<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>Welcome to 2017 and 0.36. We are proud to announce the first release for this year. While we are still migrating parts to async but 0.36 is focusing on new features and a lot of bug fixes.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="packages" href="#packages"></a> Packages</h3>
<p><a href="https://home-assistant.io/topics/packages/">Packages</a> are providing a new way to organize different component’s configuration parts together. With packages we offer the option to include different components or parts of configuration using any of the <code class="highlighter-rouge">!include</code> directives.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="influxdb-export" href="#influxdb-export"></a> InfluxDB export</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/influxdb/">InfluxDB</a> component was causing problems in a wide variety of use cases. <a href="https://github.com/titilambert">@titilambert</a> improved our InfluxDB exporter feature. It might be that you need to run the <a href="/components/influxdb/#migration-script">migration script</a> to update your InfluxDB database.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>hass --script influxdb_migrator <span class="se">\</span>
-H IP_INFLUXDB_HOST -u INFLUXDB_USERNAME -p INFLUXDB_PASSWORD <span class="se">\</span>
-d INFLUXDB_DB_NAME
</code></pre>
</div>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="international-space-station-iss" href="#international-space-station-iss"></a> International Space Station (ISS)</h3>
<p>No, unfortunately we are not going to space. The <code class="highlighter-rouge">iss</code> sensor is tracking the position of the International Space Station and gives you some details.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="insteon-local" href="#insteon-local"></a> Insteon local</h3>
<p>The support for Insteon was removed due to issues a while ago. With the <code class="highlighter-rouge">insteon_local</code> component support for <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/insteon_local/">Insteon</a> is back and let one work locally with an Insteon setup.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="image-processing" href="#image-processing"></a> Image processing</h3>
<p>The new <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/image_processing/">image processing component</a> currently works with <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/openalpr/">number plates</a>. But this could level the way to integrate feature like facial recognition, motion detection, or gestures control.</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="breaking-changes" href="#breaking-changes"></a> Breaking changes</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/notify.apns/">APNS</a> service was moved to the <code class="highlighter-rouge">notify</code> domain. Use <code class="highlighter-rouge">notify.apns_NOTIFIER_NAME</code> instead of <code class="highlighter-rouge">apns.NOTIFIER_NAME</code>.</li>
<li><a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/influxdb/">InfluxDB</a> component has a new <a href="/components/influxdb/#data-migration">schema</a> to store values in the InfluxDB database. You may require to run the <a href="/components/influxdb/#migration-script"><code class="highlighter-rouge">influxdb_migrator</code></a> script.
You have to note:
<ul>
<li>There will not be any tags/fields named time anymore.</li>
<li>All numeric fields (int/float/bool) will be stored as float inside influx db.</li>
<li>All string fields corresponding to state attributes will be renamed as FIELDNAME_str, where FIELDNAME is the state attribute, to avoid type conflicts.</li>
<li>All string fields corresponding to a state will be renamed as state (former value).</li>
<li>Fields named value will always be stored as float.</li>
<li>Fields named state will always be stored as string.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>TTS cache files use now the language abbreviation as part of the name. If you want to use the cache, it need to be renamed or cleared, new created. E. g. <code class="highlighter-rouge">HASH_PLATFORM.xxx</code> -&gt; <code class="highlighter-rouge">HASH_LANG_PLATFORM.xxx</code>.</li>

<p>Hello and Happy New Year!</p>
<p>I am not Paulus. My name is Ben. I’m the creator of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLecVrux63S6aYiErxdiy4w">BRUH Automation YouTube channel</a>. If you’ve ever seen any of my videos then you’ll know I love home automation and Home Assistant.</p>
<p>I wanted to share some exciting stats from one of my latest projects - <a href="https://github.com/bruhautomation/BRUH-Christmas-Tree-2016">Control My Christmas tree!</a> For this project, I created a Home Assistant instance on a Raspberry Pi 2 that was publicly accessible via DuckDNS. Paulus was great in helping me disable several of the developer services that could have been exploited to disable the Home Assistant instance.</p>
<p>I added three devices to the Home Assistant instance - a Wemo Insight, Sonoff Switch (running MQTT firmware), and a DIY MQTT Digital LED strip. After adding a few 3D printed Star War decorations, the tree was ready to go!</p>

<p>Home Assistant will join this year for <a href="https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/">Hacktoberfest</a>, an event organised by DigitalOcean and GitHub to support and celebrate open source. The idea is that open source projects like Home Assistant will gather a bunch of entry-level bugs, features and documentation enhancements and that you, a current or future contributor, will fix them. If you submit four pull-requests during the month of October you will have earned yourself a limited edition Hacktoberfest T-shirt!</p>
<p>Why contribute to Home Assistant:</p>
<ul>
<li>Written in Python3 with 94% test coverage</li>
<li>Active and helpful community</li>
<li>Friendly to new contributors</li>

<p>Today we’re happy to announce our brand new Raspberry Pi image! It is based on Raspbian Lite combined with HASS so we decided to call it Hassbian.</p>
<p>This image comes pre-installed with everything you need to get started with Home Assistant right away.</p>
<p>To get started, check out the installation instructions in <a href="/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi-image/">the getting started section</a> or watch the latest video by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLecVrux63S6aYiErxdiy4w">BRUHAutomation</a>:</p>
<div class="videoWrapper">
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iIz6XqDwHEk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
</div>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="under-the-hood" href="#under-the-hood"></a> Under the hood</h3>
<p>It’s based on Raspbian Lite and generated with a fork of the same <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/pi-gen">script</a> that builds the <a href="https://raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/">official Raspbian images</a>. For installation of HASS it follows the same install instructions as the <a href="/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi/">Manual installation</a>. Please note that this project has no association with the Raspberry Pi foundation or their projects.</p>
<p>On first boot the latest release of Home Assistant will be installed and can be reached after 3~5 minutes. Pre-installed on this image is the MQTT broker <a href="https://mosquitto.org/">Mosquitto</a>, Bluetooth support and settings for the <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant</code> account to use the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi. Mosquitto is not activated by default.</p>
<p>As it is today there is no pre-compiled Z-Wave support but it can be installed by following the <a href="/getting-started/z-wave/">Getting started instructions for Z-Wave</a>.</p>
<p>Happy Automating!</p>
