+
+
+  <p>The internet has been buzzing over the last year about home automation. A lot of different terms fly around like the internet of things, home automation and the smart home.
+This article will try to explain how they all relate.</p>
+
+<p>The first thing to introduce is the <strong>Internet of Things</strong> (IoT). This refers to a new generation of devices that cannot only be controlled by humans via buttons or remotes but also provide an interface to communicate with other devices and applications. For example, an IoT-capable coffee machine could receive commands to create different types of coffee and be able to broadcast the amount of water left in its resevoir.</p>
+
+<p>There is no widely adopted open standard for smart device communication. This prevents a lot of devices to communicate with one another. And even if they could, most devices are not designed to manage other devices. To solve this we need a device to be able to communicate with and manage all these connected devices. This device is called a <strong>hub</strong>.</p>
+
+<p>As a bare minimum a hub has to keep track of the state of each device and should be able to control them if possible. For example, it has to know which lights are on or off and offer a way to control the lights. For a sensor it only has to know the value. A hub with these capabilities offers <strong>home control</strong>.</p>

+  Example of a hub’s dashboard. Showing the state of 2 persons, 4 lights and the sun.
+</p>
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+<p>A step up from home control is to have the user setup triggers to send commands based on information in the home control layer. For example, to turn on the lights when a person arrives home. A hub with these capabilities is capable of <strong>home automation</strong>.</p>
+
+<p>Most hubs on the market today offer this in various degrees of functionality and usability. Some IoT-capable devices offer this too, but only control themselves and are usually limited to location and time-based events.</p>
+
+<p>The last category, and this is still very much in the future, is the <strong>smart home</strong>. A self-learning and adopting system that will decide which events should impact other devices.</p>
+
+<p>An example of a smart home in action is that it observes that when person A comes home, the lights in the living room and the kitchen switch on. While if person B comes home, the lights in the living room and the study room are switched on. The next time person A or B comes home, the smart home will turn on its preferred lights without any configuration being set by the user.</p>
+
+<p>A glimpse today at how the future can look is the <a href="https://nest.com/">Nest thermostat</a>. A thermostat smart enough to learn your schedule and adjust its own temperature accordingly.</p>
+
+<p>All this results in the following overview of Home Automation.</p>

+  Overview of the home automation landscape.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Challenges</h3>
+
+<p>You are probably wondering, this all seems relatively simple, why don’t I have my very own smart home yet? There are a couple of challenges today that keep us from stepping into the future.</p>
+
+<h4>More Internet of Things-capable devices</h4>
+
+<p>The majority of the IoT products out there are either lights, switches or presence detection. That’s not enough for your home to be very smart about. We need televisions, fridges, ovens and more to join the party to increase the number of devices that we can control.</p>
+
+<h4>More data</h4>
+
+<p>Most first generation IoT devices are only exposing information that is needed for controlling it. We need to be able to track all interactions with each device for our smart home to learn how interaction with devices influence other things. For example, we need to be able to track how many cups of coffee were made or how often the fridge was open. This will increase the information flow and open up a whole bunch of new possibilities. For example, the smart home can order new coffee when you’re running low.</p>
+
+<h4>Easy to use, open software that we can trust</h4>
+
+<p>To increase adoption we will need people to trust their smart home system. It will be very tough to convince people to upgrade all their devices and upload all interactions with each of them to the cloud. This data could reveal their whole life including all bad habits. That’s why such a system should be simple and open-source so people can validate that their data generated at home stays home.</p>
+
+<p>Anoter important booster for adoption is that the software should be easy to set up and use by the average user. A lot of people are not burning their hands yet on Home Automation because they are scared of configurating it.</p>
+
+<p>Home Assistant is trying to be this software. It is not there yet but trying hard. Device discovery and a user interface for configuring home automation are problems we hope to tackle in 2015 while not sacrificing any modularity or usability.</p>
+
+<p>Happy new year!</p>

+
+  <p>One of the things that was missing in Home Assistant for a while was a way to communicate with users. Wouldn’t it be nice to get a message when important events happen like the lights being turned on while no one is home? Since the Home Assistant frontend runs as a web application on the phone, we have no way to bring ourselves to the front. This is where the new notify component comes in, powered by PushBullet.</p>
+
+<p>The new notify component will take in messages and tells them to the user. For now this will be powered by the very awesome <a href="https://www.pushbullet.com/">PushBullet</a> but any other messaging platform can be easily added.</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+  <img src="/images/screenshots/pushbullet_moto360.png" />
+  A message triggered by the simple_alarm component is shown by PushBullet on the Moto360.
+</p>
+
+<p>Read on to learn how to enable the notify component and integrate it with other components.</p>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<h3>Enabling the notify component</h3>
+
+<p>To enable the new notify component, add the following to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">home-assistant.conf</code>:</p>
+
+<div class="language-conf highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>[<span class="n">notify</span>]
+<span class="n">platform</span>=<span class="n">pushbullet</span>
+<span class="n">api_key</span>=<span class="n">ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>You can get your api key from <a href="https://www.pushbullet.com/account">your account page on PushBullet.com</a>.</p>
+
+<h3>Sending messages from your component</h3>
+
+<p>To be able to send messages, the notify component has to be loaded and initialized successfully.</p>
+
+<div class="language-python highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">homeassistant.loader</span> <span class="kn">as</span> <span class="nn">loader</span>
+
+<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">setup</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">hass</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">config</span><span class="p">):</span>

+
+  <p>Most people do not like configuring things. Things just have to work, out of the box. Reaching this scenario is the goal of what we are about to introduce: our new discovery component.</p>
+
+<p>The discovery component will scan the WiFi network from time to time for connected zeroconf/mDNS and uPnP devices. The intial introduction is mainly focussed on getting the right architecture in place and discovers Belkin WeMo switches and Google Chromecasts connected to your network. When found, it will load and notify the appropritate component and it will be ready to use within seconds.</p>
+
+<p>Most devices still require some sort of interaction from the user after being discovered - be it a button being pressed or some sort of authentication. This is a challenge that will be solved in the future.</p>
+
+<p>To enable the discovery component, add the following to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">home-assistant.conf</code>:</p>
+
+<div class="language-conf highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>[<span class="n">discovery</span>]
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>A new <a href="/developers/add_new_platform/#discovery">discovery section</a> has been added to the Adding a new platform page with instructions how to make your platform discoverable.</p>

+
+  <p>For thet majority of its existence, Home Assistant primary focus was on presence detection, lights and switches. But not anymore as we’re expanding the supported devices. Today, we’re proud to introduce Nest Thermostat integration for Home Assistant contributed by <a href="https://github.com/sfiorini">Stefano Fiorini</a>!</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+  <img src="/images/screenshots/nest-thermostat-card.png" />
+</p>
+
+<p>The new integration exists out of two parts: a generic thermostat component and a Nest platform implementation. The initial version implements provides a read-only card and services to control it. The plan is in the future to add temperature and away mode controls from the thermostat card and more info dialog. Internally, we are using the Python package <a href="https://github.com/jkoelker/python-nest">python-nest by jkoelker</a> to talk to the Nest.</p>
+
+<p>If you own a Nest thermostat, add the following lines to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">home-assistant.conf</code>:</p>
+
+<div class="language-conf highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>[<span class="n">thermostat</span>]
+<span class="n">platform</span>=<span class="n">nest</span>
+<span class="n">username</span>=<span class="n">YOUR_USERNAME</span>

+
+  <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 />
+Phliips Hue will now be auto discovered and uses the new <code class="highlighter-rouge">configurator</code> component to interact with the user to finish the setup process.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Wink Hub support</strong><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 />
+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 />
+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 />
+Home Assistant now supports <code class="highlighter-rouge">--open-ui</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">--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>

+
+  <p>Ever since the launch of Home Assistant you have been able to track the state of your house. But the view has always been limited to what the current state is. Not what it was. Today we are going to change that by introducing two brand new components:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Recorder component that will record every event to a SQLite database</li>
+  <li>History component that will query and aggregate the recorded events</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>By adding this view into the past, we are adding an extra dimension into the state of your house. This brings great new possibilities for future features. The focus of todays release is on getting the recording component to you to start recording and getting some data. To show what is being recorded a view has been added that shows the last 24 hours of your house. Expect more extensive tools to explore your history in the future.</p>
+
+<p>Adding history to the UI was a challenge on itself because the old UI did not support easy navigation. So to add to the awesomeness of this release, Home Assistant also got a face lift.</p>
+
+<p>The history component will be enabled for new users by default. For current users, run <code class="highlighter-rouge">scripts/update</code> to upgrade to the latest version and add <code class="highlighter-rouge">[history]</code> to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">home-assistant.conf</code> file.</p>

+<p class="img">

+    <img src="/images/screenshots/component_history_24h.png" />
+  </a>
+</p>
+
+<p class="note">
+Events are saved in a local database. Google Graphs is used to draw the graph. Drawing is happening 100% in your browser - no data is transfered to anyone at any time.
+</p>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<p>Tracking history is an exciting next step for Home Assistant and will power the next generation of features. Here a list of some of the cool things that can now be build:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Time Machine: explore the state of your house at any point in the past</li>
+  <li>Smart Home: analyze behavior and use it to automate your house</li>
+  <li>Summarize usage of the different components of your house</li>

+
+  <p>Home Assistant has learned a new trick to get the latest information from the server: streaming updates. No longer will the frontend poll every 30 seconds for updates but instead it will keep a connection open and get the latest changes pushed as soon as they happen.</p>
+
+<p>A new toggle has been added ot the sidebar to turn streaming updates on and off. This preference will be saved on a per-browser basis using local storage. The toggle will also indicate when there is an error setting up a stream after which it will fall back to use polling.</p>
+
+<p class="img"><img src="/images/screenshots/streaming-updates.png" /></p>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<p>Streaming updates has been implemented using the HTML5 <code class="highlighter-rouge">EventSource</code> tag. Implementation is pretty straight forward as all the reconnection logic will be handled by the event source tag. The <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/master/homeassistant/components/api.py#L90">server-side code</a> is 50 lines and the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-js/blob/master/src/actions/stream.js">client-side code</a> is 80 lines of code.</p>
+
+<p>All events that happen on the server will now also be sent to the browser. This turns any browser running the UI into a fully functioning <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/architecture/#multiple-connected-instances">slave instance</a> of Home Assistant. This opens up new possibilities for Home Assistant components that live completely client-side.</p>
+
+<p>Implementing EventSource was not without challenges. Here are some of the issues that had to be solved:</p>
+
+<p>A connection can go stale in Chrome without any event handler being called. This happens when a device goes into standby. For computers this is rare but for phones this occurs quite often. This has been solved by sending a regular ping from the server. The frontend will assume the connection has gone stale when it hasn’t heard any communication for a while. Sending a ping will also help the server detect broken connections and clean them up.</p>
+
+<p>Another issue that I encountered is that Safari and Firefox would not fire the <code class="highlighter-rouge">open</code> event when the connection has been opened but when the first message has been received. To work around this the server will now fire a ping when the connection gets opened.</p>

+
+  <p>Home Assistant is now using <a href="http://yaml.org/">YAML</a> for it’s configuration file. YAML allows the use of lists, which should make the configuration file a bit more flexible and useful. The new configuration file format is backwards compatible with existing components. Because of this, there is no need for component developers to update their components.</p>
+
+<p>The new file is named configuration.yaml and if it can’t be found in your config directory, Home Assistant will instead try to find the old configuration file, home-assistant.conf.</p>
+
+<p>The home-assistant.conf.example has been replaced with an updated <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/config/configuration.yaml.example">configuration.yaml.example</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Users of Home Assistant should migrate as the old configuration format is deprecated.</p>

+
+  <p>It is well known that you are either a good programmer or a good designer. It’s rare you’ll meet someone that is both. That’s why it wasn’t surprising to anyone that the logo that I made was mediocre — at best. Luckily, <a href="http://jeremygeltman.com/">Jeremy Geltman</a> has come to the rescue and contributed a brand new logo for Home Assistant.</p>
+
+<p>The new logo follows Googles material design spec. It uses the blue color that Home Assistant uses in the interface and it comes in two versions: a high detailed version (for homescreen icon etc) and a simple version (for favicon etc).</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+<img src="/images/blog/ha-logo-history.png" />
+The old logo, the new detailed logo and the new simple logo.

