-app -[material design for free]: https://elements.polymer-project.org/browse?package=paper-elements -[demo]: https://home-assistant.io/demo - -]]> - - diff --git a/blog/categories/technology/index.html b/blog/categories/technology/index.html index 9cf3e2b5f9..bd330d9098 100644 --- a/blog/categories/technology/index.html +++ b/blog/categories/technology/index.html @@ -71,6 +71,27 @@

+ ZWave Entity IDs +

+

ZWave entity_ids have long been a source of frustration in Home Assistant. The first problem we faced was that depending on the order of node discovery, entity_ids could be discovered with different names on each run. To solve this we added the node id as a suffix to the entity_id. This ensured that entity_ids were generated deterministically on each run, but additional suffixes had to be added to handle edge cases where there would otherwise be a conflict. The resulting entity_ids worked, but have been difficult to work with and makes ZWave a strange exception among other Home Assistant components.

+

Thanks to the awesome work of @turbokongen, a growing number of ZWave configuration options are now available from the new ZWave panel in the Home Assistant frontend. Among these new features is support for renaming of ZWave nodes and their underlying values. (These renames are persisted in zwcfg_*.xml) This is important, because these items are combined to form the Home Assistant entity name, which is used to generate the entity_id. Now that these options are available, ZWave users can rename nodes and values, influencing the entity_ids that are generated by Home Assistant.

+

Now that users are able to control these names, we will be making changes to how the entity_ids are generated for ZWave entities. The ZWave entity_ids are going to switch back to using the standard entity_id generation from Home Assistant core, based on the entity names. Moving forward, if there is a conflict when generating entity_ids, a suffix will be added, and it will be the responsibility of the user to rename their nodes and values to avoid the conflict. This is the same as any other platform in Home Assistant where two devices are discovered with the same name.

+

With the release of 0.47, this feature will be opt-in. Setting new_entity_ids: true under zwave: in your configuration.yaml will enable the new generation. After 0.48 this feature will become opt-out. From 0.48 onward, unless you’ve declared new_entity_ids: false you will switch to the new entity_id generation. At an undecided point in the future, the old entity_id generation will be removed completely.

+

I’m sure all ZWave users understand that the current entity_ids aren’t easy to use. They’re annoying to type in configuration.yaml, and break if a node needs to be re-included to the network. We know that breaking changes are painful, and so we’re doing what we can to roll this change out as smoothly as possible. The end result should be a dramatic simplification of most ZWave configurations. We hope that this change will ultimately make ZWave much easier to work with, and bring ZWave configuration just a little closer to the rest of the Home Assistant platforms.

Saw the announcement yesterday for HASSbian 1.21 and got super excited?

-

Today we’ll flash the latest HASSbian to a Raspbery Pi Zero W. -With an added bonus that besides for an USB cable for power, there’s no need for any cables!

-

What you’ll need:

-
    -
  • a Raspberry Pi Zero W (an amazing tiny computer with built-in wifi)
  • -
  • a microSD card
  • -
  • some source of USB power
  • -
  • Wifi
  • -
  • a desktop or laptop
  • -
-

Let’s get to it!

-

First, download the HASSbian 1.21 image from here.

-

Unzip it.

-

Flash it to the microSD card. If you need a flash tool, try Etcher

-

When the flashing finishes, remove it and plug it back in. You should see a drive called “boot”.

-

Right in there, not in any folders, create a file called wpa_supplicant.conf.

-

The contents of the configuration file should be something like this: -(You may have to adjust for your configuration, hints here )

-
network={
-    ssid="YOUR_WIFI_NETWORK_NAME_HERE"
-    psk="YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD_HERE"
-    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
-}
-
-
-

Next stick your SD card into the Raspberry Pi Zero W, and plug it in.

-

After about a minute, use your SSH client to connect to HASSbian (or hassbian.local from a Mac), with the username pi. The default password is raspberry.

-

It’s a good idea to change the password. To do so, use the passwd command.

-

Next, type the following two commands into the SSH console:

-
$ sudo systemctl enable install_homeassistant.service
-$ sudo systemctl start install_homeassistant.service
-
-
-

Wait about 15-20 minutes and voilà you have your Home Assistant on your Raspberry Pi Zero W in 30 minutes.

-

To try it out, go to http://hassbian:8123 or http://hassbian.local:8123 if you’re using Mac.

-

For further details about HASSbian, take a look at the documentation.

After two weeks of hard work I’m proud to announce the release of Home Assistant v0.7.6. For this release the main focus was bugs, test coverage and documentation. And we exceeded expectations on all three fronts. Bugs have been squashed, test coverage increased to 85% and thanks to the hard work by @fabaff and myself the component section on the website has gotten a complete revamp.
