<content type="html"><![CDATA[Home Assistant will join this year for [Hacktoberfest], an event organised by DigitalOcean and GitHub to support and celebrate open source. The idea is that open source projects like Home Assistant will gather a bunch of entry-level bugs, features and documentation enhancements and that you, a current or future contributor, will fix them. If you submit four pull-requests during the month of October you will have earned yourself a limited edition Hacktoberfest T-shirt!

[SceneGen] is a new command line utility developed by [Andrew Cockburn] that helps with creating scene configurations for Home Assistant. To use it, you put your house in the preferred state, run SceneGen and it will print the scene configuration for your current states.

[Nick Touran] has been working on integrating IR remotes with Home Assistant. He made it into a component which should be available in the next release which should arrive in a couple of days. In the meanwhile, he wrote up [a blog post] and has put out a video showing the new integration, very cool!

Haaska allows you to control lights, switches, and scenes exposed by your Home Assistant instance using an Amazon Echo. This is different from our own [Alexa](/components/alexa/) component because it will teach the Amazon Echo directly about the devices instead of teaching it to talk to Home Assistant. It will not allow you to use custom sentences but it will allow you to skip the 'Ask Home Assistant' part when giving commands:
|
|
|
|
- "Alexa, set kitchen to twenty percent"
|
|
- "Alexa, turn on evening scene"
|
|
- "Alexa, turn off bedroom light"
|
|

Contributor Maddox has created a plugin for HomeBridge, an open-source HomeKit bridge. This will allow you to control your home using Siri on your Apple devices. HomeBridge has recently restructured so you'll have to install the plugin separately with the homebridge-homeassistant npm package.
|
|
|
|
Example config.json entry to load Home Assistant:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"platforms": [
|
|
{
|
|
"platform": "HomeAssistant",
|
|
"name": "HomeAssistant",
|
|
"host": "http://192.168.1.50:8123",
|
|
"password": "xxx",
|
|
"supported_types": ["light", "switch", "media_player", "scene"]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
