<p><img src="/images/screenshots/custom-icons.png" style="float: right;" />We have all been hard at work to get this latest release ready. One of the big highlights in this release is the introduction of an extended iconset to be used in the frontend (credits to <a href="https://github.com/happyleavesaoc">@happyleavesaoc</a> for idea and prototype). To get started with customizing, pick any icon from <a href="https://MaterialDesignIcons.com">MaterialDesignIcons.com</a>, prefix the name with <code class="highlighter-rouge">mdi:</code> and stick it into your <code class="highlighter-rouge">customize</code> section in <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">homeassistant</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">customize</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">switch.ac</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">icon</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s1">'</span><span class="s">mdi:air-conditioner'</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<h4>Breaking changes</h4>
<ul>
<li>Any existing zone icon will have to be replaced with one from <a href="https://MaterialDesignIcons.com">MaterialDesignIcons.com</a>.</li>
<li>LimitlessLED light services require colors to be specified in RGB instead of XY.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>This is a guest post by Home Assistant user and contributor <a href="https://github.com/nkgilley">Nolan Gilley</a>.</em></p>
<p>In our house, laundry has been a struggle for quite some time. Our washer and dryer both lack a buzzer which leads to forgotten laundry, and stinky mess that needs to be rewashed. I decided to create a solution by monitoring the washer and dryer myself with some cheap electronics.</p>
<p>As an avid user of Home Assistant, I decided it would be the perfect application to manage the UI and notification system. Now all I needed was a way to monitor the washer and dryer. I tried using sound sensors but found them unreliable. I ended up opting for an accelerometer attached to the back of each appliance. I also added magnetic reed switches on the doors of the washer and dryer to detect if the doors are open or closed. I connected the accelerometers and reed switches to a <a href="https://lowpowerlab.com/moteino/">Moteino</a>, an arduino clone with an RF transceiver. The Moteino can perform the logic to figure out which state the appliances are in and wirelessly communicate that data with another Moteino that is connected via serial to my Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi reads the serial data and repeats it over MQTT for Home Assistant to use. This is great because I dont have to run Home Assistant on the Raspberry Pi. I can run it on a faster machine and point the <a href="/components/mqtt/">MQTT component</a> to my Raspberry Pi.</p>
<p>After taking some sample data from the accelerometers while each appliance was in operation, I decided to plot the data to help determine the proper thresholds of when the devices were running or off. I had to do this in order to get precise ranges so the dryer sensor wouldnt get tripped by the washer or vice versa. In the plot below you can see the acceleration in the x direction for the accelerometer connected to the washing machine. Its easy to see when the washing machine is in operation here. I used the same technique for the dryers accelerometer.</p>
