<p>It’s time for the August release and there is some serious good stuff this time. The core of Home Assistant has gone some serious clean up and a bump in test coverage thanks to <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>. If you’re a developer, make sure you read up on <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/pull/251">the deprecation notices</a>. <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> did another great round of documentating all the various components.</p>

<p><strong>MQTT Support</strong><br />
<img src="/images/supported_brands/mqtt.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> The big new addition in this release is the support for the MQTT protocol by <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> with some help from <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>. It will now be possible to integrate any IoT device that talks via MQTT. For the initial release we support connecting Home Assistant to a broker (no TLS yet). Components can now subscribe and publish to MQTT topics (<a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/blob/dev/config/custom_components/mqtt_example.py">see the example</a>) and also support for the automation component <a href="/components/automation/#mqtt-based-automation">has been added</a>. For more information, see <a href="/components/mqtt/">the MQTT component page</a>.</p>

<p>I have recently merged code to refactor Home Assistant to use only UTC times internally. A much needed refactor. I’ve added some extra test coverage to time sensitive parts to ensure stability. The code has been live in the dev branch for the last 9 days and will be soon released to the master branch.</p>
<p>From now on all internal communication will be done in UTC: time changed events, datetime attributes of states, etc. To get the current time in UTC you can call <code>homeassistant.util.dt.utcnow()</code>. This is a timezone aware UTC datetime object. <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/util/dt.py"><code>homeassistant.util.dt</code></a> is a new util package with date helpers.</p>

<p>There is also such a thing as local time. Local time is based on the time zone that you have setup in your <code>configuration.yaml</code>. Local times should only be used for user facing information: logs, frontend and automation settings in <code>configuration.yaml</code>.</p>
