<h2><a class="title-link" name="translations" href="#translations"></a> Translations</h2>

<p>As mentioned in the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/11/04/release-57/">0.57 release notes</a>, Home Assistant has launched a translated frontend. With the immediate influx of translations, we’ve made integration with a translation tool a top priority. <a href="https://github.com/c727">@c727</a> took the initiative to evaluate several tools, and we’re happy to announce that Home Assistant will be partnering with <a href="https://lokalise.co/">Lokalise</a> to manage our translations!</p>

<p>Lokalise allows us to open up translations for all of our multilingual users willing to contribute. Users can join the project using our <a href="https://lokalise.co/signup/3420425759f6d6d241f598.13594006/all/">public signup link</a>, and start translating right away. We’ve created a <a href="https://home-assistant.io/developers/frontend_translation/">translation startup guide</a> with additional details about how to contribute. Instructions are provided there for how to request a new language.</p>

<p>Now that we have a system in place, expect a lot more of the interface to be translatable soon. We still have some technical hurdles to overcome, but the hardest work is behind us now. The community has already done an outstanding job of providing translations. The future is looking bright!</p>

</p>

<p>Whaaaaaats up everyone?! 😁 It’s been another crazy 2 weeks here at the virtual Home Assistant headquarters with a ton of great contributions from all over the world. New features, bug fixes, performance improvements. It’s a lot so let’s jump right in.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="translations" href="#translations"></a> Translations</h2>

<p>The first great feature, if you haven’t guessed it yet from the screenshot above: we are now able to translate the UI! Currently the translations are limited to the sidebar menu items. Even without a translation tool available, our contributors have jumped in and submitted translations for these menu items in over twenty languages! Home Assistant will automatically pick an available translation based on your browser settings, or a translation can be manually selected in the configuration panel.</p>

<p>We’re currently working on an integration with the web based translation tool <a href="https://lokalise.co">lokalise.co</a>, to make the translation process accessible to anyone who would like to contribute. Stay tuned for a blog post with more documentation soon.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="frontend-improvements" href="#frontend-improvements"></a> Frontend improvements</h2>

<p>As part of getting translations to work, we did a lot of cleanup work on the frontend side. The re-organization should allow us to iterate faster on the frontend. We’ve already seen a lot of clean up as part of this thanks to @armills and @andrey-git for keep raising the quality!</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="hacktoberfest" href="#hacktoberfest"></a> Hacktoberfest</h2>

<p><a href="https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/">Hacktoberfest</a> 2017 is over! FINALLY. Each year we’re attracting more developers that want to contribute to Home Assistant. This is great but also very exhausting to our code reviewers. I want to give an enormous gigantic huge big shout out to our reviewers @pvizeli, @andrey-git, @armills, @MartinHjelmare, @fabaff. You have all done an amazing job and we couldn’t run Home Assistant without any of you! ❤</p>

<p>Hacktoberfest is obviously about the people contributing to open source. Big thanks to everyone that has taken the time to learn our code base and make contributions. We hope it was a pleasant experience and show how great open source can be. Hope to see many contributions in the future 👍</p>

<p>Here are our Hacktoberfest 2017 stats. It’s a miracle everyone is still alive:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Main repo: <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=merged%3A%3E2017-10-01%20is%3Apr%20label%3AHacktoberfest%20is%3Aclosed%20">273 Pull requests</a> were merged out of 307.</li>
  <li>Docs repo: <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.github.io/pulls?page=1&amp;q=merged%3A%3E2017-10-01+is%3Apr+label%3AHacktoberfest+is%3Aclosed&amp;utf8=%E2%9C%93">295 Pull requests</a> merged out of 310.</li>
  <li>Frontend: <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=merged%3A%3E2017-10-01%20is%3Apr%20label%3AHacktoberfest%20is%3Aclosed%20">57 pull requests</a> merged.</li>
</ul>

<p>This means that we processed over 20 Pull requests per day. The result was already visible in 0.56. This release is almost the same. In those releases we were able to add over 40 new integrations.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="ikea-trdfri" href="#ikea-trdfri"></a> IKEA TRÅDFRI</h2>

<p>Good news and bad news on this front. The bad news is that IKEA changed the internal API for TRÅDFRI with a firmware update, breaking the Home Assistant integration. The good news is that they were nice enough to <a href="https://twitter.com/home_assistant/status/925373865802502144">email us with instructions on the breaking changes</a>.</p>

<p>Long time contributor <a href="https://github.com/lwis">@lwis</a> jumped on the case and managed to migrate our integration in Home Assistant in time for this release. Great work!</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="timer" href="#timer"></a> Timer</h2>

<p>Okay, one more highlight before we’ll let you check out the changelog. Contributor <a href="https://github.com/danielperna84">@danielperna84</a> (famous for creating the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/addons/configurator/">HASS Configurator</a>), had another great component up his sleeve: the Timer component. With the timer component you’ll be able to start countdown timers. A neat tool for your automation toolbox! More info in the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/timer/">timer docs</a>.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="breaking-changes" href="#breaking-changes"></a> Breaking Changes</h2>

