<p>It&rsquo;s been a month since the latest update and a lot has happened again. Here a quick overview of the new things.</p>
<p><strong>Line Charts</strong><br>
<a href="https://github.com/jamespcole">James</a> has upgraded the history in the frontend to support line graphs. Line graphs will be shown for any entity that has a unit of measurement. The line graphs will also be shown in the more info card of an entity. <a href="/demo/">See the demo for a live example.</a></p>
<p class='img'>

</p>
<p><strong>ISY994 hub support</strong><br>
<img src='/images/supported_brands/universal_devices.png' style='border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;' height='50' />
<a href="https://github.com/rmkraus">Ryan</a> has contributed support to integrate the ISY994 hub by Universal Devices. This allows you to integrate your X10/Insteon sensors, switches and lights.</p>
<p>He has created an extensive getting started guide which can be found on <a href="/components/isy994.html">the ISY994 component page</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Logbook</strong><br>
<img src='/images/screenshots/logbook.png' style='margin-left:10px; float: right;' height="100" />
I (Paulus) have added a logbook component. The logbook component provides a different perspective on the history of your house by showing all the changes that happened to your house in chronological order. <a href="/demo/">See the demo for a live example.</a>

<p><strong>Transmission support</strong><br>
<img src='/images/supported_brands/transmission.png' style='border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;' height='50' />
James has also contributed support for integrating Transmission into Home Assistant.</p>

<p><strong>Modbus support</strong><br>
<a href="https://github.com/kixam">Kixam</a> has contributed support for modbus, a serial communication protocol to control PLCs. It currently supports sensors and switches which can be controlled over serial, TCP and UDP connections.</p>
