<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">Lets Encrypt</a>.</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>

<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><br />
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 cameras inside your network via the Home Assistant app.</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>scripts/update</code> to upgrade to the latest version and add <code>[history]</code> to your <code>home-assistant.conf</code> file.</p>
