<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>Today we’re introducing the next step in the Home Assistant saga: the Home Assistant Cloud. The goal of the Home Assistant Cloud is to bridge the gap between your local Home Assistant instance and services in the cloud while delivering the maximum possible security and privacy.</p>
<p>The first service that is supported via the Home Assistant Cloud is the Amazon Alexa Smart Home skill. This integration will allow you to control all your devices in Home Assistant via Amazon Alexa. You will be able to say <em>“Alexa, turn on the kitchen lights”</em> and your local Home Assistant will turn on the lights. Because Alexa talks to Home Assistant, it doesn’t matter what kind of lights they are! Anything that is linked to Home Assistant will work. IKEA lights, a 10 year old X10 switch or something you’ve made yourself. As long as Home Assistant can control it, you can control it via Alexa.</p>
<p>We have designed the Home Assistant Cloud with security in mind. When you activate the new Cloud component, your instance will setup a secure connection to the Home Assistant Cloud. Alexa will deliver messages to our cloud which we will forward to your local instance for processing. We just forward the response back to Alexa. This means that we do not have to store the state of your house in our cloud, we’re just the messenger!</p>
<p>We are making the beta of the Home Assistant Cloud publicly available today. During the beta period the Home Assistant Cloud will be free to use. We are currently planning to run a beta till March 1, 2018 0:00 UTC. Once the beta ends, the Home Assistant Cloud will be part of our Community Support package which will run at $5 USD/month.</p>
<p>By subscribing to the Community Support package you will show your support for the Home Assistant organization, its projects and its community. It will help fund development, cover our operating costs and gives you access to use Home Assistant Cloud.</p>
<p>So if you ever felt like donating money to support the development of Home Assistant and Hass.io: sign up for the Home Assistant Cloud!</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="why-not-take-donations" href="#why-not-take-donations"></a> Why not take donations?</h3>
<p>With donations you have to convince people to keep donating and it will be hard to plan around the amount of available money. The biggest concern is what do you do when there is not enough money. We could shut down the servers or again depend on the wallets of our developers. We could run Wikipedia style advertisements for donating, but those are even more annoying than running advertisements.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="getting-started" href="#getting-started"></a> Getting started</h2>
<p>Upgrade Home Assistant to 0.60 and enable the <a href="/components/cloud/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">cloud</code></a> and <a href="/components/config/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">config</code></a> components:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">cloud</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">config</span><span class="pi">:</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Now restart Home Assistant and navigate to the configuration panel. It will offer a new cloud section. Here you can create an account and login. Once logged in, your instance will connect to the cloud.</p>
<p>The next step is to configure Alexa. This can be done by enabling the Home Assistant skill for Alexa and link your Home Assistant cloud account.</p>
<p>Once you’re done, ask Alexa to discover devices (“Alexa, discover devices”) and you are all set to control them: “Alexa, turn on &lt;device name&gt;”.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="faq" href="#faq"></a> FAQ</h2>
<p><strong>Will Home Assistant and Hass.io remain open source?</strong></p>
<p>Yes. Yes. Yes! Home Assistant is the work of hundreds of developers all working together in creating something amazing. The only thing that will require a subscription is the optional cloud functionality.</p>
<p><strong>What other features will come to the cloud?</strong></p>
<p>We have a lot of ideas! We are not going to make any promises but here are some things that we’re looking into:</p>
<ul>
<li>Google Home / Google Assistant Smart Home skill</li>
<li>Allow easy linking of other cloud services to Home Assistant. No more local juggling with OAuth flows. For example, link your Fitbit account and the Fitbit component will show up in Home Assistant.</li>
<li>Encrypted backups of your Hass.io data</li>
<li>Text to speech powered by AWS Polly</li>
<li>Generic HTTP cloud endpoint for people to send messages to their local instance. This will allow people to build applications on - top of the Home Assistant cloud.</li>
<li>IFTTT integration</li>
<li>Alexa shopping list integration</li>
</ul>

<p>The biggest change for 0.60 will be covered in a separate <a href="/blog/2017/12/17/introducing-home-assistant-cloud/">blog post</a>. Thus, we will keep it short here. Just one thing: This is the last release in 2017. We will be back to our bi-weekly release cycle in 2018.</p>
<p>A big “Thank you” to all people who supported us to make this release possible.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="twincat" href="#twincat"></a> TwinCAT</h2>
<p>With the brand-new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/ads/">ADS (automation device specification)</a> component by <a href="https://github.com/stlehmann">@stlehmann</a> allows you to hook Home Assistant into this fieldbus independent interface which is often used between Beckhoff devices running with TwinCAT.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="webdav-calendar" href="#webdav-calendar"></a> WebDav calendar</h2>
<p>Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/maxlaverse">@maxlaverse</a> Home Assistant support now <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/calendar.caldav/">WebDav calendars</a>.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="tracking-prices" href="#tracking-prices"></a> Tracking prices</h2>
<p>With the new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.gearbest/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">gearbest</code> sensor</a> there is now an additional sensor available to track the price of a product.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="financial-details" href="#financial-details"></a> Financial details</h2>
<p>Yahoo! has discontinued their financial service. To fill this gap we have now the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.alpha_vantage/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">alpha_vantage</code> sensor</a> which is intruded in this release and allows you to monitor the stock market.</p>

<p>If you are planning to host a Home Assistant meetup or doing a talk, then you probably want to show Home Assistant to an audience. You could use a Wireless router, bulbs, switches, and a single board computer to do a realistic demo. For a workshop, this is what I usually do because I think that working with physical hardware is more fun for the participants. The issue is that you need time to set up, power and space. For a talk or in a location, where you only have a beamer and a table or a lectern, the physical hardware approach is not very convenient.</p>
<p>The simplest way to show Home Assistant to others is the online demo at <a href="https://home-assistant.io/demo/">https://home-assistant.io/demo/</a></p>

<p>This blog post is about building a super simple analog sensor for Home Assistant. The physical sensor will send the data over its virtual serial port as it will be connected over USB. The concept is similar to the <a href="/components/sensor.temper/">TEMPer USB</a> devices. The attatched sensor type to the microcontroller can be any kind of sensor which gives you an analog signal from brightness over soil moisture to temperature.</p>
<p>The microcontroller will only transfer the voltage of an analog input pin which will be between 0 and 1024. Home Assistant will use the new <a href="/components/sensor.serial/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">serial</code></a> sensor platform to read the data and perform actions to convert the raw reading into a real measurement. This means that you don’t have to adjust the code of your microcontroller if you change the attached sensor type.</p>
