<p>1 year and 22 days ago, or 387 days ago, on March 25th, 2016, I started a project to bring Home Assistant to the iPhone.</p>
|
||||
<p>I thought the existing notification and location solutions were lacking in one way or another and had wanted for <em>years</em> to have a project I could call my own which would allow me to learn iOS development. What better way then implementing an extremely complex application like Home Assistant?</p>
|
||||
<p>I started with a lot of steam. I remember cranking out the initial work that night and showing Paulus who was astounded at how fast the UI was coming together.</p>
|
||||
<p>Little would I know how many problems I would create and uncover throughout the process. Writing a mobile app for a project that moves as fast as Home Assistant is… tricky, to say the least. In the time since I started writing the app, Home Assistant had 90 releases. I started writing the day before 0.16 was released. Now we are at 0.42.3. Time flies…</p>
|
||||
<p>I couldn’t have completed the app without help and input from the community. By the end I had 700 beta testers, of which about 500 were very active in testing the app.</p>
|
||||
<p>I received emails and forum posts almost every day, even when the app would go without an update for weeks and sometimes months at a time as my life got busier and busier.</p>
|
||||
<p>I wanted this app to be done 9 months ago, at least, but my drive to add more and more features killed that idea. This really taught me the value of the MVP over the kitchen sink.</p>
|
||||
<p>It may not look the way that I wanted it to initially, with beautiful native UI components, but thats okay. What I really cared about is there. The notification and location engines are some of the most customizable and powerful available in an iOS app if I do say so myself. I made them this way to keep with the spirit of infinite flexibility that is enshrined in Home Assistant.</p>
|
||||
<p>Just because the app is released doesn’t mean we are at the end of the road. It’s only the beginning. There’s plenty of bugs to fix still, improvements to make, features to add. Beta testing will continue, and if anything, be expanded. I do want to have a native UI someday, but that’s pretty hard with how fast the project moves.</p>
|
||||
<p>The biggest request I have is for more developers on the project. As many of you know, I have my hands in many different parts of Home Assistant, from governance and organization to managing the forums to writing this app, managing the Homebridge plugin and even sometimes writing code for the actual core codebase! I can’t do it all, and I’m still a new iOS developer who doesn’t know all the best practices.</p>
|
||||
<p>The app is <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-iOS">open source</a>, has been for the last few months when I first prepared to submit it to Apple for review. I invite Swift developers to come and join me in building it. Trust me, there’s tons to do.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>1 year and 22 days ago, on March 25th, 2016 I began work on Home Assistant for iOS.</strong></p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Today, April 16th, 2017, I am <em>extremely</em> excited to announce that Home Assistant for iOS has been approved by Apple and is now available to download for <del>a monthly subscription starting at $9.99</del> free! (had to get a joke in here somewhere!) on the iOS App Store in every country.</strong></p>

||||

|
||||
<p><em>Please note, you must have Home Assistant 0.42.4 or later installed for the app to function properly.</em></p>
|
||||
<p>Thanks for everything so far, I’m looking forward to the road that lies ahead for Home Assistant on iOS!</p>

<p>It’s time for version 0.40 already! For this version, the main focus was on performance and bug fixes. Big thanks to <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">@pvizeli</a> for driving this effort. Startup is now super fast. We have also continued with adding warnings for components and platforms that are slowing down Home Assistant.</p>
|
||||
<p>Some people have interpreted our recent added warnings as if 0.39 introduced the issues that caused the warning. This is not the case, the platforms and components have been misbehaving for a while but now we are adding warnings so we are able to track down the culprits.</p>
|
||||
<p>Before we continue talking about all the improvements in this release I want to take a moment to thank a few people from the Home Assistant community that are fundamental to the success of Home Assistant. Big thanks to <a href="https://github.com/dale3h">@dale3h</a>, <a href="https://github.com/CCOSTAN">@CCOSTAN</a>, <a href="https://github.com/skalavala">@skalavala</a>, <a href="https://github.com/rrubin0">@rrubin0</a>, <a href="https://github.com/brahmafear">@brahmafear</a>, <a href="https://github.com/bassclarinetl2">@bassclarinetl2</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/torn8o">@torn8o</a>! These are all people that hang out in our <a href="https://gitter.im/home-assistant/home-assistant">main chat channel</a> and help new users get started and help existing users when running into trouble. Home Assistant would not be there without all the effort you put in! 🙇</p>

<p>And that our community kicks ass is also shown in the numbers. We have already raised together over $700 for the <a href="https://www.eff.org">EFF</a> via the sale of <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/02/22/home-assistant-tshirts-have-arrived/">our t-shirts</a>! All of you rock! Another number worth mentioning is that this release brings us passed 600 integrations for Home Assistant. All of you rock, again!</p>
