<p>Almost three busy weeks have past since the last release. We used this time to finally make the overhaul to use UTC as the internal date time format. We added a bunch of test coverage in the process to make sure the transition went smoothly. Pleas see <a href="/blog/2015/05/09/utc-time-zone-awareness/#backwards-incompatible-stuff">the blog post about the UTC refactor</a> for backwards incompatible changes.</p>
<p>This release includes a significant startup boost for the frontend and a fix for Wemo discovery after their latest firmware upgrade.</p>
<p>I would like to give a big shout out to our newest contributor <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">fabaff</a> for taking the time to improve the documentation.</p>
<p class="note">
To update to the latest version, run <code>scripts/update</code>. Please report any issues on <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues">GitHub</a>.

<p><strong>Overwriting Entity Attributes</strong>
Before diving into the newly supported devices and services, I want to highlight an awesome configuration enhancement by <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus">rmkraus</a>: overwriting entity attributes.</p>
<p>These new configuration settings allow you to overwrite entity state attributes. The main usage for this is being able to overwrite attributes that influence how an entity is shown in the interface.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">homeassistant</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">customize</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">light.bowl</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="c1"># hides this entity from the interface</span>
<span class="s">hidden</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">true</span>
<span class="s">light.ceiling</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="c1"># Replaces the state badge with given picture</span>
