<p>You may already know from our social media channels and the release blog post for 0.41: We are now an award-winning Open source project. The jury of the <a href="https://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/tkmag/allgemein/zammad-home-assistant-und-freifunk-das-sind-die-gewinner-des-thomas-krenn-awards-2017/">Thomas-Krenn-Award</a> put us on the 2nd place. This is an awesome achievment for an independent community project.</p>
<p>I would like to thanks all contributors. Your endless effort made this possible.</p>
<p><img src="/images/blog/2017-04-award/award.jpg" style="border: 0;box-shadow: none;" /></p>
<p>The prize beside the very nice trophy contains hardware and we want to give that hardware partically away. We won four <a href="https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/products/low-energy-systems/les-v2.html">Low Energy Server v2 (LES)</a> units with an Intel Celeron N2930, 8 GB of RAM, and a mSATA of 128 GB (one unit with 64 GB). We were thinking about to keep one of those units in Europe and one in North America for testing and to use during workshops and events. But the other two will go to interested parties.</p>
<p>As a raffle would be to easy, we make a contest out of it. This means that we are looking for your application. Of course, we would like to see those systems goes to active or future developers who can justify their need for one of the systems to run CI, UI tests, public accessible Home Assistant demo instances, etc. At the other hand we would like to keep it open, to see with what people are coming up. Please participate as well if you are planning to automate the public school of your kids with 1000 switches or light, need a server to run it, and want to provide regular feedback about the user experience.</p>
<p>Create an entry in our <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/c/contest-2017">Forum</a>. Be creative and use your imagination.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="the-details" href="#the-details"></a> The details</h3>

<li>Dead line: April, 23 2017 - 23.59 UTC</li>
<li>Voting period: April, 24th till April, 30 2017 - 23.59 UTC</li>
</ul>
<p>The decision of the jury will be final. If there will be a dispute then the Top-5 commiter of the Home Assistant organisation on Github will decide. Also, we reserve us the right to ban applications if we suspect cheating or unfair methods. Updates will be available in the <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/c/contest-2017">Forum</a> and on <a href="https://twitter.com/home_assistant">Twitter</a>.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that you may have to pay the fee for customs handling and the import duty by yourself. The plan is to ship the hardware from Germany. If you are located in a country with import/export regulations, we may not be able to ship the hardware to you.</p>

<p>Tonight I’m happy to announce a new release of the our Raspberry Pi image, <strong>HASSbian 1.1 - The Toy-box.</strong><br />
Why Toy-box you wonder? Because it encompass the changes pretty well.</p>
<p>Changes from previous image are big and small but lets start with the interesting things.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="hassbian-scripts" href="#hassbian-scripts"></a> Hassbian-scripts</h3>
<p>A set of script written to add extra functionality to your Raspberry Pi installation.
This scripts are run as the <code class="highlighter-rouge">pi</code> user and installs a set of tools or packages.
Currently includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Install Libcec. Adds local <a href="/components/hdmi_cec/">HDMI CEC support</a>.</li>
<li>Install Mossquitto. Installs the latest Mosquitto package and client tools from the Mosquitto projects official repository. Now includes websocket support.</li>
<li>Install OpenZWave. Installs OpenZWave and prepares for using a USB or GPIO ZWave controller.</li>
<li>Install Samba. Installs the Samba packages and shares your configuration over smb to be available to edit on any computer without the need for separate file transfer software. This share is unsecured and it’s usage is not recommended if your installation is publicly available.</li>
</ul>
<p>All of these scripts are available in the directory <code class="highlighter-rouge">/home/pi/hassbian-scripts/</code>. This directory is actually a cloned git repository that’s cloned on first boot and can be updated to the latest release with ease after.
To update the hassbian-scripts directory execute the following command as the <code class="highlighter-rouge">pi</code> user.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span><span class="nb">cd </span>hassbian-scripts
<span class="gp">$ </span>git pull
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>To use any of the hassbian-scripts, execute the following command as the <code class="highlighter-rouge">pi</code> user. Here we use the libcec script as an example.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>sudo ./hassbian-scripts/install_libcec.sh
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>For more information about these scripts have a look a the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/hassbian-scripts">hassbian-scripts repository</a>.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="spring-cleaning" href="#spring-cleaning"></a> Spring cleaning</h3>
<p>With this image there also quite a bit of cleaning of the base system and the script that generates our Raspberry Pi image.</p>
<ul>
<li>Update pi-gen. Our build script has been upgraded to follow the Raspbian image closer. This image is basically a Raspbian lite image with Home Assistant, dependencies and a small set of changes to the base system.</li>
<li>Removed Mosquitto. Not as bad as it sounds since it’s installation has been move to one of our new hassbian-scripts.</li>
<li>Added rng-tools. Let’s your HASSbian installation use the hardware support in the Raspberry Pi for entropy generation.</li>
<li>Added avahi-daemon package. Your Raspberry Pi should now be available at <a href="hassbian.local">hassbian.local</a>.</li>
<li>Added htop. User friendly interactive process monitor.</li>
<li>Added tmux. A great terminal multiplexer that makes working with the command line over ssh easier.</li>
<li>Added the <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant</code> user to the <code class="highlighter-rouge">dialout</code> group. Simplifies use of hardware such as ZWave USB controllers that requires this permission.</li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="on-the-horizon" href="#on-the-horizon"></a> On the horizon</h3>
<p>There’s of course more on the horizon and there’s even more plans and wishes for how this image will function in the future.
On the close horizon from <a href="https://github.com/Landrash">@Landrash</a> there a few more script in the works and for tellstick, emulated_hue and for controlling Home Assistant.</p>
