<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p><em>This post is by Home Assistant contributor <a href="https://github.com/pavoni">Greg Dowling</a>.</em></p>
<p>In 2013 Apple introduced iBeacons: a class of Bluetooth low energy (LE) devices that broadcast their identifier to nearby devices, including most smartphones. At first glance it’s hard to imagine why they might be useful. In this two part blog I’ll try and explain why they are useful and how you can use them with Home Assistant.</p>
<p>The reason I started using iBeacons was to improve presence detection (and I think that’s the case with most people) so that’s what I’ll discuss in <em>part 1</em>. In <em>part 2</em> I’ll talk about using iBeacons to track devices that can’t track themselves.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="using-beacons-to-improve-owntracks-location-data" href="#using-beacons-to-improve-owntracks-location-data"></a> Using beacons to improve OwnTracks location data</h3>
<p>When you use OwnTracks in standard <em>major move</em> mode (which is kind to your phone battery) it sometimes fails to update when you’d like it to. In my case I found that it would often send a location update as I was on my way home, but then not update when I got home. The result would be that Home Assistant would think I was 500M away from home, and take quite a while to notice I was home. It would also mean that the automation that should turn on my lights when I got home didn’t work very well! There were a few times when my phone location updated at 2am and turned the lights on for me. Fortunately my wife is very patient!</p>
<p>Luckily, OwnTracks supports iBeacons so I could use them to make presence detection more reliable. When OwnTracks sees a beacon it recognises, it will send an update. This means that if you put a beacon at your front door - OwnTracks will see it within a few seconds of you arriving home - and send an update saying it has seen this iBeacon.</p>

<p>Haaska allows you to control lights, switches, and scenes exposed by your Home Assistant instance using an Amazon Echo. This is different from our own <a href="/components/alexa/">Alexa</a> component because it will teach the Amazon Echo directly about the devices instead of teaching it to talk to Home Assistant. It will not allow you to use custom sentences but it will allow you to skip the ‘Ask Home Assistant’ part when giving commands:</p>
<ul>
<li>“Alexa, set kitchen to twenty percent”</li>
<li>“Alexa, turn on evening scene”</li>
<li>“Alexa, turn off bedroom light”</li>

<p>Wow, almost a month has gone by since the last release and this release is <em>packed</em>. The biggest part of this release is probably one that you won’t notice: the frontend has been upgraded from Polymer 0.5 to the brand new released Polymer 1.0. Polymer has been declared stable by the Google overlords which will allow us to expand functionality that was waiting for this moment to arrive.</p>
<p>This release sets a record for the amount of people involved: 8! <a href="https://github.com/Andythigpen">Andythigpen</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Jamespcole">Jamespcole</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Azelphur">Azelphur</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Fabaff">Fabaff</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Dutchy-">Dutchy-</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Fbradyirl">Fbradyirl</a>, <a href="https://github.com/wind-rider">wind-rider</a> and <a href="https://github.com/ettisan">ettisan</a>, thanks a lot for your contributions!</p>
<p>A big improvement has been brought this release by wind-rider. He took the time to revive the Chromecast support and started improving the media player integration. This triggered other people to join in resulting in a revamped media player experience and support for the Music Player Daemon.</p>

<p>I have just merged the latest version of the development branch into master. Here are some of the highlights of this release:</p>
<p><strong>Configuration via the frontend</strong><br /><br />
Phliips Hue will now be auto discovered and uses the new <code>configurator</code> component to interact with the user to finish the setup process.</p>
<p><strong>Wink Hub support</strong><br /><br />
Thanks to the work done by John McLaughlin and Geoff Norton we now support the lights, switches and sensors that are connected to the Wink hub.</p>
<p><strong>The getting started guide and component page have been reorganized</strong><br /><br />
The getting started instructions have been split into separate pages per component and a general overview page. The goal is to have a page per component that describes:</p>
<ul>
<li>What it does</li>
<li>How to set it up</li>
<li>Which states it maintains</li>
<li>Which services it provides</li>
<li>Additional development tips</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>More reasonable errors</strong><br /><br />
Home Assistant should now throw better errors and offer solutions if you do not have the right version of Python 3, forgot to clone the git submodules or install the dependencies.</p>
<p><strong>Streamlined first launch</strong><br /><br />
Home Assistant now supports <code>--open-ui</code> and <code>--demo-mode</code> command line properties to open the browser automatically and have something to show. Home Assistant now supports to be run without a password, allowing the interface to login automatically on launch.</p>
