<p>It has only been a little over a week since Theodor introduced YAML support for Home Assistant but so much has already happened that it is time for a summary of recent changes. Before mentioning the highlights I want to thank <a href="https://github.com/andythigpen">andythigpen</a>, <a href="https://github.com/jamespcole">jamespcole</a> and <a href="https://github.com/theolind">theolind</a> for numerous bug fixes, enhancements and new contributions. Thanks!</p>
<p><strong>Monitor local resources.</strong><br />
Theodor has contributed a new sensor platform to allow you to monitor disk usage, memory usage, CPU usage and running processes. This platform has superseded the process component which is now considered deprecated.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>

</div>
<p><strong>Experimental Z-Wave support</strong><br />
There is now experimental support for connecting Z-Wave networks using a Z-Wave USB stick. Right now it only integrates Z-Wave sensors into Home Assistant. Our goal is to get this tested by more people before adding support for other Z-Wave devices.</p>
<p>The new component is built on top of <a href="https://code.google.com/p/python-openzwave/">python-openzwave</a>. This package is currently not distributed on PyPi so weve added a script <code class="highlighter-rouge">scripts/build_python_openzwave</code> to install it on your machine. Alternatively you can use the Docker image which is ready to go.</p>
<p>The development was done using an AEON Z-Wave USB stick and an AEON Z-Wave MultiSensor.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">zwave</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">usb_path</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">/dev/ttyUSB0</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p><strong>Voice control</strong><br />
An initial version of voice control for Home Assistant has landed. The current implementation consists of two parts.</p>
<p>The first part is a component called <code class="highlighter-rouge">conversation</code> that exposes the service <code class="highlighter-rouge">conversation/process</code>. This service is capable of processing text and translating them into commands for devices. For now it will only support commands in the format of <code class="highlighter-rouge">Turn &lt;Friendly Name&gt; &lt;on/off&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>The second part is an upgrade to the frontend to use the speech-to-text in Chrome to allow users to speak commands. If youre using Chrome, you can test this out in <a href="/demo/">the demo</a>.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">conversation</span><span class="pi">:</span>
