<p><a href="/components/#version/0.55"><img src="/images/blog/2017-10-0.55/components.png" style="border: 0;box-shadow: none;" /></a></p>
<p>Beside the improved Wink support which was contributed by <a href="https://github.com/w1ll1am23">@w1ll1am23</a>, ships this release a wide variety of new components and platforms. The <code class="highlighter-rouge">input_slider</code> components has received a makeover by <a href="https://github.com/BioSehnsucht">@BioSehnsucht</a> and is now <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/input_number/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">input_number</code></a>. <a href="https://github.com/tinloaf">@tinloaf</a> added a feature that allows you to enter dates: <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/input_datetime/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">input_datetime</code></a>. Both will help you to improve your automation rules.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="duckdns" href="#duckdns"></a> DuckDNS</h2>
<p>Using Home Assistant with <a href="http://www.duckdns.org">DuckDNS</a> for Dynamic DNS (DDNS or DynDNS) is an <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2015/12/13/setup-encryption-using-lets-encrypt/">old story</a>. DuckDNS is also integrated in <a href="https://home-assistant.io/addons/duckdns/">Hass.io</a>. 0.55 ships a component for no Hass.io users to get a similar feature.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="recorder" href="#recorder"></a> Recorder</h2>
<p>The purging of data was [improved][recorder docs]. With <code class="highlighter-rouge">purge_interval</code> you can schedule regular purges of older events and states. In combination you can specify with <code class="highlighter-rouge">purge_keep_days</code> the amount of days you want to keep. The new service <code class="highlighter-rouge">recorder.purge</code> allow to handle this task when needed.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="owntracks" href="#owntracks"></a> Owntracks</h2>
<p><a href="http://owntracks.org/">Owntracks</a> is an easy way to track your devices. For some times we have the device tracker which depends on <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.owntracks/">MQTT</a> but thanks to a new feature in Owntracks we can now offer support for HTTP. The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.owntracks_http/">new platform</a> doesnt require a MQTT broker but sends messages directly as HTTP requests to Home Assistant.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="tibber" href="#tibber"></a> Tibber</h2>
<p>This release introduces a new sensor: <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.tibber/">Tibber</a>. The sensor provides the current electricity price if you are a <a href="https://tibber.com/">Tibber</a> customer. This will allow you to make automation for turning off the heater when the electricity price is high or only charge your electric car when the prices are low. We further plan to add support for showing future electricity prices and historic electricity consumption data. Tibber is currently only available in Norway and Sweden</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="the-things-network" href="#the-things-network"></a> The Things Network</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/">The Things Network</a> (TTN) is a <a href="https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/wiki/LoRaWAN/Home">LoRaWAN</a> based network especially designed for IoT devices. With this <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/thethingsnetwork/">integration</a> one can observe the state of devices which are out of range of the local WiFi network as long as they are connected to a TTN gateway.</p>

<p>Starting with our next release, 0.55, we will deprecate Python 3.4 support. The current plan is to remove support for Python 3.4 at the beginning of 2018.</p>
<p>Python 3.5 was released on September 13th, 2015. It has since then become the default Python installation on the stable releases of Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian and Hassbian. Our other own operating system, Hass.io, is more advanced and is already running the greatly improved Python 3.6.</p>
<p>The jump to Python 3.5 as a minimum version is driven by the Home Assistant core, which is based on asyncio. Starting with Python 3.5, asyncio got improved support in the language with dedicated keywords <code class="highlighter-rouge">async</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">await</code>. As this is the proper way of doing async in Python, were seeing a move by async libraries to either only support the new syntax from the beginning or dropping support for the Python 3.4 approach. Not moving along means an increased maintenance burden as we cannot use the latest releases of our libraries. Next to that it will prevent our users from being able to leverage the bug fixes and performance improvements that come with Python 3.5.</p>
<p>If youre on Windows, youre fine as our minimum version for Windows has been 3.5 for a while now. If youre running Hass.io, you dont have to do anything. Your system will always stay up to date. If youre running a Debian based system (like Hassbian), follow <a href="https://linuxconfig.org/raspbian-gnu-linux-upgrade-from-jessie-to-raspbian-stretch-9">these instructions</a> to upgrade.</p>
<h4>Hass.io</h4>
<p>If youre running Hass.io, you dont have to do anything. Your system will always stay up to date.</p>
<h4>Hassbian</h4>
<p>If youre running Hassbian its recommended that you make a backup of your configuration files and restore them on a fresh install. Upgrading an existing installation isnt recommended.</p>
<h4>Windows</h4>
<p>If youre on Windows, youre fine as our minimum version for Windows has been 3.5 for a while now.</p>
<h4>Other Debian based systems</h4>
<p>If youre running a Debian based system , follow <a href="https://linuxconfig.org/raspbian-gnu-linux-upgrade-from-jessie-to-raspbian-stretch-9">these instructions</a> to upgrade.</p>

<p class="note warning">This release has to do a one time database migration which can take a long time on big databases (20 minutes). During this time the frontend will not work. Do not stop Home Assistant while it is in progress.</p>
<p>Release 0.51 is around the corner and it contains some really great updates.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="database-speed-up" href="#database-speed-up"></a> Database speed up</h2>
<p>The first one is more amazing database updates <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/8748">#8748</a> by <a href="https://github.com/OverloadUT">@OverloadUT</a>. Every query that has been tested executes in well under 1 second, even on a RPi using MySQL with 6 million rows and around 300 entities. This is true even when youre getting an unrealistically huge date range!</p>
<p>Updating the database will take some time when you start Home Assistant. During that time, the Home Assistant frontend is not accessible. Please let it complete and do not turn Home Assistant off.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="frontend-update" href="#frontend-update"></a> Frontend update</h2>
<p>We have finished the migration of our frontend to be powered by Polymer 2. This has given us a big speed boost on Safari/iOS devices and has fixed a wide range of bugs.</p>
<p>We have also finished the automation editor. All triggers and actions are now implemented and so are most conditions (missing are <code class="highlighter-rouge">and</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">or</code>). The automation editor is also no longer Chrome only, it can now also be used in Safari.</p>
<p>Another change to the frontend is that we have reorganized the panels. The Z-Wave and automation configuration panels have been merged into the configuration panel.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="vacuum-cleaners" href="#vacuum-cleaners"></a> Vacuum cleaners</h2>
<p>As we have seen more vacuum cleaners land in Home Assistant, it was time to create an official component for them. Thats why <a href="https://github.com/azogue">@azogue</a> introduced the new vacuum cleaner component in <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/8623">#8623</a>. This allows first class integration of vacuum cleaners in Home Assistant. Out of the box we will have Dyson, Xiamo and Roomba as supported platforms.</p>