+
+  <p>It has only been a little over a week since Theodor introduced YAML support for Home Assistant but so much has already happened that it is time for a summary of recent changes. Before mentioning the highlights I want to thank <a href="https://github.com/andythigpen">andythigpen</a>, <a href="https://github.com/jamespcole">jamespcole</a> and <a href="https://github.com/theolind">theolind</a> for numerous bug fixes, enhancements and new contributions. Thanks!</p>
+
+<p><strong>Monitor local resources.</strong><br />
+Theodor has contributed a new sensor platform to allow you to monitor disk usage, memory usage, CPU usage and running processes. This platform has superseded the process component which is now considered deprecated.</p>

+
+<p><strong>Experimental Z-Wave support</strong><br />
+There is now experimental support for connecting Z-Wave networks using a Z-Wave USB stick. Right now it only integrates Z-Wave sensors into Home Assistant. Our goal is to get this tested by more people before adding support for other Z-Wave devices.</p>
+
+<p>The new component is built on top of <a href="https://code.google.com/p/python-openzwave/">python-openzwave</a>. This package is currently not distributed on PyPi so we’ve added a script <code class="highlighter-rouge">scripts/build_python_openzwave</code> to install it on your machine. Alternatively you can use the Docker image which is ready to go.</p>
+
+<p>The development was done using an AEON Z-Wave USB stick and an AEON Z-Wave MultiSensor.</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
+<span class="s">zwave</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+  <span class="s">usb_path</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">/dev/ttyUSB0</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p><strong>Voice control</strong><br />
+An initial version of voice control for Home Assistant has landed. The current implementation consists of two parts.</p>
+
+<p>The first part is a component called <code class="highlighter-rouge">conversation</code> that exposes the service <code class="highlighter-rouge">conversation/process</code>. This service is capable of processing text and translating them into commands for devices. For now it will only support commands in the format of <code class="highlighter-rouge">Turn &lt;Friendly Name&gt; &lt;on/off&gt;</code>.</p>
+
+<p>The second part is an upgrade to the frontend to use the speech-to-text in Chrome to allow users to speak commands. If you’re using Chrome, you can test this out in <a href="/demo/">the demo</a>.</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
+<span class="s">conversation</span><span class="pi">:</span>

+  <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>
+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 class="highlighter-rouge">script/turn_on</code> and interrupted using the service <code class="highlighter-rouge">script/turn_off</code>. A separate page has been added to the frontend to see the status of your scripts.</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
+<span class="s">script</span><span class="pi">:</span>

+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<p><strong>Scene</strong>
+I (Paulus) have contributed a scene component. A user can create scenes that capture the states you want certain entities to be. For example a scene can contain that light A should be turned on and light B should be bright red. Deactivating a scene will restore the previous state from before the scene was activated. Just like scripts, scenes have their own separate page to see which scenes are on.</p>

+  <p>It’s been a month since the latest update and a lot has happened again. Here a quick overview of the new things.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Line Charts</strong>
+<a href="https://github.com/jamespcole">James</a> has upgraded the history in the frontend to support line graphs. Line graphs will be shown for any entity that has a unit of measurement. The line graphs will also be shown in the more info card of an entity. <a href="/demo/">See the demo for a live example.</a></p>
+
+<p class="img">

+
+<p><strong>ISY994 hub support</strong>
+<img src="/images/supported_brands/universal_devices.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus">Ryan</a> has contributed support to integrate the ISY994 hub by Universal Devices. This allows you to integrate your X10/Insteon sensors, switches and lights.</p>
+
+<p>He has created an extensive getting started guide which can be found on <a href="/components/isy994/">the ISY994 component page</a>.</p>

+
+
+  <p>I have recently merged code to refactor Home Assistant to use only UTC times internally. A much needed refactor. I’ve added some extra test coverage to time sensitive parts to ensure stability. The code has been live in the dev branch for the last 9 days and will be soon released to the master branch.</p>
+
+<p>From now on all internal communication will be done in UTC: time changed events, datetime attributes of states, etc. To get the current time in UTC you can call <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant.util.dt.utcnow()</code>. This is a timezone aware UTC datetime object. <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/util/dt.py"><code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant.util.dt</code></a> is a new util package with date helpers.</p>
+
+<p>There is also such a thing as local time. Local time is based on the time zone that you have setup in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>. Local times should only be used for user facing information: logs, frontend and automation settings in <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>.</p>
+
+<h3>Setting up your time zone</h3>
+<p>Setting up a time zone happens in <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>. If you have no time zone setup, it will be auto detected using the existing detection code using <a href="https://freegeoip.net">freegeoip.net</a>. You can find a list of compatible time zones on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones">Wikipedia</a>.</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">homeassistant</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+  <span class="s">time_zone</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">America/Los_Angeles</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<h3>Compatibility</h3>
+<p>The changes to the code are mostly backwards compatible. The old <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_time_change</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_point_in_time</code> use now internally two new methods: <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_utc_time_change</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_point_in_utc_time</code>. The usage of the old methods have not changed and should be backwards compatible.</p>
+
+<p>This refactor adds a new migration for the database adding a <code class="highlighter-rouge">utc_offset</code> column to events and states. This information is currently not used but can prove useful in the future when we start analyzing the historical data.</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="backwards-incompatible-stuff" href="#backwards-incompatible-stuff"></a> Backwards incompatible stuff</h3>
+
+<p>All built-in components have been upgraded. The following list is only for people that run custom components:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_time_change</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass.track_point_in_time</code> will now return a time zone aware datetime object. Python does not allow comparing a naive with an aware datetime object.</li>
+  <li>the sun attributes for rising and setting are now in UTC. The methods <code class="highlighter-rouge">sun.next_rising(hass)</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">sun.next_setting(hass)</code> are backwards compatible, just be careful if you used to read the raw attributes.</li>
+  <li>the API sends all times in UTC. If you use anything else besides the frontend to talk to HA, make sure it handles it differently.</li>

+  <p>Almost three busy weeks have past since the last release. We used this time to finally make the overhaul to use UTC as the internal date time format. We added a bunch of test coverage in the process to make sure the transition went smoothly. Pleas see <a href="/blog/2015/05/09/utc-time-zone-awareness/#backwards-incompatible-stuff">the blog post about the UTC refactor</a> for backwards incompatible changes.</p>
+
+<p>This release includes a significant startup boost for the frontend and a fix for Wemo discovery after their latest firmware upgrade.</p>
+
+<p>I would like to give a big shout out to our newest contributor <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">fabaff</a> for taking the time to improve the documentation.</p>
+
+<p class="note">
+To update to the latest version, run <code>scripts/update</code>. Please report any issues on <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues">GitHub</a>.

+<p><strong>Overwriting Entity Attributes</strong>
+Before diving into the newly supported devices and services, I want to highlight an awesome configuration enhancement by <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus">rmkraus</a>: overwriting entity attributes.</p>
+
+<p>These new configuration settings allow you to overwrite entity state attributes. The main usage for this is being able to overwrite attributes that influence how an entity is shown in the interface.</p>

+
+  <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 class="img">

+  <p>Another month has passed and some great new features have landed in Home Assistant. This month release has been made possible by <a href="https://github.com/balloob">balloob</a>, <a href="https://github.com/ettisan">ettisan</a>, <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">fabaff</a>, <a href="https://github.com/gyran">gyran</a>, <a href="https://github.com/jamespcole">jamespcole</a>, <a href="https://github.com/michaelarnauts">michaelarnauts</a>, <a href="https://github.com/miniconfig">miniconfig</a> and <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus">rmkraus</a>.</p>
+
+<p>This release includes some architectural changes by me. The first is that the frontend is now based on a <a href="http://optimizely.github.io/nuclear-js/">NuclearJS</a> JavaScript backend. This has greatly helped to organize and optimize the frontend code. Another change is that Home Assistant will now install dependencies on-demand instead of installing dependencies for all supported devices.</p>
+
+<p><strong>IP Camera Support</strong>
+James has worked very hard to add support for IP cameras to Home Assistant which is included in this release. The initial release focusses on providing generic IP camera support. This means that any webcam that can exposes a JPEG image via a url can be integrated.</p>
+
+<p>Home Assistant will route the requests to your camera via the server allowing you to expose IP camera’s inside your network via the Home Assistant app.</p>

+
+  <p>It’s time for the August release and there is some serious good stuff this time. The core of Home Assistant has gone some serious clean up and a bump in test coverage thanks to <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>. If you’re a developer, make sure you read up on <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/251">the deprecation notices</a>. <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> did another great round of documentating all the various components.</p>
+
+<p><strong>MQTT Support</strong>
+<img src="/images/supported_brands/mqtt.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> The big new addition in this release is the support for the MQTT protocol by <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> with some help from <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>. It will now be possible to integrate any IoT device that talks via MQTT. For the initial release we support connecting Home Assistant to a broker (no TLS yet). Components can now subscribe and publish to MQTT topics (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/config/custom_components/mqtt_example.py">see the example</a>) and also support for the automation component <a href="/getting-started/automation-trigger/#mqtt-trigger">has been added</a>. For more information, see <a href="/components/mqtt/">the MQTT component page</a>.</p>

+  <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 don’t 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 wouldn’t 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.   It’s easy to see when the washing machine is in operation here.  I used the same technique for the dryer’s accelerometer.</p>

+  </a>
+  Graph showing the accelerometer data
+</p>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<p>Next it was just a matter of integrating everything with Home Assistant.  I was able to use the <a href="/components/mqtt/">MQTT component</a> to read the washer and dryer states from the Moteino and display it in Home Assistant.</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+  <img src="/images/blog/2015-08-laundry-automation/screenshot-ha.png" />
+  Status of the dryer and washer in Home Assistant
+</p>
+
+<p>Next I wrote <a href="/components/script/">scripts</a> that are run whenever the washer or dryer completes a load.  This is triggered by the <a href="/getting-started/automation/">automation component</a>.  When the laundry is complete I have the lights in the house turn red and <a href="/components/notify.pushbullet/">notify me via PushBullet</a>.  Once the laundry is taken care of another script runs that sets the lights back to normal.  So far it has been very helpful and very reliable.</p>

+  <p>As Home Assistant is gaining more and more users we started to feel the pain from not having a proper release mechanism. We had no version numbering and required users to checkout the source using Git to get started. On top of that, as the number of devices that we support keeps raising, so did the number of dependencies that are used. That’s why we decided to change the way we roll. From now on:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Each release will have a version number, starting with version 0.7. This was chosen because it shows that we have been around for some time but are not considering ourselves to be fully stable.</li>
+  <li>Each release will be pushed to PyPi. This will be the only supported method of distribution.</li>
+  <li>Home Assistant is available after installation as a command-line utility <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass</code>.</li>
+  <li>The default configuration location has been moved from <code class="highlighter-rouge">config</code> in the current working directory to <code class="highlighter-rouge">~/.homeassistant</code> (<code class="highlighter-rouge">%APPDATA%/.homeassistant</code> on Windows).</li>
+  <li>Requirements for components and platforms are no longer installed into the current Python environment (being virtual or not) but will be installed in <code class="highlighter-rouge">&lt;config-dir&gt;/lib</code>.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>A huge shout out to <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus">Ryan Kraus</a> for making this all possible. Please make sure you read <a href="/blog/2015/08/31/version-7-revamped-ui-and-improved-distribution/#read-more">the full blog post</a> for details on how to migrate your existing setup.</p>
+
+<p>And while Ryan was fixing distribution, I have been hard at work in giving Home Assistant a face lift. We already looked pretty good but lacked proper form of organization for users with many devices. The new UI moves away from a card per entity and has cards per group and domain instead. <a href="/demo/">The demo</a> has been updated so give it a spin.</p>

+<h3><a class="title-link" name="migration-to-version-07" href="#migration-to-version-07"></a> Migration to version 0.7</h3>
+
+<p>For this example, let’s say we have an old Home Assistant installation in <code class="highlighter-rouge">/home/paulus/home-assistant</code>.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to migrate your existing configuration to be used as the default configuration:</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>cp -r /home/paulus/home-assistant ~/.homeassistant
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>It If you want to have the configuration in a different location, for example <code class="highlighter-rouge">/home/paulus/home-assistant-config</code>, you will have to point Home Assistant at this configuration folder when launching:</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>hass --config /home/paulus/home-assistant-config
+</code></pre>

+<img src="/images/supported_brands/mqtt.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> <a href="https://github.com/sfam">@sfam</a> has blessed us with two more MQTT platforms to extend our integration with MQTTT: <a href="/components/sensor.mqtt/">sensor</a> and <a href="/components/switch.mqtt/">switch</a>. Both platforms require the MQTT component to be connected to a broker.</p>

+<p><img src="/images/supported_brands/mqtt.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="80" /> <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/">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’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’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>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="manual-usage" href="#manual-usage"></a> Manual usage</h3>
+
+<p>The simplest but not the coolest way as a human to interact with a Home Assistant sensor is launching a command manually. Let’s create a “Mood” sensor. For simplicity Home Assistant and the MQTT broker are both running on the same host. The needed configuration snipplets to add to the <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file consists of two parts: one for the broker and one for the sensor.</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">mqtt</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+  <span class="s">broker</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">127.0.0.1</span>
+
+<span class="s">sensor</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+  <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">mqtt</span>
+    <span class="s">name</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">Fabian's</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">Mood"</span>
+    <span class="s">state_topic</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">home-assistant/fabian/mood"</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>After a restart of Home Assistant the “Mood” sensor will show up in the frontend. For more details about the configuration of MQTT itself and the sensor, please refer to the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/mqtt/">MQTT component</a> or the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.mqtt/">MQTT sensor</a> documentation.</p>
+
+<p>Now we can set the mood. The commandline tool (<code class="highlighter-rouge">mosquitto_pub</code>) which is shipped with <code class="highlighter-rouge">mosquitto</code> is used to send an MQTT message.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>mosquitto_pub  -h 127.0.0.1 -t <span class="s2">"home-assistant/fabian/mood"</span> -m <span class="s2">"bad"</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p class="img">
+  <img src="/images/blog/2015-09-mqtt/mood.png" />
+  The Mood sensor
+</p>
+
+<p>This is a really bad example. Don’t do this in the real world because you won’t be able to create diagrams of historical data. Better use a numerical value.</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="python-mqtt-bindings" href="#python-mqtt-bindings"></a> Python MQTT bindings</h3>
+
+<p>The last section was pretty boring, I know. Nobody wants to send MQTT messages by hand if there is a computer on the desk. If you are playing the lottery this section is for you. If not, read it anyway because the lottery is just an example :-).</p>
+
+<p>This example is using the <a href="https://eclipse.org/paho/clients/python/">Paho MQTT Python binding</a> because those binding should be available on the host where Home Assistant is running. If you want to use this example on another machine, please make sure that the bindings are installed (<code class="highlighter-rouge">pip3 install paho-mqtt</code>).</p>
+
+<p>The first step is to add an additional MQTT sensor to the <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file. The sensor will be called “Lottery” and the unit of measurement will be “No.”.</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>  <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">mqtt</span>
+    <span class="s">name</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">Lottery"</span>
+    <span class="s">state_topic</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">home-assistant/lottery/number"</span>
+    <span class="s">unit_of_measurement</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">No."</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Don’t forget to restart Home Assistant to make the configuration active.</p>
+
+<p>To play, we need numbers from 1 to 49 which can be marked on the ticket. Those numbers should be random and displayed in the Home Assistant frontend. The Python script below is another simple example on how to send MQTT messages from the commandline; this time in a loop. For further information and examples please check the <a href="https://eclipse.org/paho/clients/python/docs/">Paho MQTT</a> documentation.</p>

