<h1><a class="title-link" name="we-have-themes-" href="#we-have-themes-"></a> WE HAVE THEMES 🎨👩‍🎨</h1>
<p>Our already amazing frontend just got even more amazing thanks to <a href="https://github.com/andrey-git">@andrey-git</a>. With the new theme support you can be in control of the primary color, accent color and a whole bunch more.</p>
<p>You can specify themes using new configuration options under frontend.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">frontend</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">themes</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">green</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">primary-color</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">#6CA518"</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Once a theme is defined, use the new frontend service <code class="highlighter-rouge">frontend.set_theme</code> to activate it. More information in <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/frontend/">the docs</a>.</p>
<p class="img">

</p>
<p>Not all parts of the user interface are themable yet. Expect improvements in future releases.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="kiosk-mode" href="#kiosk-mode"></a> Kiosk mode</h2>
<p>Another great new improvement for the frontend is the addition of a kiosk mode. When the frontend is viewed in kiosk mode, the tab bar will be hidden.</p>
<p>To activate kiosk mode, navigate to <code class="highlighter-rouge">https://hass.example.com:8123/kiosk/group.living_room_view</code>. Note that for <code class="highlighter-rouge">default_view</code> the url is just <code class="highlighter-rouge">https://hass.example.com:8123/kiosk</code></p>
<p>This feature has also been brought to you by <a href="https://github.com/andrey-git">@Andrey-git</a>! Big shout out to him for his continuous efforts to bring Home Assistant to the next level.</p>

<p>It’s time for a great new release!</p>
<p>We’ve started the process of upgrading our frontend technology. If you notice something not working that did work before, please open <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/issues">an issue</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">Pascal</a> has added a new option to Home Assistant core to set a list of whitelisted folders that Home Assistant can read from. When a component allows to send files (like Telegram), it will only be allowed to send files from those directories. The only default whitelisted folder is the public <code class="highlighter-rouge">&lt;config&gt;/www</code> directory.</p>
<p>Z-Wave will, as announced in the <a href="/blog/2017/06/17/release-47/">last release</a>, be defaulting to generate the new entity ids. More info in the <a href="/blog/2017/06/15/zwave-entity-ids/">blog post</a>. You can still opt-in for the old style.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">zwave</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">new_entity_ids</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">false</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="big-speed-up-in-querying-the-history" href="#big-speed-up-in-querying-the-history"></a> Big speed up in querying the history</h2>
<p>Thanks to the work by <a href="https://github.com/cmsimike">@cmsimike</a> in <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/8255">#8255</a> you’ll see a significant speed up when using the history view. In his local tests queries went from 1 minute to 90ms! ⚡️</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="snipsai-component" href="#snipsai-component"></a> Snips.ai component</h2>
<p>Snips has contributed a component to integrate with their Snips.ai local voice assistant. This will allow you to hook a speaker and a microphone into your Raspberry Pi and make your own local Amazon Echo quickly. See <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/snips/">the docs</a> for further instructions.</p>
<p>Also a shoutout to <a href="https://github.com/michaelarnauts">@michaelarnauts</a> for keeping an eye on our Docker build and once again reducing the file size 👍</p>

<p>In this release a ton of new stuff! And who doesn’t like new stuff? This release we’re passing the 700 integrations for Home Assistant. As of today <a href="https://home-assistant.io/help/trivia/#first-commit">we’re 1369 days old</a>, which means that roughly every two days a new integration gets added!</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="python-scripts" href="#python-scripts"></a> Python Scripts</h2>
<p>The biggest change is a new type of script component: <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/python_script/">Python scripts</a>. This new component will allow you to write scripts to manipulate Home Assistant: call services, set states and fire events. Each Python script is made available as a service. Head over to <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/python_script/">the docs</a> to see how to get started.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="updater" href="#updater"></a> Updater</h2>
<p>The updater has received a new opt-in option to let us know which components you use. This will allow us to focus development efforts on the components that are popular.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">updater</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">include_used_components</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">true</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>And as a reminder. We will never share gathered data in a manner that can be used to identify anyone. We do plan on making aggregate data public soon. This will include total number of users and which hardware/software platform people use to run Home Assistant.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="z-wave" href="#z-wave"></a> Z-Wave</h2>
<p>Z-Wave is also getting a big update in this release. The confusing entity_ids will be on their way out. There is a <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/06/15/zwave-entity-ids/">zwave blog post</a> that gives more detail, but the upgrade steps will be as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Run Home Assistant as normal and the old IDs will still be used.</li>
<li>The new entity IDs will be shown in the more-info dialog for each entity. Check to make sure none of them will have conflicts once the new names are applied.</li>
<li>Rename entities using the ui card as described in the blog post to avoid conflicts. Restart Home Assistant to observe the changes.</li>
<li>Update all places mentioning IDs (groups, automation, customization, etc.) in configuration.yaml.</li>
<li>Add <code class="highlighter-rouge">new_entity_ids: true</code> to your zwave config.</li>
<li>Restart Home Assistant to run with new IDs.</li>
<li>The old entity IDs will be available in the more info dialog to trace down any remaining errors.</li>
</ol>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="monkey-patching-python-36" href="#monkey-patching-python-36"></a> Monkey Patching Python 3.6</h2>
<p>Some people have noticed that running Home Assistant under Python 3.6 can lead to segfaults. It seems to be related to the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/3453">earlier segfault issues</a> that we experienced when we released the asyncio-based core. We thought that those issues would have been fixed when <a href="https://bugs.python.org/issue26617">Python bug 26617</a> was resolved. Although we see less reports compared to the old bug, there are still users <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/7752">experiencing them</a> (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/7752#issuecomment-305100009">gdb stacktrace points at <code class="highlighter-rouge">PyObject_GC_Del()</code></a>).</p>
<p>Since Python 3.6, the Task and Future classes have been moved to C. This gives a nice speed boost but also prevents us from monkey patching the Task class to avoid the segfault. <a href="https://github.com/bbangert">Ben Bangert</a> managed to brew up another monkey patch to stop Python 3.6 from using the C classes, falling back to the Python versions instead. This allows us to apply the original monkey patch again.</p>
<p>Both monkey patches are now active by default starting version 0.47 to avoid our users experiencing segfaults. This comes at a cost of not being able to benefit from all optimizations that were introduced in Python 3.6.</p>
<p>To run without the monkey patch, start Home Assistant with <code class="highlighter-rouge">HASS_NO_MONKEY=1 hass</code>. We will further investigate this issue and try to fix it in a future version of Python.</p>

