<p>It’s time for release 0.21 and it contains massive core improvements: replacement of our home grown HTTP stack with a standardized WSGI stack. This will improve performance, speed, security and make future development of advanced HTTP features a breeze.</p>
<p>This work was driven by the amazing Josh Wright. His knowledge, high standards and drive for security has helped improve Home Assistant a lot ever since he started helping out. Hip hip hurray for Josh!</p>
<p>Alright, time for the changes:</p>

<p>It’s time for 0.18. This release cycle is 2 days shorter than usual as I’ll be travelling to Europe. This also means that it can take some more time before you get feedback on PRs.</p>
<p>Since the last release we have moved all Home Assistant source code etc into it’s own <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant">organisation on GitHub</a>. We’re growing up! This sadly did cause us to have to move all Docker images. Check the breaking changes section for more info.</p>

<h3>Breaking changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>We have migrated our datetime format to be iso8601. This will only impact you if you are consuming the date times from the API directly. You can ignore this if you are just using Home Assistant via configuration and the frontend.</li>
<li>The constant <code>TEMP_CELCIUS</code> is now correctly called <code>TEMP_CELSIUS</code>. Old one is deprecated and will eventually be removed.</li>
<li>The location of the Docker image has changed. There was no possibility for us to keep maintaining the old image (as it was bound to the GitHub repo under my name) or to make a redirect. So if you are using the Home Assistant Docker image, change it to run <code>homeassistant/home-assistant:latest</code> for the latest release and <code>homeassistant/home-assistant:dev</code> for the latest dev version.</li>
<li>MySensors received two big changes that will cause you to update your configs. See <a href="/components/mysensors/">component page</a> for new example config.
<ol>
<li>All MySensors entity IDs are different! There was an error in the naming that caused MySensors to append node ID and child ID instead of separating them with an underscore. This has been fixed but will cause all your MySensors entity IDs to change. This is a one time breaking change.</li>
<li>The second change is that we now support the TCP ethernet gateway. This is causing a slight change to the config format: you have to change <code>port:</code> under <code>gateways</code> to <code>device:</code>.</li>
</ol>

<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>Would you like to listen to music in every room in your home, controlled from one source? Then multi-room audio is for you.</p>
<p>Multi-room audio can be achieved by having a computer attached to speakers in every room. On each computer, services run to play and/or control the audio. With this DIY approach, the kind of computer and speakers is very much up to you. It could be your desktop computer with attached powered speakers, your HTPC hooked up to your TV and receiver, a Raspberry Pi with Amp or DAC, or even an Android device.</p>
<p>You’ll need two key software packages, besides Home Assistant. The first is <a href="https://www.mopidy.com/">Mopidy</a>, a music server that can play local files, or connect to streaming music services like Spotify. The second is <a href="https://github.com/badaix/snapcast/">Snapcast</a>, which enables synchronized audio streaming across your network. Both can be integrated into Home Assistant. Each room audio device will run an instance of the Snapcast client, and optionally a Mopidy instance. Your server will run a special instance of Mopidy and the Snapcast server.</p>
<p>Finally, you also need a player to control Mopidy. Any MPD-compatible player will work, and there are several <a href="https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/ext/web/#ext-web">Mopidy-only web-based options</a> available. On Android, <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.anil.remotedy">Remotedy</a> is particularly nice since you can access multiple Mopidy instances in one place.</p>
<p>Home Assistant will provide device status, and volume control for each room. If you want to play music in all your rooms (on all your clients), access the server instance of Mopidy. If you want to play music only in a specific room, access that specific Mopidy instance. If you’re using a web UI for Mopidy, you can add links to each instance in Home Assistant with the <a href="/components/weblink/">weblink</a> component.</p>

<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>Would you like to listen to music in every room in your home, controlled from one source? Then multi-room audio is for you.</p>
<p>Multi-room audio can be achieved by having a computer attached to speakers in every room. On each computer, services run to play and/or control the audio. With this DIY approach, the kind of computer and speakers is very much up to you. It could be your desktop computer with attached powered speakers, your HTPC hooked up to your TV and receiver, a Raspberry Pi with Amp or DAC, or even an Android device.</p>
<p>You’ll need two key software packages, besides Home Assistant. The first is <a href="https://www.mopidy.com/">Mopidy</a>, a music server that can play local files, or connect to streaming music services like Spotify. The second is <a href="https://github.com/badaix/snapcast/">Snapcast</a>, which enables synchronized audio streaming across your network. Both can be integrated into Home Assistant. Each room audio device will run an instance of the Snapcast client, and optionally a Mopidy instance. Your server will run a special instance of Mopidy and the Snapcast server.</p>
<p>Finally, you also need a player to control Mopidy. Any MPD-compatible player will work, and there are several <a href="https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/ext/web/#ext-web">Mopidy-only web-based options</a> available. On Android, <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.anil.remotedy">Remotedy</a> is particularly nice since you can access multiple Mopidy instances in one place.</p>
<p>Home Assistant will provide device status, and volume control for each room. If you want to play music in all your rooms (on all your clients), access the server instance of Mopidy. If you want to play music only in a specific room, access that specific Mopidy instance. If you’re using a web UI for Mopidy, you can add links to each instance in Home Assistant with the <a href="/components/weblink/">weblink</a> component.</p>

In this tutorial I will explain how you can activate Tasker tasks from Home Assistant command line switches. We are going to set up a switch that when toggled will make your Android device say either “On” or “Off”.</p>
<p>You could also do this with the automation component instead so whenever you put your house to sleep mode for example your Android device will open up Google Play Books or the Kindle app ready for you to read as well as dimming your lights, but this tutorial is all about the switches.</p>