+<p>Every 5 seconds a message with a new number is sent to the broker and picked up by Home Assistant. By the way, my mood is much better now.</p>

+
+<p>With only a few lines of Python and an MQTT broker you can create your own “smartdevice” or send information to Home Assistant which you haven’t think of. Of course this is not limited to Python. If there is an MQTT library available, the device can be used with Home Assistant now.</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="arduino" href="#arduino"></a> Arduino</h3>
+
+<p>To get started with real hardware that is capable to send MQTT messages, the Arduino platform is an inexpensive way to do it. In this section an Arduino UNO with an Ethernet shield and a photo resistor is used. The photo resistor is connected to analog pin 0 (A0) and has an output from 0 to 1024.</p>

+
+<p>The <a href="http://knolleary.github.io/pubsubclient/">MQTT client</a> for the Arduino needs to be available in your Arduino IDE. Below you will find a sketch which could act as a starting point. Please modify the IP addresses, the MAC address, and the pin as needed and upload the sketch to your Arduino.</p>

+  <p>Today we announce the release of Home Assistant v0.7.2 which includes brand new support by <a href="https://github.com/sfam">@sfam</a> to integrate with <a href="https://ifttt.com">IFTTT</a>. IFTTT stands for If This, Then That and is a webservice that integrates with almost every possible webservice out there. Adding Home Assistant to this mix means Home Assistant can connect with all via IFTTT.</p>
+
+<p>It is now possible to disable your irregation system if it is going to be cloudy tomorrow or tweet if your smoke alarm goes off.</p>
+
+<p class="img">

+
+<p>Head over to the <a href="/components/ifttt/">setup instructions</a> to get started with IFTTT. Click the read more button for some example recipes.</p>

+Inspried by a <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/310">feature requests</a> I started looking into the available options to do monitoring of remote hosts. The feature request is about displaying system information in a similar way than the <a href="/components/sensor.systemmonitor/">systemmonitor</a> sensor does it for the local system. After a while I started to think that it would be a nice addition for a small home network where no full-blown system monitoring setup is present.</p>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<p>The basic problem is to get the data from the remote host. Starting with <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil">psutil</a> that is used by the systemmonitor sensor, a possible solution is only a click away and named <a href="https://github.com/nicolargo/glances">Glances</a>. Glances has a nice curses-based interface and a <a href="https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/wiki/The-Glances-RESTFULL-JSON-API">RESTful API</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="/components/sensor.glances/">Glances sensor</a> sensor uses that API to get all needed data.</p>
+
+<p>In this post a default Fedora 22 Workstation installation is used on the host that should be monitored. In fact, it doesn’t matter if the system is the local one or a remote one as long as Glances is available. With some adjustments it should work on your own systems too. The difference will be the package and the firewall management tools.</p>
+
+<p>First some extra packages are needed beside Glances, especially the <a href="http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/index.html">bottle</a> webserver. I guess that Glances is available for your distribution as well. Otherwise follow those <a href="https://github.com/nicolargo/glances#installation">instructions</a>.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>sudo dnf -y install glances python-bottle
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>On Fedora the Firewall settings are strict. Let’s open port 61208 to allow other hosts to connect to that port. This is not needed if you just want to observe your local machine.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port<span class="o">=</span>61208/tcp
+<span class="gp">$ </span>sudo firewall-cmd --reload
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Launch <code class="highlighter-rouge">glances</code> and keep an eye on the output.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>glances -w
+Glances web server started on http://0.0.0.0:61208/
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Now browse to http://IP_ADRRESS:61208/. You should see the webified view of Glances.</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+  <img src="/images/blog/2015-09-glances/web-glances.png" />
+  Glances web interface
+</p>
+
+<p>Another check is to access the API located at http://IP_ADRRESS:61208/api/2/mem/used and to confirm that a detail about your memory usage is provided as a JSON response. If so, you are good to proceed.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>curl -X GET http://IP_ADDRESS:61208/api/2/mem/used
+<span class="o">{</span><span class="s2">"used"</span>: 203943936<span class="o">}</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Add the <a href="/components/sensor.glances/">glances sensor</a> entry to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file and restart Home Assistant then.</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>

+  <p>It’s like someone opened a can of rock solid developers and emptied it above our <a href="https://gitter.im/balloob/home-assistant">chat channel</a> because it exploded with great conversations and solid contributions. Featured in release 0.7.3: Sonos, iTunes, Alarm component and Automation upgrade.</p>
+
+<p>See <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/releases/tag/0.7.3">GitHub</a> for more detailed release notes.</p>
+
+<p><em>Migration note: the <code class="highlighter-rouge">scheduler</code> component has been removed in favor of the <code class="highlighter-rouge">automation</code> component.</em></p>
+
+<p><strong>Sonos</strong>
+<img src="/images/supported_brands/sonos.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> Sonos support has been added by <a href="https://github.com/rhooper">@rhooper</a> and <a href="https://github.com/SEJeff">@SEJeff</a>. Home Assistant is now able to automatically detect Sonos devices in your network and set them up for you. It will allow you to control music playing on your Sonos and change the volume.</p>
+
+<p><strong>iTunes and airplay speakers</strong>
+<img src="/images/supported_brands/itunes.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> <a href="https://github.com/maddox">@maddox</a> has contributed support for controlling iTunes and airplay speakers. For this to work you will have to run <a href="https://github.com/maddox/itunes-api">itunes-api</a> on your Mac as middleware.</p>

+
+  <p>A few weeks have past and it is time again for another release: version 0.7.4. This time we’re very glad to be able to introduce brand new integration with OwnTracks to allow tracking of people on a map. The geo support consists of three different parts:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><a href="/components/device_tracker.owntracks/">OwnTracks platform for the device tracker</a> to get locations for devices</li>
+  <li>Brand new <a href="/components/zone/">zone component</a> to define zones to identify locations and <a href="/getting-started/automation-trigger/#zone-trigger">trigger automation</a></li>
+  <li>A map in the UI to see all this (<a href="/demo/">see it in action in the demo</a>)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>We have added a new <a href="/getting-started/presence-detection/">getting started section</a> to get up and running.</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+<img src="/images/screenshots/map.png" />
+Map in Home Assistant showing two people and three zones (home, school, work)
+</p>
+
+<p>Ofcourse more things happened in the last three weeks. I’m moving away from my usual long post to a short summary of highlights:</p>

+<p>I recently learned about the ESP8266, a $5 chip that includes WiFi and is Arduino compatible. This means that all your DIY projects can now be done for a fraction of the price.</p>
+
+<p>For this tutorial, I’ll walk through how to get going with ESP8266, get the temperature and humidity and report it to MQTT where Home Asssistant can pick it up.</p>

+Home Assistant will keep track of historical values and allow you to integrate it into automation.

+
+<p>I’ve been using Adafruit for my shopping:</p>

+  <li><a href="/components/mqtt/#picking-a-broker">MQTT server</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><em>Besides this, you will need the usual hardware prototype equipment: a breadboard, some wires, soldering iron + wire, Serial USB cable.</em></p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="alternatives" href="#alternatives"></a> Alternatives</h3>
+
+<p>Since this article has been published the HDC1008 has been discontinued. Updated sketches are available for the following alternatives:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/385">DHT22 sensor</a> and <a href="https://gist.github.com/balloob/1176b6d87c2816bd07919ce6e29a19e9">updated sketch</a>.</li>
+  <li><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/2652">BME280 sensor</a> and <a href="https://gist.github.com/mtl010957/9ee85fb404f65e15c440b08c659c0419">updated sketch</a>.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="connections" href="#connections"></a> Connections</h3>
+
+<p>On your breadboard, make the following connections from your ESP8266 to the HDC1008:</p>
+
+<table>
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      <th>ESP8266</th>
+      <th>HDC1008</th>
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <td>GND</td>
+      <td>GND</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>3V</td>
+      <td>Vin</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>14</td>
+      <td>SCL</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>#2</td>
+      <td>SDA</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+<p><em>I picked <code class="highlighter-rouge">#2</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">14</code> myself, you can configure them in the sketch.</em></p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="preparing-your-ide" href="#preparing-your-ide"></a> Preparing your IDE</h3>
+
+<p>Follow <a href="https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino#installing-with-boards-manager">these instructions</a> on how to install and prepare the Arduino IDE for ESP8266 development.</p>
+
+<p>After you’re done installing, open the Arduino IDE, in the menu click on <code class="highlighter-rouge">sketch</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">include library</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">manage libraries</code> and install the following libraries:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>PubSubClient by Nick ‘O Leary</li>
+  <li>Adafruit HDC1000</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="sketch" href="#sketch"></a> Sketch</h3>
+
+<p>If you have followed the previous steps, you’re all set.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Open Arduino IDE and create a new sketch (<code class="highlighter-rouge">File</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">New</code>)</li>
+  <li>Copy and paste the below sketch to the Arduino IDE</li>
+  <li>Adjust the values line 6 - 14 to match your setup</li>
+  <li>Optional: If you want to connect to an MQTT server without a username or password, adjust line 62.</li>
+  <li>To have the ESP8266 accept our new sketch, we have to put it in upload mode. On the ESP8266 device keep the GPIO0 button pressed while pressing the reset button. The red led will glow half bright to indicate it is in upload mode.</li>
+  <li>Press the upload button in Arduino IDE</li>
+  <li>Open the serial monitor (<code class="highlighter-rouge">Tools</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">Serial Monitor</code>) to see the output from your device</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>This sketch will connect to your WiFi network and MQTT broker. It will read the temperature and humidity from the sensor every second. It will report it to the MQTT server if the difference is &gt; 1 since last reported value. Reports to the MQTT broker are sent with retain set to <code class="highlighter-rouge">True</code>. This means that anyone connecting to the MQTT topic will automatically be notified of the last reported value.</p>

+
+  <p>We discovered two issues annoying enough to warrent the release of 0.7.5:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Home Assistant package did not include the CloudMQTT certificate.</li>
+  <li>A bug in the core caused issues when some platforms are loaded twice.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>This release also includes some new platforms (because they keep coming!):</p>
+

+</ul>
+
+<p>Also, the media player was extended by <a href="https://github.com/maddox">@maddox</a> to support the play media command. This has been implemented for the <a href="/components/media_player.itunes/">iTunes platform</a>.</p>

+
+  <p>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, <a href="https://coveralls.io/builds/3946399">test coverage increased to 85%</a> and thanks to the hard work by <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> and myself the <a href="/components/">component section</a> on the website has gotten a complete revamp.</p>

+
+<h4>Breaking changes</h4>
+
+<p>As part of this release we did some cleanup which introduced backwards incompatible changes:</p>
+
+<p><strong>Heat Control thermostat no longer includes scheduling features.</strong>
+This feature has been removed completely. Use the <a href="/getting-started/automation/">automation component</a> instead to control target temperature.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Config changed for calling a service from a script.</strong>
+<code class="highlighter-rouge">execute_service:</code> has been replaced with <code class="highlighter-rouge">service:</code>. See <a href="/components/script/">component page</a> for example. The old method will continue working for some time.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Scenes can no longer be turned off.</strong>
+It is no longer possible to turn a scene off after it has been activated. The way it worked was unpredictable and causes a lot of confusion.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Downloader treats relative paths now relative to the config dir instead of the current working dir.</strong>
+This makes more sense as most people run Home Assistant as a daemon</p>

+  <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><img src="/images/blog/2015-11-survey/releases.png" style="float: right; margin-left: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px;" height="120" />Around a week ago we started with the first survey. Now 30 people have participated. Thank you very much if you did. We think that’s enough time to have some “only partially representative” data. It’s hard to tell how many Home Assistant users are out there. Currently there are 215 members in our <a href="https://gitter.im/balloob/home-assistant">Gitter chat room</a> and last week <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/homeassistant/">PyPI</a> counted 5063 downloads.</p>
+
+<p>The idea was to anonymously collect some details about the usage of the different parts of Home Assistant and a little bit about the environment its running in.</p>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+<p>Thanks to Python, users are running Home Assistant on the most popular Linux distributions and other operating systems including OS X and Microsoft Windows. One quarter of the operating systems are unknown which leads to the assumption that it is possible to run Home Assistant on most of the available operation systems today. We hope that *BSD users have fun too. The Hardware platform of choice seems to be x86_64 and ARM.</p>
+
+<p>Of course most users are running with the <a href="/getting-started/automation/">automation</a> component otherwise it would make much sense to use Home Assistant. The <a href="/components/sun/">sun</a> component is used a lot too. We hope that this is not because this component is enabled by default.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="/components/alarm_control_panel/">Alarm control panels</a> and the <a href="/components/camera/">camera component</a> are both used by around one third of the participants of the survey. It’s safe to say that they cover a niche, but they will gain momentum when people discover how they can build alarm systems with Home Assistant.</p>
+
+<p><a href="/components/light.hue/">Philips Hue</a> is the “winner” in the light category closely followed by <a href="components/light.mqtt/">MQTT lights</a>. <a href="/components/media_player.cast/">Google Cast</a> and <a href="/components/media_player.plex/"> Plex</a> are the top media player platforms. <a href="/components/notify.pushbullet/">Pushbullet</a> is by far the most-used <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/notify/">notification platform</a>. If you followed the recent efforts to improve this platform it’s comprehensible.</p>
+
+<p>It’s interesting to see that most of the sensor, switch, and thermostat platforms are used. A lot of people seem to be interested in the weather data provided by the <a href="/components/sensor.forecast/">Forecast sensor</a>. The MQTT sensors and switches are deployed in almost 50% of all Home Assistant setups.</p>

