Here we go...0.34. Let's call it the "Santa Claus" release. Rodolfo was faster than expected and there are a lot of goodies on the sled. Of course, more work on async programming done by @pvizeli and @balloob, a new components, new platforms, major improvements, and much more.

{% linkable_title GPSLogger %}

The work of @dainok let you use your Android device, with the Geolocation feature enabled, to track itself using the GPS sensor or WiFi networks with GPSLogger app. GPSLogger can use multiple source: the passive one just get the latest Android known location, without activating GPS sensors or scanning for WiFi networks.

{% linkable_title Remote component %}

The brand new remote component made by @iandday will simplyfy the integration of all kind remote control units. The first platform for Harmony is included in this release.

{% linkable_title HomeMatic %}

The HomeMatic component has received some updates worth mentioning:

• Additional services
  • reconnect: Reconnect to your CCU/Homegear without restarting Home Assistant.
  • set_dev_value: Manually control a device, even if it's not supported by Home Assistant yet.
• Support for multiple HomeMatic hosts
• Support for HomeMatic Wired (most devices) and HomeMatic IP (a few devices)
• Various improvements and fixes, especially for HM-Sec-Key (KeyMatic)

The support for multiple hosts is a result of allowing mixed configurations with wireless, wired, and IP devices. This has the drawback of making the update a breaking change (along with the renamed set_value service). However, the benefits and possibilities gained will be worth it.

{% linkable_title Websocket API %}

This release includes a new websockets based API by @balloob to power the next generation of Home Assistant frontends. The current frontend has been partly migrated to use it and will be further migrated in the future.
