post 0.25: Custom frontend panels, Jupyter notebooks, DirecTV. Frontend became blazing fast and extensible. DirecTV support added. 2016-07-30 12:00:00 +0000 July 30, 2016 Fabian Affolter & Paulus Schoutsen fabaff true Release-Notes

When Home Assistant started the focus has always been on making a great developer experience. Allowing anyone to add support for their favorite devices to Home Assistant easily. This focus has been a great success since we now have 339 components and platforms!

Starting with this release, we are extending our extensability to the frontend. Starting this release, any component can add it's own page to the frontend. Examples of this today are the map, logbook and history. We are looking forward to all the crazy panels you'll come up with!

We have also seen an exciting trend of people starting to visualize their Internet of Things data using Jupyter Notebooks, which are a great way to create and share documents that contain code, visualizations, and explanatory text. In case you missed it, the blog post by @kireyeu shows an advanced usecase while our Notebooks in the Home Assistant Notebooks repository cover the basics.

This release also includes a bunch of new integrations, among others three new media player platforms. This means that today Home Assistant can talk to 26 different media players!

The brand-new iFrame panel component allows you to add other websites as pages in the Home Assistant frontend. They will show up in the sidebar and can be used the same way as you open the frontend in your browser but all within one view.

I would like to do a shoutout to @fabianhjr. He has started adding typing data (PEP484) to the Home Assistant core. This will help us identify issues before they are released.
