<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>

<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>Today I’ll show you how I used Home Assistant, a NodeMCU (ESP8266), and a couple of accelerometers to automate our laundry room. This is a rewrite of an <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2015/08/26/laundry-automation-with-moteino-mqtt-and-home-assistant/">old post</a> where I did the same thing using a Moteino &amp; Raspberry Pi. This version only requires a NodeMCU.</p>
<p>We have an older washer and dryer which doesn’t have any form of notification when cycles complete. Home Assistant was the obvious solution, I just needed to create sensors for the washer and dryer. I tried using sound sensors but found them unreliable. I ended up using 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 whether they’re open or closed. I connected the accelerometers and reed switches to an NodeMCU which will relay the data to my MQTT broker.</p>

<p>When Home Assistant started the focus has always been on making a great developer experience. Allowing anyone to add support for their favorite devices to Home Assistant easily. This focus has been a great success since we now have 339 components and platforms!</p>
<p>Starting with this release, we are extending our extensability to the frontend. Starting this release, any component can <a href="/developers/frontend_creating_custom_panels/">add it’s own page to the frontend</a>. Examples of this today are the map, logbook and history. We are looking forward to all the crazy panels you’ll come up with!</p>
<p>We have also seen an exciting trend of people starting to visualize their Internet of Things data using <a href="http://jupyter.org/">Jupyter</a> Notebooks, which are a great way to create and share documents that contain code, visualizations, and explanatory text. In case you missed it, the <a href="/blog/2016/07/23/internet-of-things-data-exploration-with-jupyter-notebooks/">blog</a> post by <a href="https://github.com/kireyeu">@kireyeu</a> shows an advanced usecase while our <a href="/cookbook/#jupyter-notebooks">Notebooks</a> in the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-notebooks">Home Assistant Notebooks repository</a> cover the basics.</p>
<p>This release also includes a bunch of new integrations, among others three new media player platforms. This means that today Home Assistant can talk to 26 different media players!</p>
<p>The brand-new <a href="/components/panel_iframe/">iFrame panel component</a> allows you to add other websites as pages in the Home Assistant frontend. They will show up in the sidebar and can be used the same way as you open the frontend in your browser but all within one view.</p>
<p>I would like to do a shoutout to <a href="https://github.com/fabianhjr">@fabianhjr</a>. He has started adding <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html">typing</a> data (<a href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/">PEP484</a>) to the Home Assistant core. This will help us identify issues before they are released.</p>