+
+<p>The conclusion is that <a href="http://mqtt.org/">MQTT</a> is popular in almost every section from Alarm Control Panel, presence detection with <a href="http://owntracks.org/">owntracks</a>, sensors and switches, and now even for lights.</p>
+
+<p>The interpretation of the data is up to you. Again, thanks for participating in this survey.</p>

+  <p>From time to time we come along things that are worth sharing with fellow Home Assisters. Here a list of some cool stuff from last week:</p>
+
+<p>First is the public beta of <a href="https://letsencrypt.org/">Let’s Encrypt</a>. Let’s Encrypt is a new certificate authority that is free, automated and open. This means that it will now be very easy to secure your connection to Home Assistant while you are away from home. W1ll1am23 has written up <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/t/homeassistant-nginx-ssl-proxy-setup/53">a guide how to get started</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The next thing is a show-off of some of the cool stuff people do with Home Assistant. This is miniconfig talking to Home Assistant using the Amazon Echo!</p>

+
+<p>And last but not least, Midwestern Mac did a <a href="http://www.midwesternmac.com/blogs/jeff-geerling/raspberry-pi-microsd-card">microSD card performance comparison</a> for the Raspberry Pi. If you’re using a Pi, make sure to check it out!</p>

+The <a href="https://influxdb.com/">InfluxDB</a> database is a so-called time series database primarly designed to store sensor data and real-time analytics.</p>
+
+<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">influxdb</code> component makes it possible to transfer all state changes from Home Assistant to an external <a href="https://influxdb.com/">InfluxDB</a> database.</p>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<p>The first step is to install the InfluxDB packages. If you are not running Fedora, check the <a href="https://influxdb.com/docs/v0.9/introduction/installation.html">installation</a> section for further details.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>sudo dnf -y install http://influxdb.s3.amazonaws.com/influxdb-0.9.5.1-1.x86_64.rpm
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Launch the InfluxDB service.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>sudo systemctl start influxdb
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>If everything went well, then the web interface of the database should be accessible at <a href="http://localhost:8083/">http://localhost:8083/</a>. Create a database <code class="highlighter-rouge">home_assistant</code> to use with Home Assistant either with the web interface or the commandline tool <code class="highlighter-rouge">influx</code>.</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+  <img src="/images/blog/2015-12-influxdb/influxdb-frontend.png" />
+  InfluxDB web frontend
+</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>influx
+Visit https://enterprise.influxdata.com to register <span class="k">for </span>updates, InfluxDB server management, and monitoring.
+Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 0.9.5.1
+InfluxDB shell 0.9.5.1
+<span class="gp">&gt; </span>CREATE DATABASE home_assistant
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>An optional step is to create a user. Keep in mind to adjust the configuration (add <code class="highlighter-rouge">username</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">password</code>) in the next step if you prefer to go this way.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">&gt; </span>CREATE USER <span class="s2">"home-assistant"</span> WITH PASSWORD <span class="s1">'password'</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>To use the <code class="highlighter-rouge">influxdb</code> component in your installation, add the following to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">influxdb</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+  <span class="s">host</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">127.0.0.1</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>After you restart Home Assistant you should see that the InfluxDB database gets filled. The <a href="https://influxdb.com/docs/v0.9/query_language/index.html">language</a> to query the database is similar to SQL.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>influx
+<span class="o">[</span>...]
+<span class="gp">&gt; </span>USE home_assistant
+Using database home_assistant
+<span class="gp">&gt; </span>SELECT <span class="k">*</span> FROM binary_sensor
+name: binary_sensor
+-------------------
+<span class="nb">time			</span>domain		entity_id	value
+1449496577000000000	binary_sensor	bathroom_door	0
+1449496577000000000	binary_sensor	bathroom_window	0
+1449496577000000000	binary_sensor	basement_door	0
+1449496577000000000	binary_sensor	basement_window	0
+1449496684000000000	binary_sensor	bathroom_window	1
+<span class="o">[</span>...]
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p><a href="http://grafana.org/">Grafana</a> is a dashboard that can create graphs from different sources including InfluxDB. The installation is simple, and there are detailed steps for many different configurations on the <a href="http://docs.grafana.org/installation/">Grafana installation</a> page. For a recent system that is running Fedora:</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>sudo dnf -y install https://grafanarel.s3.amazonaws.com/builds/grafana-2.5.0-1.x86_64.rpm
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Start the grafana server.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+<span class="gp">$ </span>sudo systemctl start grafana-server
+<span class="gp">$ </span>sudo systemctl status grafana-server
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Login with the username <code class="highlighter-rouge">admin</code> and the password <code class="highlighter-rouge">admin</code> at <a href="http://localhost:3000/login">http://localhost:3000/login</a>. Now follow the <a href="http://docs.grafana.org/datasources/influxdb/">InfluxDB setup instructions</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Now you can start to create dashboards and graphs. You have various options to get the data from the graph. The next image just shows a screenshot of the setting for a temperature sensor.</p>

+  Grafana settings
+</p>
+
+<p>If the graph is not showing up in the dashboard you need to adjust the time range in the right upper corner. The graph is created for all state changes recorded by Home Assistant.</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>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<h3>AutoRemote URL</h3>
+
+<p>First things first you should install <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm">Tasker</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autoremote">AutoRemote</a> onto your Android device and launch AutoRemote. You should see a URL above the QR code, visit it in your browser and it should bring up a page a bit like this.</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+<img src="/images/blog/2015-12-tasker/screenshot-1.png" />
+</p>
+
+<p>Now type in <code class="highlighter-rouge">SayOn</code> in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">Message</code> box and you should see a box appear on the right with a URL in it, this is what we will be using in the Python script later on so save that for later. Do the same thing again but this time replace <code class="highlighter-rouge">SayOn</code> with <code class="highlighter-rouge">SayOff</code>. Now just click the <code class="highlighter-rouge">Send message now!</code> button to test that your commands will get sent to your Android device, if they do you will see a toast message at the bottom of your screen like this one.</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+<img src="/images/blog/2015-12-tasker/screenshot-2.png" height="450" />
+</p>
+
+<h3>Tasker Setup</h3>
+
+<p>Open up Tasker and make sure you’re in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">PROFILES</code> tab, then select the plus icon to create a new profile. Select <code class="highlighter-rouge">Event</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">Plugin</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">AutoRemote</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">AutoRemote</code> and then the pencil icon to configure the AutoRemote event. Select <code class="highlighter-rouge">Message Filter</code> and enter in <code class="highlighter-rouge">SayOn</code> then go back until it asks you for a task. Select <code class="highlighter-rouge">New task</code> then just leave the next field blank and select the tick icon. 
+This is where we’ll configure our task, so select the plus icon to select an action. Select <code class="highlighter-rouge">Alert</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">Say</code> to add a Say action. Enter <code class="highlighter-rouge">On</code> in the text field and go back to test your task, make sure your media volume is up then select the play icon, you should hear your device say “On”.</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+<img src="/images/blog/2015-12-tasker/screenshot-3.png" height="450" />
+</p>
+
+<p>Now you can go back to the main Tasker screen and create another profile but this time replace <code class="highlighter-rouge">SayOn</code> with <code class="highlighter-rouge">SayOff</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">On</code> with <code class="highlighter-rouge">Off</code>. After you’ve done that go to the main screen again and select the menu button at the top then <code class="highlighter-rouge">Exit</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">Save first</code> to make sure everything is saved properly.</p>
+
+<h3>Python Script</h3>
+
+<p>Now it’s time to set it up the script, so create a new Python script and name it <code class="highlighter-rouge">On.py</code> then enter this code:</p>
+
+<div class="language-python highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">requests</span>
+<span class="n">requests</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">get</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">'[URL]'</span><span class="p">)</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Enter in your “On” URL then save it. Create another script but this time call it <code class="highlighter-rouge">Off.py</code> and enter your “off” URL instead.</p>
+
+<h3>Home Assistant Configuration</h3>
+
+<p>Add a command line switch to your Home Assistant configuration:</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">switch</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+  <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">command_switch</span>
+  <span class="s">switches</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+    <span class="s">tasker_say</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+      <span class="s">oncmd</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">python "[LocationOfOnScript]"</span>
+      <span class="s">offcmd</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">python "[LocationOfOffScript]"</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Now load up Home Assistant and whenever you toggle the switch you created your Android device will respond with either “On” or “Off”. :-)</p>

+  <p><strong>Update Dec 16</strong>: Great news! Philips has decided to <a href="http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/friends-hue-update">reverse their decision</a> and is working on a software update to allow 3rd party light bulbs again.</p>

+Philips Hue FAQ entries regarding reversing the decision.
+</p>
+
+<p><em>Original post:</em></p>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+<p>Philips Hue was one of the first to get smart lights accepted by the mainstream. Their Zigbee-based hub is rock solid, never crashes, great API and worked with other Zigbee light bulbs too. They are a bit expensive but the platform was worth every penny, till now.</p>
+
+<p>Yesterday a thread on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/homeautomation/comments/3wet8h/fyi_the_hue_hub_is_now_blocking_third_party/">/r/homeautomation</a> published that Philips Hue now blocks all but their own bulbs and those of “friends of Hue”. I have been able to confirm this in the <a href="http://www2.meethue.com/en-us/support/search/?q=Another+brand">Philips Hue FAQ</a> (Update Dec 14: they have removed the entries - <a href="/images/blog/2015-12-philips-hue-3rd-party/mirror.png">mirror here</a>):</p>

+Philips Hue FAQ entries regarding 3rd party light bulbs.
+</p>
+
+<p>This means that after you update your Hue bridge to the latest version:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>As of now, you can still use your existing paired 3rd party light bulbs</li>
+  <li>You cannot pair new 3rd party light bulbs</li>
+  <li>You’re out of luck if for some reason you have to pair existing 3rd party light bulbs again</li>
+  <li>Resetting your hub will force pairing of all your bulbs again</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If you own a Philips Hue hub and are using 3rd party light bulbs, make sure you do not upgrade your hub if you want to be able to pair new 3rd party lightbulbs. But do realize that you are sitting on a ticking time bomb.</p>
+
+<p>I have read, but have been unable to confirm it, that resetting your hub will force a software upgrade. So beware of that too.</p>
+
+<p>I will no longer suggest people to buy into the Philips Hue ecosystem.</p>

+  <p>Exposing your Home Assistant instance outside of your network always has been tricky. You have to set up port forwarding on your router and most likely add a dynamic DNS service to work around your ISP changing your IP. After this you would be able to use Home Assistant from anywhere but there is one big red flag: no encryption.</p>
+
+<p>This tutorial will take you through the steps to setup a dynamic DNS for your IP and allow trusted encrypted connection to it - for free using <a href="https://duckdns.org">DuckDNS</a> and <a href="https://letsencrypt.org">Let’s Encrypt</a>.</p>

+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="requirements" href="#requirements"></a> Requirements</h3>
+
+<p>The DuckDNS part of this tutorial has no requirements but there are a few requirements as of now to run the Let’s Encrypt client.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Direct connection to the internet or admin access to your router to set up port forwarding.</li>
+  <li>A machine running a Unix-ish OS that include Python 2.6 or 2.7 (Docker can be used).</li>
+  <li>Root access, to write to default config, log and library directories and bind port 80.</li>
+</ul>
+

+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="duckdns" href="#duckdns"></a> DuckDNS</h3>
+
+<p>The first step is to set up <a href="https://duckdns.org">DuckDNS</a>. This is a free dynamic DNS service that you can use to get a DuckDNS.org subdomain to point at your house. A dynamic DNS service works by having your home computer tell DuckDNS.org every 5 minutes what its IP is so that DuckDNS can make sure your domain name is set up correctly.</p>
+
+<p>For this example we will assume our domain is hass-example.duckdns.org.</p>
+
+<p>First step is to acquire and set up our domain name. For this, go to <a href="https://duckdns.org">DuckDNS</a>, log in with any of the supported login providers and add a domain. After this check out their <a href="https://www.duckdns.org/install.jsp">installation instructions</a> to finish your installation of DuckDNS. If you’re on a Raspberry Pi, see ‘Pi’ in the category ‘Operating Systems’.</p>
+
+<p><img src="/images/supported_brands/letsencrypt.png" style="clear: right; border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right; margin-left: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px;" width="60" /></p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="lets-encrypt" href="#lets-encrypt"></a> Let’s Encrypt</h3>
+
+<p><a href="https://letsencrypt.org">Let’s Encrypt</a> is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA). We will use this to acquire a certificate that can be used to encrypted our connection with Home Assistant.</p>
+
+<p>Let’s Encrypt will give you a free 90-day certificate if you pass their domain validation challenge. Domains are validated by having certain data be accessible on your domain for Let’s Encrypt (<a href="https://letsencrypt.org/how-it-works/">they describe it better themselves</a>).</p>
+
+<p>Assuming that your home is behind a router, the first thing to do is to set up port forwarding from your router to your computer that will run Let’s Encrypt. For the Let’s Encrypt set up we need to forward external port <code class="highlighter-rouge">80</code> to internal port <code class="highlighter-rouge">80</code> (http connections). This can be set up by accessing your router admin interface (<a href="http://portforward.com">Site with port forwarding instructions per router</a>). This port forward must be active whenever you want to request a new certificate from Let’s Encrypt, typically every three months. If you normally don’t use or have an app that listens to port <code class="highlighter-rouge">80</code>, it should be safe to leave the port open. This will make renewing certificates easier.</p>
+
+<p>Now you’re ready to install and run the client that requests certificates from Let’s Encrypt. The following example will use the platform independent script to install and run the <a href="https://certbot.eff.org/">certbot</a> client from Let’s Encrypt. If there is a certbot package for your OS, it’s recommended to install the package instead of the platform independent script. Read the <a href="https://certbot.eff.org/">docs</a> for more information. There are also other clients that might offer more customization and options. See the <a href="https://letsencrypt.org/docs/client-options/">client options page</a> at Let’s Encrypt.</p>