<div class="entry-content clearfix">
<p>ZWave entity_ids have long been a source of frustration in Home Assistant. The first problem we faced was that depending on the order of node discovery, entity_ids could be discovered with different names on each run. To solve this we added the node id as a suffix to the entity_id. This ensured that entity_ids were generated deterministically on each run, but additional suffixes had to be added to handle edge cases where there would otherwise be a conflict. The resulting entity_ids worked, but have been difficult to work with and makes ZWave a strange exception among other Home Assistant components.</p>
<p>Thanks to the awesome work of <a href="https://github.com/turbokongen">@turbokongen</a>, a growing number of ZWave configuration options are now available from the new ZWave panel in the Home Assistant frontend. Among these new features is support for renaming of ZWave nodes and their underlying values. (These renames are persisted in zwcfg_*.xml) This is important, because these items are combined to form the Home Assistant entity name, which is used to generate the entity_id. Now that these options are available, ZWave users can rename nodes and values, influencing the entity_ids that are generated by Home Assistant.</p>
<p>Now that users are able to control these names, we will be making changes to how the entity_ids are generated for ZWave entities. The ZWave entity_ids are going to switch back to using the standard entity_id generation from Home Assistant core, based on the entity names. Moving forward, if there is a conflict when generating entity_ids, a suffix will be added, and it will be the responsibility of the user to rename their nodes and values to avoid the conflict. This is the same as any other platform in Home Assistant where two devices are discovered with the same name.</p>
<p>With the release of 0.47, this feature will be opt-in. Setting <code class="highlighter-rouge">new_entity_ids: true</code> under <code class="highlighter-rouge">zwave:</code> in your configuration.yaml will enable the new generation. After 0.48 this feature will become opt-out. From 0.48 onward, unless you’ve declared <code class="highlighter-rouge">new_entity_ids: false</code> you will switch to the new entity_id generation. At an undecided point in the future, the old entity_id generation will be removed completely.</p>
<p>I’m sure all ZWave users understand that the current entity_ids aren’t easy to use. They’re annoying to type in configuration.yaml, and break if a node needs to be re-included to the network. We know that breaking changes are painful, and so we’re doing what we can to roll this change out as smoothly as possible. The end result should be a dramatic simplification of most ZWave configurations. We hope that this change will ultimately make ZWave much easier to work with, and bring ZWave configuration just a little closer to the rest of the Home Assistant platforms.</p>

</ul>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="breaking-changes" href="#breaking-changes"></a> Breaking changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>The USPS sensor entity names have changed as there are now two. One for packages and one for mail. Config will now also use <code class="highlighter-rouge">scan_interval</code> instead of <code class="highlighter-rouge">update_interval</code> (<a href="https://github.com/happyleavesaoc">@happyleavesaoc</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/7655">#7655</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.usps/">sensor.usps docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
<li>Automation state trigger: From/to checks will now ignore state changes that are just attribute changess (<a href="https://github.com/amelchio">@amelchio</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/7651">#7651</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/docs/automation/trigger/#state-trigger">automation.state docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
<li>Redesign monitored variables for hp_ilo sensor. <code class="highlighter-rouge">monitored_variables</code> is now a list of <code class="highlighter-rouge">name</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">sensor_type</code> values (<a href="https://github.com/Juggels">@Juggels</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/7534">#7534</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.hp_ilo/">sensor.hp_ilo docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
</ul>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">sensor</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">hp_ilo</span>

</code></pre>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Automation - time: The <code class="highlighter-rouge">after</code> keyword for time triggers (not conditions) has been deprecated in favor of the <code class="highlighter-rouge">at</code> keyword. This resembles better what it does (old one still works, gives a warning) (<a href="https://github.com/armills">@armills</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/7846">#7846</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/docs/automation/trigger/#time-trigger">automation.time docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
<li>Automation - numeric_state: <code class="highlighter-rouge">above</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">below</code> will no longer trigger if it is equal. (<a href="https://github.com/armills">@armills</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/7857">#7857</a>) (breaking change)</li>
<li>Broadlink switches: Entity ids will change for switches that don’t have a default name set. In this case the object_id is now used. (<a href="https://github.com/abmantis">@abmantis</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/7845">#7845</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/switch.broadlink/">switch.broadlink docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
<li>Disallow ambiguous color descriptors in the light.turn_on schema. This means that you can no longer specify both <code class="highlighter-rouge">xy_color</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">rgb_color</code>. (<a href="https://github.com/amelchio">@amelchio</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/7765">#7765</a>) (breaking change)</li>