+<p>If you’re using Docker, run the following command to generate the required keys:</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo mkdir /etc/letsencrypt /var/lib/letsencrypt
+sudo docker run -it --rm -p 80:80 --name certbot <span class="se">\</span>
+                -v <span class="s2">"/etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt"</span> <span class="se">\</span>

+                --email your@email.address -d hass-example.duckdns.org
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>With either method your certificate will be generated and put in the directory <code class="highlighter-rouge">/etc/letsencrypt/live/hass-example.duckdns.org</code>. As the lifetime is only 90 days, you will have to repeat this every 90 days. There’s a special command to simplify renewing certificates:</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>./certbot-auto renew --quiet --no-self-upgrade --standalone <span class="se">\</span>
+                     --standalone-supported-challenges http-01
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p><img width="60" src="/images/favicon-192x192.png" style="float: right; border:none; box-shadow: none;" /></p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="home-assistant" href="#home-assistant"></a> Home Assistant</h3>
+
+<p>Before updating the Home Assistant configuration, we have to forward port <code class="highlighter-rouge">443</code> (https connections) to port <code class="highlighter-rouge">8123</code> on the computer that will run Home Assistant. Do this in your router configuration as previously done for port <code class="highlighter-rouge">80</code>.</p>
+
+<p>The final step is to point Home Assistant at the generated certificates. Before you do this, make sure that the user running Home Assistant has read access to the folder that holds the certificates.</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">http</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+  <span class="s">api_password</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">YOUR_SECRET_PASSWORD</span>
+  <span class="s">ssl_certificate</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">/etc/letsencrypt/live/hass-example.duckdns.org/fullchain.pem</span>
+  <span class="s">ssl_key</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">/etc/letsencrypt/live/hass-example.duckdns.org/privkey.pem</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>You can now navigate to https://hass-example.duckdns.org and enjoy encryption!</p>

+  <p>Alrighty, it’s time for Home Assistant 0.10. A lot amazing things have changed and sadly we also had to introduce a bunch of backwards incompatible changes. I would like to give a big shoutout to Philip Lundrigan (<a href="https://github.com/philipbl">@philipbl</a>) who put a lot in effort in helping the migration to move towards using templates for a wide variety of platforms.</p>

+
+<h3>Templates</h3>
+
+<p>This release introduces templates. This will allow you to parse data before it gets processed or create messages for notifications on the fly based on data within Home Assistant. The notification component and the new Alexa/Amazon Echo component are both using the new template functionality to render responses. A template editor has been added to the developer tool section in the app so you can get instant feedback if your templates are working or not.</p>
+
+<div class="language-text highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>The temperature at home is {{ states('sensor.temperature') }}.
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>More information and examples can be found in the <a href="/topics/templating/">template documentation</a>.</p>
+
+<h3>Breaking changes</h3>
+
+<p>Templates will now be the only way to extract data from ‘raw’ sources like REST, CommandSensor or MQTT. This will replace any specific option that used to do this before. This means that <code class="highlighter-rouge">precision</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">factor</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">attribute</code> or <code class="highlighter-rouge">json_path</code> etc will no longer work.</p>
+
+<p>Affected components and platforms:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>sensor: <a href="/components/sensor.arest/">arest</a></li>
+  <li>sensor: <a href="/components/sensor.command_sensor/">command_sensor</a></li>

+  <p>First release of 2016 and we are on 🔥! The <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/">main repository</a> has passed 2500 ⭐ on GitHub (2596 ⭐ as of now). This release also has a <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/883#partial-users-participants">record number</a> of 20 contributors all working on improving and extending Home Assistant. With the continued growth, I am very excited to see what 2016 will bring us 🤘.</p>

+
+
+  <p>People often ask me about my vision for Home Assistant. Before I can describe where I want to go with Home Assistant, I should first talk about how home automation would look in my ideal world. This will be the aim of this post. I’m not going to focus on protocols, networks or specific hubs. That’s all implementation details. Instead, this post will focus on what is most important: the interaction between the users and their home.</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="you-should-not-have-to-adapt-to-technology" href="#you-should-not-have-to-adapt-to-technology"></a> You should not have to adapt to technology.</h3>
+
+<p>When people start using home automation, they always experience home control first: being able to control devices in new ways using a phone or computer. They believe the future is now and their app will be their remote for their lives. They only focus on what they are getting, not on what they are losing. You install some light bulbs and all of a sudden you are no longer able to use the light switches. You’ll arrive at home at night and have to pull out your phone, open the app, let it connect and finally you’ll be able to turn on the light. All while turning the light on could have been a switch away.</p>
+
+<p>Yes, you can solve this with presence detection. What if  your phone runs out of battery? You’ll have to resort to the switch again.</p>
+
+<p>If you find that using your new home devices is cumbersome, the promise of home automation technology has failed you. Your lights should work with both a switch (or button) at the entrance of your room and via presence detection. Honestly, there are hardly any valid use cases for being able to control lights from your phone except for showing off.
+<a name="read-more"></a></p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="you-are-not-the-only-user-of-your-home-automation" href="#you-are-not-the-only-user-of-your-home-automation"></a> You are not the only user of your home automation.</h3>
+
+<p>People tend to forget that they are not the only ones in their home. As the developer of your house you’re enthusiastic about the possibilities and are willing to overlook flaws. Chances are very high that the other people in your household have different hobbies and just want to mind their own business.</p>
+
+<p>This means that everything you automate has to work flawlessly. If you successfully manage to cause a response to some stimulus 90% of the time, you’re going to have a disproportionately poor experience 10% of the time.  A common automation that fits this pattern is to fade the lights when you start watching a movie or series in the living room. It only works if everyone is watching.</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="limit-the-impact-of-false-positives-and-negatives" href="#limit-the-impact-of-false-positives-and-negatives"></a> Limit the impact of false positives and negatives.</h3>
+
+<p>With every automation, you always have to think: what will be the impact if it doesn’t work? Home automation is composed of many different systems by many different vendors that speak many different protocols: things will go wrong. It’s up to you to make sure that they have a limited impact when they fail. Ideally, devices should fall back to a pre-smart home experience. A Philips Hue bulb will act like a standard white light if turned on/off using a normal switch or when not connected to a hub. If things get worse when your system is out of order, your users will revolt. Take for example the Nest thermostat that <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/14/fashion/nest-thermostat-glitch-battery-dies-software-freeze.html">had a bug in the beginning of January</a> which caused it to stop heating the house, yikes!</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="the-perfect-app-is-no-app" href="#the-perfect-app-is-no-app"></a> The perfect app is no app.</h3>
+
+<p>Home automation should blend with your current workflow, not replace it. For most devices, there is no faster way to control most devices than how you are already doing it today. Most of the time, the best app is no app. The only interface that can be more convenient, and is accessible for visitors of your home of all ages is a voice interface. The industry has realized this too and there are some major players focussing on voice interaction. Take Apple for example: the only way to control your HomeKit devices is with Siri.  Amazon has taken it one step further with the Amazon Echo, providing an always-listening connected speaker/microphone for the living room. I expect a lot more companies to join this segment in 2016.</p>
+
+<p>Voice interfaces are not perfect either. The speed at which you can issue commands is low because you have to wait for a response. There are also issues with the discoverability of commands, recognition of accents and dependency on the cloud for processing your voice. I believe that all but the first one are problems that are going to be solved eventually.</p>
+
+<p>This however doesn’t mean there isn’t a place for apps, there definitely is. They are perfectly well-suited for checking in while you’re away, browsing  the state changes of your house or making  the lights go all funky when there are kids visiting.</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="your-system-should-run-at-home-not-in-the-cloud" href="#your-system-should-run-at-home-not-in-the-cloud"></a> Your system should run at home, not in the cloud.</h3>
+
+<p>The cloud is a magical thing. Somewhere in the world there are computers collecting the data that your house generates, testing them against your automation rules and sending commands back when needed.  The cloud will receive updates and improve itself over time so it is able to serve you better. Until it’s not. There are many reasons why your home might lose its connection to the cloud. The internet can stop working, an update might have gone wrong or the servers running the cloud crash.</p>
+
+<p>When this happens, your house should be able to keep functioning. The cloud should be treated as an extension to your smart home instead of running it. That way you’ll avoid awkward situations like when Amazon AWS was down and the <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-night-alexa-lost-her-mind/">Amazon Echo stopped working</a>.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Good home automation never annoys but is missed when it is not working.</strong></p>

+  <p>Another sprint has come to an end and it seems that we have not slowed down a single bit 🚀. 0.12 is full of new components, platforms and organizational additions.</p>
+
+<p>I would like to give a shout out to <a href="https://github.com/pavoni">Greg Dowling (@pavoni)</a> as every release includes new work from him. He is constantly adding support for new platforms or improving the reliablity of existing components and platforms. Keep up the good work!</p>

+<p>This release includes a very frequent requested feature: the ability to organize entities in different tabs in the frontend. See <a href="/demo/">the demo</a> to see this in action and read more in the <a href="/components/group/">group documentation</a> how to get started.</p>

+  <p><em>This is a guest post by Home Assistant users <a href="https://github.com/jer">Jeremiah Wuenschel</a> and <a href="https://github.com/stjohnjohnson">St. John Johnson</a>.</em></p>
+
+<p>So you own a <a href="http://smartthings.com">SmartThings</a> Hub. You probably bought it when you were looking to get into the whole Home Automation hobby because it worked with pretty much everything and offered you the ability to automate <strong>anything.</strong> After a week of ownership, you realized that building dashboards and automating required writing way more Groovy then you expected. Then one day you were browsing <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/homeautomation">reddit</a> and discovered the amazingness that is Home Assistant! A solution that offered dashboards, graphs, working support for Nest, and REAL EASY automation!</p>
+
+<p>You spent your weekend getting everything set up, showing it off to your significant other, but in the end you got stumped when it came to integrating with all your existing SmartThings toys. What do I do now? Should I buy another hub? Should I just buy a Z-Wave stick?</p>
+
+<p>That’s where we came in. We wanted a solution that can bridge the awesomeness of Home Assistant with the SmartThings hub that works with almost everything.</p>
+

+
+<h2>Glossary</h2>
+
+<p>This is going to be a pretty detailed tutorial on setting up our SmartThings bridge. However, there are a couple key terms that <em>might</em> be new to you:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQTT">MQTT</a>: A lightweight message protocol for listening and publishing events that happen. Many home automation platforms have built in support for this <a href="/components/mqtt/">(especially Home Assistant)</a>.</li>
+  <li><a href="https://www.docker.com/">Docker</a>: A tool for running applications that are self-contained. No need for installing any dependencies or worrying about conflicts. Installs easily on Linux and OSX.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Setting up the Bridge</h2>
+
+<h3>MQTT</h3>
+
+<p>Assuming that you already have Home Assistant and Smart Things running, you will first want to get an MQTT broker running. There are a handful of <a href="http://mosquitto.org/">MQTT</a> <a href="https://github.com/emqtt/emqttd">brokers</a> available in Open Source land. We chose <a href="http://www.mosca.io/">Mosca</a> for its simplicity.</p>
+
+<p>There is very little you need to do to get Mosca running. The easiest approach is to use <a href="https://www.docker.com/">Docker</a>, and run a command like the following:</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>docker run <span class="se">\</span>
+    -d <span class="se">\</span>
+    --name<span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">"mqtt"</span> <span class="se">\</span>
+    -v /opt/mosca:/db <span class="se">\</span>
+    -p 1883:1883 <span class="se">\</span>
+    matteocollina/mosca
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>This will start Mosca up inside of a docker container, while keeping persistent storage for Mosca in <code class="highlighter-rouge">/opt/mosca</code>. The default configuration is the only thing we need to get things up and running.</p>
+
+<p>If you don’t want to mess with Docker and can get node.js installed without trouble, the <a href="https://github.com/mcollina/mosca#standalone">standalone</a> instructions are all you need.</p>
+
+<h3>MQTT Bridge</h3>
+
+<p>This is the small piece of magic that bridges the gap between MQTT and SmartThings. It is a node.js app, and like Mosca it is probably easiest to install with Docker:</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>docker run <span class="se">\</span>
+    -d <span class="se">\</span>
+    --name<span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">"mqtt-bridge"</span> <span class="se">\</span>
+    -v /opt/mqtt-bridge:/config <span class="se">\</span>
+    -p 8080:8080 <span class="se">\</span>
+    stjohnjohnson/smartthings-mqtt-bridge
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>The code for this bridge is <a href="https://github.com/stjohnjohnson/smartthings-mqtt-bridge">on Github</a> if you want to start it up independently.</p>
+
+<p>The MQTT Bridge only needs to know where your MQTT broker lives. If you are using these docker commands as-is, edit <code class="highlighter-rouge">/opt/mqtt-bridge/config.yml</code> to look like this:</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="nn">---</span>
+<span class="s">mqtt</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+    <span class="s">host</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">&lt;IP of the host&gt;</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Restart the bridge, and you are ready to go:</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>docker restart mqtt-bridge
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<h3>SmartThings Device</h3>
+
+<p>The next step (and possibly the most confusing) is the device type. Go to the <a href="https://graph.api.smartthings.com/ide/devices">Smart Things Device IDE</a> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">Create New Device Handler</code>. Choose <code class="highlighter-rouge">From Code</code> and paste in the <a href="https://github.com/stjohnjohnson/smartthings-mqtt-bridge/blob/master/devicetypes/stj/mqtt-bridge.src/mqtt-bridge.groovy">MQTT Bridge Device Code</a>. Click <code class="highlighter-rouge">Save</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">Publish</code>, and then <code class="highlighter-rouge">For Me</code>.</p>

+<p>Now to install your new Device Handler. Go back to <code class="highlighter-rouge">My Devices</code> in the IDE, and click <code class="highlighter-rouge">New Device</code>. Enter a name, and pick any random set of characters for the Device Network Id (this will automatically update later). For Type, scroll to the bottom of the list and find your newly created <code class="highlighter-rouge">MQTT Bridge</code>. Fill in the other boxes however you like.</p>
+
+<p>Go back to <code class="highlighter-rouge">My Devices</code>, and click on your new device in the list. This will bring up a page that allows you to edit your device’s Preferences. Click <code class="highlighter-rouge">edit</code> and fill in the 3 pieces of information it asks for.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MQTT Bridge IP Address: &lt;IP address of the MQTT Bridge from the previous step&gt;</li>
+  <li>MQTT Bridge Port: &lt;8080 if you have changed nothing in the previous commands&gt;</li>
+  <li>MQTT Bridge MAC Address: &lt;Mac address of machine running the Bridge code&gt;</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>This will create the link between SmartThings and the MQTT Bridge.</p>
+
+<h3>SmartThings App</h3>
+
+<p>The last step is to setup the SmartApp. After this, any registered devices will start sending their events to MQTT.</p>
+
+<p>Go to the <a href="https://graph.api.smartthings.com/ide/apps">Smart App IDE</a>. Click <code class="highlighter-rouge">New SmartApp</code>, followed by <code class="highlighter-rouge">From Code</code>. Paste in the <a href="https://github.com/stjohnjohnson/smartthings-mqtt-bridge/blob/master/smartapps/stj/mqtt-bridge.src/mqtt-bridge.groovy">MQTT Bridge SmartApp code</a> and click <code class="highlighter-rouge">Save</code>. Click <code class="highlighter-rouge">Publish</code> and then <code class="highlighter-rouge">For Me</code>. In the SmartThings mobile app, add the new SmartApp and configure it with your devices and MQTT Bridge device. Clicking <code class="highlighter-rouge">done</code> will subscribe SmartThings to your MQTT broker and begin 2-way propagation of events.</p>
+
+<h3>Configure Home Assistant</h3>
+
+<p>To add SmartThings devices to Home Assistant over MQTT, first enable MQTT in Home Assistant:</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">mqtt</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+  <span class="s">broker</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">localhost</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Replace <code class="highlighter-rouge">localhost</code> with the location of the running MQTT Broker. Devices from the MQTT Bridge are published to the path <code class="highlighter-rouge">smartthings/&lt;Device Name&gt;/&lt;Atribute&gt;</code></p>
+
+<p>For example, my Dimmer Z-Wave Lamp is called “Fireplace Lights” in SmartThings. The following topics are published:</p>
+
+<table>
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      <th>Topic</th>
+      <th>Description</th>
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <td>smartthings/Fireplace Lights/level</td>
+      <td>Brightness (0-99)</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>smartthings/Fireplace Lights/switch</td>
+      <td>Switch State (on/off)</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+<p>Here is an example Home Assistant config:</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">switch</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+  <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">mqtt</span>
+  <span class="s">name</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">Fireplace</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">Lights"</span>
+  <span class="s">state_topic</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">smartthings/Fireplace</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">Lights/switch"</span>
+  <span class="s">command_topic</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">smartthings/Fireplace</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">Lights/switch"</span>
+  <span class="s">brightness_state_topic</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">smartthings/Fireplace</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">Lights/level"</span>
+  <span class="s">brightness_command_topic</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">smartthings/Fireplace</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">Lights/level"</span>
+  <span class="s">payload_on</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">on"</span>
+  <span class="s">payload_off</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">off"</span>
+  <span class="s">retain</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">true</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>We recommend <code class="highlighter-rouge">retain: true</code> for every MQTT device in order to keep states in sync when things become disconnected.</p>
+
+<p>Start digging through the <a href="/components/mqtt/">MQTT Components</a> in Home Assistant to find which components map to the new events being published to MQTT.</p>
+
+<h3>Configuring with Docker-Compose</h3>
+
+<p>Our personal preference for starting the whole suite of software is to use a single Docker-Compose file. Just create a file called <code class="highlighter-rouge">docker-compose.yml</code> like this:</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">mqtt</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+    <span class="s">image</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">matteocollina/mosca</span>
+    <span class="s">ports</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+        <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">1883:1883</span>
+
+<span class="s">mqttbridge</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+    <span class="s">image</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">stjohnjohnson/smartthings-mqtt-bridge</span>
+    <span class="s">volumes</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+        <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">./mqtt-bridge:/config</span>
+    <span class="s">ports</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+        <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">8080:8080</span>
+    <span class="s">links</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+        <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">mqtt</span>
+
+<span class="s">homeassistant</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+    <span class="s">image</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">homeassistant/home-assistant:latest</span>
+    <span class="s">ports</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+        <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">80:80</span>
+    <span class="s">volumes</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+        <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">./home-assistant:/config</span>
+        <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro</span>
+    <span class="s">links</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+        <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">mqtt</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>This will start home-assistant, MQTT, and the Bridge, in dependency order. All config can reference the name of the docker container instead of using IP addresses (e.g. mqtt for the broker host in Home Assistant).</p>
+
+<h3>How it works</h3>
+
+<p><strong>HTTP Endpoint</strong>: There are really only 2 ways to communicate with the SmartThings hub that we could find. The easiest approach is to create a RESTful SmartApp authenticated with OAuth that provides state changes via HTTP directly. This approach is pretty straightforward to implement, but it requires communication with the SmartThings cloud service, and can’t be done entirely on your LAN. We hoped to keep all communication internal, and came up with a second approach.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Custom Device Type:</strong> SmartThings custom device types allow developers to define handlers for HTTP events received directly over the local network by the SmartThings hub. Messages received are authenticated by MAC address, and can contain arbitrary strings in their payload. Since a Device Type is only ever tied to a single device, we need to add a SmartApp to the mix in order to translate events between individual devices and our special Home Assistant Bridge device. Here is what we have so far:</p>
+
+<div class="language-text highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>Z-Wave Switch        |
+Zigbee motion sensor |&lt;---&gt; Bridge App &lt;---&gt; Bridge Device Type &lt;---&gt; &lt;Local network&gt;
+Z-Wave light bulb    |
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>On the Home Assistant side, there is a powerful platform available based on the MQTT lightweight message bus protocol. Everything from lights to switches to temperature sensors can be defined in Home Assistant as an MQTT component, so it makes for a convenient integration point. This requires an MQTT broker for handling the message bus, and one last piece to translate between the HTTP that SmartThings supports and MQTT.</p>
+
+<p>Here is the final sequence of events:</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+  <a href="/images/blog/2016-02-smartthings/SmartThings-HomeAssistant.png">
+    <img src="/images/blog/2016-02-smartthings/SmartThings-HomeAssistant.png" alt="SmartThings Bridge Sequence" />
+  </a>
+  SmartThings Bridge Sequence
+</p>
+
+<p>There are a lot of stops along the way for these events, but each piece is a simple translation layer to shuttle the events between systems.</p>
+
+<h3>Future Improvements</h3>
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>Raspberry pi</strong>: There is a lot of interest in getting this running on the Raspberry Pi. It only requires binaries compiled for ARM, so we plan to get ARM-compatible versions of the containers going at some point.</li>
+  <li><strong>Authentication for MQTT</strong>: At the moment, the MQTT bridge doesn’t understand how to authenticate to MQTT, so only unauthenticated MQTT is supported. This is mitigated to some degree if you use our Docker Compose config, because MQTT’s port is not actually shared publicly.</li>
+  <li><strong>Authentication for MQTT Bridge</strong>: Right now the bridge expects that anyone subscribing is the SmartThings hub. This could use proper authentication.</li>
+</ul>

+  <p>The core of home automation is knowing what’s going on. The faster we know about a state change, the better we can serve the user. If you want to have your lights to turn on when you arrive at home, it doesn’t help if it only knows about it after you’ve already opened the door and manually (!!) turned on the light.</p>
+
+<p>Each smart device consists of the ‘normal’ device and the piece that makes it ‘smart’: the connectivity. The connectivity part of a device can consists of either control, state or both.</p>
+
+<p>State describes what a device is up to right now. For example, a light can be on with a red color and a medium brightness.</p>
+
+<p>Control is about controlling the smart device by sending commands via an API. These commands can vary from configuring how a device works till mimicking how a user would interact with a device. A media player can allow skipping to the next track and a sensor could allow to configure its sensitivity or polling interval.</p>
+
+<p>The Home Assistant APIs are setup to be as convenient as possible. However, a network is always as weak as it’s weakest link. In our case these are the integrations. Take for example controlling a light that does not report state. The only state Home Assistant can report on after sending a command is the assumed state: what do we expect the state of the light to be if the command worked.</p>
+
+<p>We want our users to get the best home automation experience out there and this starts with making sure they have devices that work well with Home Assistant. That’s why we will start applying the following classifiers to our integrations:</p>

+<p>The background to how we got to these classifiers can be read after the break.
+<a name="read-more"></a></p>
+
+<h2><a class="title-link" name="state" href="#state"></a> State</h2>
+
+<p>How state is communicated can be broken down into 5 categories. They are not mutually exclusive - a device state can be available both via the cloud and local connectivity.</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="no-state-available" href="#no-state-available"></a> No state available</h3>
+<p>These are devices that do not have the capabilities to make their state available. They only allow to be controlled. For example, devices with infrared remote controls like TVs and ACs. You can press the turn on button on the remote but can only assume that your command was received and executed successfully. The device might not be powered or something is blocking the infrared receiver.</p>
+
+<p>Home automation will have to approach such devices based on the assumption that it’s commands are received correctly: using optimistic updates. This means that after sending a command it will update the state of the device as if the command was received successfully.</p>
+
+<p>Advantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>None</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Disadvantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Home automation will assume the wrong state if the the command is not received correctly or if the device is controlled in any other way outside of the home automation system.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="polling-the-cloud" href="#polling-the-cloud"></a> Polling the cloud</h3>
+<p>These are devices that will only report their state to their own cloud backend. The cloud backend will allow reading the state but will not notify when a new state has arrived. This requires the home automation to check frequently if the state has been updated.</p>
+
+<p>Advantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Able to control devices while at home or away.</li>
+  <li>Cloud has access to more computing power to mine the device data to suggest optimizations to the user.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Disadvantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>It doesn’t work if the internet is down or the company stops support.</li>
+  <li>You are no longer in control about who has access to your data.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="cloud-pushing-new-state" href="#cloud-pushing-new-state"></a> Cloud pushing new state</h3>
+<p>All off the previous section applies to this one. On top of that the cloud will now notify the home automation when a new state has arrived. This means that as soon as the cloud knows, the home automation knows.</p>
+
+<p>Advantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>New state known as soon as available in the cloud.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="polling-the-local-device" href="#polling-the-local-device"></a> Polling the local device</h3>
+<p>These devices will offer an API that is locally accessible. The home automation will have to frequently check if the state has been updated.</p>
+
+<p>Advantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Does not depend on the internet</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Disadvantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>To be pollable, a device needs to be always online which requires the device to be connected to a power source.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="local-device-pushing-new-state" href="#local-device-pushing-new-state"></a> Local device pushing new state</h3>
+<p>The best of the best. These devices will send out a notice when they get to a new state. These devices usually use a home automation protocol to pass it’s message to a hub that will do the heavy lifting of managing and notifying subscribers</p>
+
+<p>Advantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Near instant delivery of new states.</li>
+  <li>Able to get a long battery life by going into deep sleep between state updates.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Disadvantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>If it does not also support polling, home automation will not be made aware of the state after booting up until it changes.</li>
+  <li>If using deep sleep and wifi, will suffer a delay when waking up because connecting to WiFi and receiving an IP takes time.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2><a class="title-link" name="control" href="#control"></a> Control</h2>
+
+<p>Controlling a device can, just like state, be done through cloud and/or local connectivity. But the more important part of control is knowing if your command was a success and the new state of the device.</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="no-control-available" href="#no-control-available"></a> No control available</h3>
+<p>These devices are not able to be controlled. They will only offer state.</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="poll-state-after-sending-command" href="#poll-state-after-sending-command"></a> Poll State after sending command</h3>
+<p>These devices will require the state to be polled after sending a command to see if a command was successfull.</p>
+
+<p>Advantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>The state will be known right after the command was issued.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Disadvantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>It can take time before the state gets updated. How often do we poll and how long do we wait till we consider the command failed? Also, a state may change because of other factors. Difficult to determine if the updated state is because of our command.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="device-pushes-state-update" href="#device-pushes-state-update"></a> Device pushes state update</h3>
+<p>These devices will not return a new state as a result of the command but instead will push a new state right away. The downside of this approach is that we have to assume that a state update coming in within a certain period of time after a command is related to the command.</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="command-returns-new-state" href="#command-returns-new-state"></a> Command returns new state</h3>
+<p>The very best. These devices will answer the command with the new state after executing the command.</p>
+
+<h2><a class="title-link" name="classifying-home-assistant" href="#classifying-home-assistant"></a> Classifying Home Assistant</h2>
+<p>Home Assistant tries to offer the best experience possible via its APIs. There are different ways of interacting with Home Assistant but all are local.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>State polling is available via the REST API</li>
+  <li>There is a stream API that will push new states as soon as they arrive to subscribers. This is how the frontend is able to always stay in sync.</li>
+  <li>Calling a service on Home Assistant will return all states that changed while the service was executing. This sadly does not always include the new state of devices that push their new state, as they might arrive after the service has finished.</li>
+</ul>

+  <p>The focus of 0.13 was on test coverage, big cheers to <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus/">@rmkraus</a> for his hard work on this. I’m proud to announce that we’ve hit the 90% test coverage of the core + important components. A big milestone for the project.</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+  <img src="/images/blog/2016-02-release-13/input_select__input_boolean__weblink.png" />
+  Examples of the new <a href="/components/input_select/">input_select</a> and <a href="/components/weblink/">weblink</a> components.
+</p>
+
+<p>Not only did we gain a lot of test coverage, we also attracted a lot of new developers that contributed a variety of components and platforms:</p>

+
+  <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>

+
+<h2>Staging</h2>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><a href="https://www.mopidy.com/">Install</a> Mopidy (2.0.0 or greater)</li>
+  <li><a href="https://github.com/badaix/snapcast/releases/">Download</a> and <a href="https://github.com/badaix/snapcast/tree/v0.5.0-beta-1#installation">Install</a> Snapcast (0.5.0 or greater)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Configure Mopidy</h2>
+
+<p>Mopidy can be run with multiple configuration files, each extending the previous file. This is helpful when we’re running multiple instances with varying functionality.</p>
+
+<h3>core.conf</h3>
+<p>The core configuration is shared between all instances:</p>
+
+<div class="language-conf highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>[<span class="n">mpd</span>]
+<span class="n">hostname</span> = ::
+
+[<span class="n">http</span>]
+<span class="n">hostname</span> = ::
+
+[<span class="n">audio</span>]
+<span class="n">output</span> = <span class="n">alsasink</span>
+
+[<span class="n">spotify</span>]
+<span class="n">username</span> = &lt;<span class="n">redacted</span>&gt;
+<span class="n">password</span> = &lt;<span class="n">redacted</span>&gt;
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<h3>local.conf</h3>
+<p>Add the local configuration on computers that have local media files:</p>
+
+<div class="language-conf highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>[<span class="n">local</span>]
+<span class="n">media_dir</span> = &lt;<span class="n">your</span>/<span class="n">music</span>/<span class="n">here</span>&gt;
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<h3>snapcast.conf</h3>
+<p>Finally, the Mopidy instance that connects with Snapcast needs special configuration. Run on a different port to avoid conflicts if you have a second Mopidy instance running on your computer. The audio output is sent to a named pipe - Snapcast will read from there. Note that you may have to adjust the audio output attribute depending on your system and audio sources.</p>
+
+<div class="language-conf highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>[<span class="n">mpd</span>]
+<span class="n">hostname</span> = ::
+<span class="n">port</span> = <span class="m">6601</span>
+
+[<span class="n">http</span>]
+<span class="n">hostname</span> = ::
+<span class="n">port</span> = <span class="m">6681</span>
+
+[<span class="n">audio</span>]
+<span class="n">output</span> = <span class="n">audioresample</span> ! <span class="n">audio</span>/<span class="n">x</span>-<span class="n">raw</span>,<span class="n">rate</span>=<span class="m">48000</span>,<span class="n">channels</span>=<span class="m">2</span>,<span class="n">format</span>=<span class="n">S16LE</span> ! <span class="n">audioconvert</span> ! <span class="n">wavenc</span> ! <span class="n">filesink</span> <span class="n">location</span>=/<span class="n">tmp</span>/<span class="n">snapfifo</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<h2>Run Mopidy</h2>
+
+<p>To run a room-specific instance:</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>mopidy --config <span class="nv">$CONF_DIR</span>/core.conf
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>To run a room-specific instance with local media:</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>mopidy --config <span class="nv">$CONF_DIR</span>/core.conf:<span class="nv">$CONF_DIR</span>/local.conf
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>To run the special Snapcast-connected instance (with local media):</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>mopidy --config <span class="nv">$CONF_DIR</span>/core.conf:<span class="nv">$CONF_DIR</span>/local.conf:<span class="nv">$CONF_DIR</span>/snapcast.conf
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<h2>Run Snapcast</h2>
+
+<p>Start the <code class="highlighter-rouge">snapserver</code> on the same server running Mopidy with the snapcast configuration.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>snapserver   <span class="c"># or use systemd</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Start the <code class="highlighter-rouge">snapclient</code> on computers that will be playing audio.</p>
+
+<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>snapclient   <span class="c"># or use systemd, add -h &lt;server host&gt; if necessary</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<h2>Configure Snapcast</h2>
+
+<p>There are a number of snapcast configuration options, but the one relevant to Home Assistant is the client names. You can set them in the snapserver configuration file, by default located at <code class="highlighter-rouge">~/.config/Snapcast/settings.json</code>. Only edit this file while the <code class="highlighter-rouge">snapserver</code> is not running. Modify the <code class="highlighter-rouge">name</code> JSON value to your liking - this is how the client will be named in Home Assistant.</p>
+
+<h2>Configure Home Assistant</h2>
+
+<p>Use the <a href="/components/media_player.mpd/">mpd</a> and <a href="/components/media_player.snapcast/">snapcast</a> components. Optionally, use <a href="/components/weblink/">weblink</a> to provide easy access to a Mopidy web UI.</p>

+  <p>Home Assistant land has been busy and a lot of people have been creating awesome stuff. We’ve added <a href="/cookbook/">a cookbook section</a> to the website full of examples how you can automate different things. Make sure you take a look and share your own recipes too!</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>
+</ul>

+
+<p>Contributor Maddox has created a plugin for HomeBridge, an open-source HomeKit bridge. This will allow you to control your home using Siri on your Apple devices. HomeBridge has recently restructured so you’ll have to install the plugin separately with the homebridge-homeassistant npm package.</p>

+  <p>Two weeks has past so here is 0.15! We have been focussing a lot on quality. Making sure the system is more stable and reliable. I usually try to highlight one cool thing in the release notes but this release has 4 exciting announcements!</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> has upgraded the codebase to follow the PEP257 documentation standard.</li>
+  <li><a href="https://github.com/PartOfTheThing">@partofthething</a> has migrated us to use the main Python Open Z-Wave library instead of our forked version.</li>
+  <li>To make our automations more powerful, <a href="https://github.com/persandstrom">@persandstrom</a> added the option to use templates to dynamically create service calls. This works for automation, Alexa, universal media player, template switch. <a href="/topics/service_calls/#use-templates-to-decide-which-service-to-call">Learn more.</a></li>
+  <li><a href="https://github.com/MartinHjelmare">@MartinHjelmare</a> has upgraded our scene support to now support all built-in services and components.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Besides bug fixes, this release also brings:</p>

+  <p>Party people, 0.16 is here! The big thing with this release is that we have completely removed the barrier to get started by MQTT by being able to launch an embedded MQTT server: <a href="https://github.com/beerfactory/hbmqtt">hbMQTT</a>. Just add <code class="highlighter-rouge">mqtt:</code> to your config and a broker is launched and connected with Home Assistant. See the <a href="/components/mqtt/#use-the-embedded-broker">documentation</a> for more info.</p>
+
+<p>Further in this release a bunch of cool new stuff, bug fixes and rewrites for the Vera and Tellstick component (see breaking changes section at bottom for this!).</p>
+
+<p>Rock on.</p>

+
+  <p>Today the news spread that Google will be <a href="https://medium.com/@arlogilbert/the-time-that-tony-fadell-sold-me-a-container-of-hummus-cb0941c762c1#.rmppks86a">shutting down the Revolv hubs</a>. And shutting down here doesn’t mean they stop selling or supporting them - no, they are sending an update to each hub to turn your perfectly fine home automation hub into a useless piece of plastic. The fact that this seemed like a good idea by Google astonishes me. If anything, they should have gone the same route as <a href="https://discuss.ninjablocks.com/t/ninja-blocks-whats-been-happening-whats-happening-next/3608">ninjasphere</a>: open it all up and let people decide on the fate of their <em>own</em> hub.</p>
+
+<p>I’ve said it <a href="/blog/2016/01/19/perfect-home-automation/#your-system-should-run-at-home-not-in-the-cloud">before</a> but I’ll repeat it again:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+  <p>The cloud should be treated as an extension to your smart home instead of running it.</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Your hub should not be affected when your internet breaks down or the company that sold you your hub goes out of business. It should work locally so that it can continue to work even long after the vendor goes out of business or decides to kill it. Preferably, your hub should also be open so that the community can take over development after the vendor stops caring.</p>
+
+<p>Unless you can afford losing a product here and there, be cautious when buying IoT products that depend on the cloud from companies that are not well established. The chances are high that they go bankrupt or get acquired and closed. This however is easier said than done as <a href="http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2869521">Gartner</a> predicts that by 2017, 50 percent of IoT solutions will originate in startups that are less than three years old.</p>

+  <p>The frontend of Home Assistant is served with the help of a local web server. If you have <a href="/getting-started/devices/#customizing-devices-and-services">customized</a> your installation you already use this functionality. The content of your folder <code class="highlighter-rouge">www</code> in your Home Assistant configuration directory (<code class="highlighter-rouge">.homeassistant</code>) is available under <code class="highlighter-rouge">/local</code> (eg. <a href="https://localhost:8123/local">https://localhost:8123/local</a>).</p>
+
+<p>But there is more you can do! You can not only host images for customization there but HTML files or even web applications including CSS and Javascript.</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+<img src="/images/blog/2016-04-display/ha-display.png" />
+</p>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<p>In the past the buzz word “Smart mirror” was used a couple of times in our <a href="https://gitter.im/balloob/home-assistant">chatroom</a> and even made it into the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/1392">issue tracker</a>. The existing solutions (<a href="http://docs.smart-mirror.io/">Smart mirror</a>, <a href="http://michaelteeuw.nl/tagged/magicmirror">MagicMirror</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/HannahMitt/HomeMirror">HomeMirror</a>) seems to be overkill if you already have Home Assistant running somewhere in your house or apartment. Why not simple display a web page served by Home Assistant on the tablet? No app and no Raspberry Pi running in the background.</p>
+
+<p>There are plenty of ways to achieve this…<a href="/developers/rest_api/">RESTful API</a>, <a href="/developers/python_api/">Python API</a>, or one of the <a href="/components/#history">history components</a>. If it is to be a web page I’m using the <a href="/components/mqtt_eventstream/">MQTT Eventstream component</a> and <a href="http://git.eclipse.org/c/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.javascript.git/tree/src">mqttws31.js</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hbmqtt">HBMQTT</a> broker provides websockets support for MQTT and mqttws31.js included in web page gives you access to the MQTT messages. It’s a matter of minutes. OK, it took a little longer because I’m not a Javascript guy to create the software part that will show details about your environment. The source is available at <a href="https://github.com/fabaff/home-assistant-display">https://github.com/fabaff/home-assistant-display</a> and the screenshot above shows the result. I guess that every person who is familiar with Javascript would be able to reduce the amount of code and to make it more flexible. Well, it’s a only prototype and showcase to include an image in this blog post.</p>
+
+<p>I hope that this little article could give you an idea of extending Home Assistant in an unconventional way.</p>

+  <p>Another awesome release ready to hit your homes. YAML can be hard for beginners and more experienced automators. So to help catch those pesky errors that sneak into your files we’ve been hard at work to introduce config validation! Especially huge thanks to <a href="https://github.com/jaharkes/">@jaharkes</a> for his hard work on this. Config validation is still in it’s early stages. More common platforms and components have been added but we didn’t do everything yet.</p>
+
+<p>When we encounter an invalid config we will now write a warning to your logs. You can see those in the frontend by clicking on the last developer tool. We’re looking into options to make it more clear - it is a work in progress.</p>
+
+<p>Another big thing is the addition of GTFS support. You probably don’t know it, but GTFS is the standard that public transit companies all over the world use to distribute their schedule. This means that you can now have the time of the next bus/train/etc right in your frontend.</p>

+<h3>Breaking changes</h3>
+
+<p>As of now we are not aware of any breaking changes. However, it might be that Home Assistant will not start for you because of an invalid configuration. A common mistake that people are making is that they are still referring to <code class="highlighter-rouge">execute_service</code> in their script configs. This should be <code class="highlighter-rouge">service</code>.</p>

+
+  <p>One of the main complaints that we receive is something along the lines “I read that X is possible yet I am unable to find it on the website.”. This post is to announce that we have taken the first steps to improve it by revamping the <a href="/getting-started/">getting started</a> and <a href="/developers/">developers</a> sections. It’s still a work in progress but we now have a solid foundation to build on for the future 👍.</p>
+
+<p>Our documentation has been going through various phases. Initially it was just the README in our GitHub repository. I discovered Jekyll and GitHub pages in December 2014 and created home-assistant.io. I more or less broke the README in 5 pages and <a href="/blog/2014/12/18/website-launched/">called it a website</a>. Back then we had a whopping <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/blob/86bb2df430ce267ab2123d51592d3f068ae509b5/source/components/index.markdown">11 components</a>.</p>
+
+<p>As Home Assistant grew, so did our documentation. <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">Fabian Affolter</a> does an amazing job in making sure there is at least a documentation stub for each new feature that lands. And that’s quite a feat given our <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/categories/release-notes/">frequent releases</a>! But despite all the efforts, the documentation outgrew our existing documentation organisation.</p>
+
+<p>Today it has been almost 1.5 years since we started the website. We now have <a href="/components/">264 components and platforms</a> under our belt and have been honored with 1.5 million page views ✨. And hopefully we now also have documentation that our community deserves.</p>
+
+<p>Finally, if you see some content that could use more clarifcation or is outdated, don’t hesitate to use the ‘Edit in GitHub’ link that is present on each page.</p>

+
+  <p>After 2.5 years I think we can proudly say: Home Assistant is a success. I write <em>we</em> because Home Assistant is no longer a one-person side project. It has become the side project of many people who spend countless hours on making Home Assistant the best home automation software out there. To acknowledge this we migrated the repositories from being under my name to be under our own <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/">organisation on GitHub</a>.</p>
+
+<p>On our journey we’ve reached many noteworthy milestones:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>#1 on HackerNews</li>
+  <li>Featured on ProductHunt</li>
+  <li>Trending repository on GitHub</li>
+  <li>3000 stars on GitHub</li>
+  <li>1.5 million page views on our website</li>
+  <li>Speaker at OpenIoT Summit 2016</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>All these accomplishments are a nice pat on the back but our journey is far from over. There are a lot of challenges ahead if we want to become the go to solution for home automation <em>for everyone</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Until now the focus has been on making a platform that developers love to use. A platform that is simple but customizable. A platform that is both powerful and reliable. But most important: a platform that is local and open. Home Assistant does a great job at all these things.</p>
+
+<p>There will be some major challenges ahead of us to target groups other than developers. Easy installation and easy configuration being the #1. I’m sure that we’ll be able to eventually achieve these goals. I can’t say yet how or when. As with everything Home Assistant, we’ll take tiny steps, gathering feedback along the way to make sure we’re solving the right problems.</p>
+
+<p>I am confident that we will get there because we are set up for success: we have a robust architecture, high test coverage and an active community of world class developers and users. On top of that, we use Python which allows us to move fast and tackle complex problems in elegant ways. It is so easy to learn that it allows any programmer, experienced or not, to contribute support for devices and services. It’s as simple as <a href="/developers/platform_example_sensor/#code">filling in the blanks</a>.</p>
+
+<p>I would like to put out a big thank you to all our contributors who make Home Assistant what it is today. It doesn’t matter if it is form of code, documentation or giving support in our <a href="https://gitter.im/home-assistant/home-assistant">chat room</a> or <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/">forums</a>. You. all. rock.</p>
+
+<p>Cheers to the future!</p>
+
+<p>Paulus</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 class="highlighter-rouge">TEMP_CELCIUS</code> is now correctly called <code class="highlighter-rouge">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 class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant/home-assistant:latest</code> for the latest release and <code class="highlighter-rouge">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 class="highlighter-rouge">port:</code> under <code class="highlighter-rouge">gateways</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">device:</code>.</li>
+    </ol>

+
+  <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>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="getting-started" href="#getting-started"></a> Getting Started</h3>
+
+<p>To do this you first need to set up <a href="/components/mqtt/#picking-a-broker">MQTT</a> and <a href="/components/device_tracker.owntracks/">OwnTracks</a> in Home assistant - and make sure that HA can track your phone.</p>
+
+<p>You then have to (A) tell Home Assistant where the beacon is located and (B) tell OwnTracks to recognise the beacon.</p>
+
+<h4><a class="title-link" name="a-tell-home-assistant-where-your-beacon-is-located" href="#a-tell-home-assistant-where-your-beacon-is-located"></a> A. Tell Home Assistant where your beacon is located</h4>
+
+<p>You tell HomeAssistant about fixed locations by creating a Zone with the longitude and latitude of your beacon. You should also give the zone a name which you will also use when you set up OwnTracks. An an example this zone specifies the location of my drive way.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Example <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> entry</strong></p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>
+<span class="s">zone</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+    <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">name</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s1">'</span><span class="s">Drive'</span>
+      <span class="s">latitude</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">XXX</span>
+      <span class="s">longitude</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">YYY</span>
+      <span class="s">radius</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">100</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>The radius isn’t used by the beacon code, but it is used by the GPS location sensing code. I’ll come back to this a little later. For now just use 50 or 100.</p>
+
+<p>Once you’ve created the zone - you need to restart HA. The next step is:-</p>
+
+<h4><a class="title-link" name="b-tell-owntracks-to-track--your-beacon" href="#b-tell-owntracks-to-track--your-beacon"></a> B. Tell OwnTracks to track  your beacon</h4>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>Go to the OwnTracks app on your phone</li>
+  <li>Touch the <code class="highlighter-rouge">Regions</code> menu at the bottom of the screen</li>
+  <li>Touch the <code class="highlighter-rouge">+</code> symbol at the top right of the screen</li>
+  <li>Give the beacon a name e.g. <code class="highlighter-rouge">-drive</code> ’(start the name with a <code class="highlighter-rouge">-</code> see below for the reason)</li>
+  <li>Turn Share to <code class="highlighter-rouge">On</code></li>
+  <li>Skip the <code class="highlighter-rouge">Circular Region</code> section</li>
+  <li>Enter the <code class="highlighter-rouge">UUID</code> of your beacon - this may be written on your beacon - or you can copy it from the management app that came with your iBeacon device. It’s a long number – so it’s easier to copy if you can!</li>
+  <li>Enter the <code class="highlighter-rouge">Minor</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">Major</code> numbers for your iBeacon - or leave them at 0 which will match all beacons with that <code class="highlighter-rouge">UUID</code></li>
+</ol>
+
+<p class="img">
+  <img width="200" border="2" src="/images/blog/2016-04-ibeacons/owntracks_beacon_setup.png" />
+</p>
+
+<p>Once you’ve added the iBeacon - you should be able to see it on the OwnTracks region screen. If your phone can see the packets from that beacon, OwnTracks will turn the relevant Region red.</p>
+
+<p class="img">
+  <img width="200" src="/images/blog/2016-04-ibeacons/owntracks_red_beacon.png" />
+</p>
+
+<p>When OwnTracks sees the beacon (and turns the region red), it also sends an MQTT packet to HA to say that you have entered that region.</p>
+
+<p>The result of the configuration above would be to set the location of device.phone to <code class="highlighter-rouge">Drive</code> , (and the GPS location to XXX,YYY) when your phone sees the beacon.</p>
+
+<p>So with the steps above you should be able to improve the reliability of tracking your phone - and send timely updates to HA. I did this for my home - and the lights now turn on before I reach the house on foot. If I arrive by car they turn on within a few seconds of arriving, before I can get to the front door.</p>
+
+<p>I’m also pleased to say I no longer get an <em>arrive home</em> event at 2am that turns the lights on. I hope I’ve convinced you that iBeacons are worth trying!</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="mixing-beacons-and-gps-locations" href="#mixing-beacons-and-gps-locations"></a> Mixing Beacons and GPS locations</h3>
+
+<p>You will probably use beacons to make entry into your existing GPS zones more reliable. By default either a beacon or a GPS location can cause you to enter a zone - and HA has some logic that should make them two work well together (it ignores GPS updates when you’re in an iBeacon Zone).</p>
+
+<p>However you can also use beacons for situations where GPS doesn’t work well.</p>
+
+<p>This might be because the zones are too close together - or even on top of each other!
+For example, my wife works next door - and I couldn’t detect whether she’s at home or in the office via GPS because the accuracy wasn’t high enough. However I can do this by using two beacons.</p>
+
+<p>To make this type of presence detection work you need to turn GPS off for a zone in Home Assistant by making them <code class="highlighter-rouge">passive</code>. This is important because otherwise HA will try to decide between two close together zones without enough data. This doesn’t work well.</p>
+
+<p>A passive zone can only be entered via an iBeacon, so a GPS location update will always pick the other zone.</p>
+
+<p>I set up my Home zone to be a standard region, and my office zone to be passive, so the home zone can be entered in the normal way via either GPS or a Beacon.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Example <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> entry</strong></p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>
+<span class="s">zone</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+    <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">name</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s1">'</span><span class="s">Office'</span>
+      <span class="s">latitude</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">XXX</span>
+      <span class="s">longitude</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">YYY</span>
+      <span class="s">radius</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">3</span>
+      <span class="s">passive</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">true</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>You could use this technique to try to detect which room someone is in. This might allow you to notice whether someone is in the living room or the bedroom - even though one is above the other (although beacon packets do pass through walls and floors).</p>
+
+<p>To get this to work you’ll probably need to experiment with the beacon signal strength to try to match the beacon reception area to the location you want to track. Let me know if you get this to work (it doesn’t make sense in my open plan house)</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="conclusion" href="#conclusion"></a> Conclusion</h3>
+
+<p>Presence tracking sounds easy - and it’s an important part of Home Automation. Trying it shows how difficult it is to get presence detection right.  I’ve found that iBeacons have improved the reliability and timeliness of knowing where I am, and I hope I encouraged you to try them too.</p>
+
+<h3><a class="title-link" name="tips" href="#tips"></a> Tips</h3>
+
+<p>You can find out more about configuring the OwnTracks application and beacons <a href="http://owntracks.org/booklet/features/beacons/">here</a></p>
+
+<p>There is information about configuring Homeassistant to use beacons <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.owntracks/">here</a></p>
+
+<h4><a class="title-link" name="connections-and-disconnecting" href="#connections-and-disconnecting"></a> Connections and disconnecting</h4>
+
+<p>Owntracks treats a region name with a leading <code class="highlighter-rouge">-</code> as a hint that it shouldn’t disconnect after a single missed packet. This improves the ability to keep a connection to a beacon.</p>
+
+<p>However, even when using this feature I’ve noticed that you can still lose connections (although it seems to vary by beacon manufacturer and type - I’ll talk more about this in <em>part 2</em>). This means that it’s best to take into account that you may see false enter/leave events in HA. You may be able to improve this by changing how often the beacons send packets - and by increasing the signal strength (both will drain your beacon batteries more quickly). You can usually change these parameters in the app supplied by the iBeacon maker. You can also find some high power beacons (which have worked well for me).</p>
+
+<p>In automations you can use a <code class="highlighter-rouge">for:</code> to avoid triggering during a brief disconnect, or use a script with a delay. Stay tuned for <em>part 2</em> for an example of this.</p>
+
+<h4><a class="title-link" name="using-multiple-beacons-for-the-same-zone" href="#using-multiple-beacons-for-the-same-zone"></a> Using Multiple beacons for the same Zone</h4>
+<p>iBeacons have a <code class="highlighter-rouge">UUID</code> (usually set to the same value for beacons from the same manufacturer), as well as a <code class="highlighter-rouge">minor</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">major</code> number. If you set two beacons to have exactly same details then OwnTracks will think multiple beacons are at the same location.</p>
+
+<p>This means you can have more than one beacon around your home - and a connection to any of them will count as <code class="highlighter-rouge">home</code> to OwnTracks and HA. This reduces disconnections.</p>
+
+<p>You can achieve the same effect by using the same the same <code class="highlighter-rouge">UUID</code> but different <code class="highlighter-rouge">major</code> / <code class="highlighter-rouge">minor</code> numbers - and tell OwnTracks not to worry about the <code class="highlighter-rouge">minor</code> / <code class="highlighter-rouge">major</code> numbers for a particular region by setting them to 0).</p>

+
+  <p>This release is big. Until now, our automations and scripts have been very static. Starting today it should all be a bit more dynamic.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Scripts</strong> are now available in automations and when responding to Alexa/Amazon Echo. Both of these components will now expose data to be used in script templates (including <code class="highlighter-rouge">from_state</code> !). Passing data to script entities is available by passing the data to the script services.</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">automation</span><span class="pi">:</span>
+  <span class="s">trigger</span><span class="pi">:</span>

+
+<p><strong>Entity Namespaces</strong> allow you to influence the entity ids for a specific platform. For example you can turn <code class="highlighter-rouge">light.living_room</code> into <code class="highlighter-rouge">light.holiday_home_living_room</code> with the following config:</p>
+
+<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">light</span><span class="pi">:</span>

+
+
+  <p>I’ve been planning to write this post for a while now as we get questions like this a lot: <em>“Why does Home Assistant use Polymer? Why not React, Redux and what not?”</em></p>
+
+<p>It’s understandable, Polymer is quite the underdog in the world of web frameworks. A corporate backer does not guarantee popularity or an active community and this shows in the number of projects using Polymer.</p>
+
+<p>Still, <a href="https://home-assistant.io/demo">we use Polymer and it’s awesome</a>. To explain why, I’ll be referencing the React workflow quite a bit, as they do a lot of things right, and show how it is done in Polymer.</p>
+
+<p>Polymer gives us components for the web, just like React, but based on web standards: <a href="https://www.w3.org/standards/techs/components#w3c_all">web components</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-variables/">CSS variables</a>. These standards don’t have wide browser support yet but it’s being implemented by every major browser: It’s the future. For now they are being polyfilled and that works just fine but in the future the Home Assistant web app will be able to run native in the browsers == fast.</p>
+
+<a name="read-more"></a>
+
+<p>Polymer does not have the nice developer experience that one can have with React and the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi?hl=en">React Dev Tools</a> but that’s a matter of time. The developer tools in every browser have seen a lot of improvements recently and each improvement helps support for web components.</p>
+
+<p>Another major benefit of Polymer for Home Assistant is that we get <a href="https://elements.polymer-project.org/browse?package=paper-elements">material design for free</a>. 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.</p>
+
+<p>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 <a href="https://optimizely.github.io/nuclear-js/">NuclearJS</a> with our <a href="http://paulusschoutsen.nl/blog/2015/07/using-polymer-with-flux-and-a-global-app-state/">own Polymer bindings</a>. 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 <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant-react-native-ios">React Native frontend for on top of our core</a>.</p>
+
+<p>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 (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer#building-the-app">more info here</a>). 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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>So there it is, the reason why we use Polymer.</p>