<ul>
  <li>IKEA TRÅDFRI: We no longer support entering the key in the configuration. (<a href="https://github.com/lwis">@lwis</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/10282">#10282</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/tradfri/">tradfri docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
  <li>API.AI was renamed to <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/dialogflow/">Dialogflow</a>. This requires to rename the entry in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file from <code class="highlighter-rouge">apiai:</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">dialogflow</code>. (<a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/10006">#10006</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/dialogflow/">dialogflow docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
  <li>Wink: Removed support for entering your <code class="highlighter-rouge">username</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">password</code> in your config. Use the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/wink/#authenticate-using-developerwinkcomhttpsdeveloperwinkcom">new authentication method</a> instead. (<a href="https://github.com/w1ll1am23">@w1ll1am23</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/10277">#10277</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/wink/">wink docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
  <li>Use feed name assigned in EmonCMS if there is one. This changes the default behavior but still uses configured ‘name’ if it’s set, so it won’t break the configuration of people who have customized their feed names in HA config. (<a href="https://github.com/KlaasH">@KlaasH</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/10021">#10021</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.emoncms/">sensor.emoncms docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
  <li>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">namecheapdns</code> now uses <code class="highlighter-rouge">password:</code> instead of <code class="highlighter-rouge">access_token</code> in the configuration. Also, <code class="highlighter-rouge">host</code> is now optional which allow people who are not using subdomains to keep their configuration shorter. (<a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/10063">#10063</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/namecheapdns/">namecheapdns docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
  <li>Fix recorder crash for long state string - enforce a maximum state of 255 characters at core level (<a href="https://github.com/milanvo">@milanvo</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/9696">#9696</a>) (breaking change)</li>
  <li>Add display currency setting to CoinMarketCap sensor. The name of the sensor attribute ‘24h_volume_usd’ is changed to ‘24h_volume’. (<a href="https://github.com/R1chardTM">@R1chardTM</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/10093">#10093</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.coinmarketcap/">sensor.coinmarketcap docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
  <li>
    <p>MQTT Statestream now serializes all data to JSON before publishing. This means that string attributes and values will be quoted from now on (e.g.: ‘“on”’ instead of ‘on’). You can still read these strings without the quotes by using ‘value_json’ instead of ‘value’ where applicable (e.g., templates). This causes automatic JSON deserialization. Other simple types are not affected.</p>

    <p>This fixes errors when an entity has an attribute that is not “a string, bytearray, int, float or None” and mqtt_statestream is used. As of now, the attribute is just handed over to paho, and paho can only send the aforementioned types. This patch fixes the issue by just casting everything to string before handing it over to paho.</p>

    <p>There are a number of components / entities which have “other” attributes, e.g. light that have an RGB attribute which is a list.

  </li>
  <li>Generic thermostat: the configuration option <code class="highlighter-rouge">tolerance</code> has been removed and has been replaced by <code class="highlighter-rouge">cold_tolerance</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">hot_tolerance</code>. This allows on and off states to have different error bands. (<a href="https://github.com/biggms">@biggms</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/9843">#9843</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/climate.generic_thermostat/">climate.generic_thermostat docs</a>) (breaking change)</li>
  <li>Developers only: frontend has been refactored. The method <code class="highlighter-rouge">register_panel</code> has been turned into a coroutine function called <code class="highlighter-rouge">async_register_panel</code>. The parameter <code class="highlighter-rouge">url_path</code> has been renamed to <code class="highlighter-rouge">frontend_url_path</code>. For frontend, development, you no longer pass <code class="highlighter-rouge">development: 1</code> to the http component but instead configure the frontend component to be in development mode by pointing it at a local checkout of the Polymer repo: (<a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/9915">#9915</a>) (breaking change)</li>

    <link href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/11/02/secure-shell-tunnel/"/>
    <updated>2017-11-02T08:00:00+00:00</updated>
    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/11/02/secure-shell-tunnel</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Most system engineers are very familiar with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell">SSH (Secure shell)</a>. This tool which contains a server part and a client part is used to access a remote system in a secure way. It can also help you if your are running Home Assistant but don’t want to expose it to the public. On a Linux system SSH is often available by default. If you are using a Windows installation additional steps are required which are not covered here.</p>

<p>In this blog post we are going to use the tunneling option of SSH to create a secure connection and forward the Home Assistant frontend to a local system.</p>

<!--more-->

<p>The involved parties are:</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Remote system</strong>: Where Home Assistant is running, usually in your home network.</li>
  <li><strong>Local system</strong>: Where you want to see the frontend.</li>
</ul>

<p>The prerequirements are that you need to allow the forwarding of port 22 from your router to the system where Home Assistant is running in your network. It might also be needed that you enable the SSH daemon by <code class="highlighter-rouge">$ sudo systemctl start sshd</code> on the remote system and to adjust the host firewall. If you are running <a href="https://home-assistant.io/hassio/">Hass.io</a> then enable the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/addons/ssh/">SSH Server add-on</a>. You must also have a public IP address or hostname which can be provided by dynamic DNS (e.g., <a href="https://www.noip.com/">NO-IP</a> or <a href="https://www.duckdns.org/">DuckDNS</a>).
On your local system you need only a SSH client and you need to be in a network where SSH is allowed.</p>

<p>First let’s have a look at the command we are going to use. Use <code class="highlighter-rouge">man ssh</code> to get more information.</p>

<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>ssh -L 8000:localhost:8123 user@[IP_ADDRESS_REMOTE]
      |  |    |         |    |    |
      |  |    |         |    |    |_ IP address or hostname of your router.
      |  |    |         |    |_ Username on the remote system.
      |  |    |         |_ Port where the application is running.
      |  |    |_ We want the frontend on this system.
      |  |_ The port on our <span class="nb">local </span>system to use <span class="o">(</span>above 1024<span class="o">)</span>.
      |_ We want to <span class="k">do </span><span class="nb">local </span>port forwarding.
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>A possible example could look like the command below.</p>

<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>ssh -L 8000:localhost:8123 ha@192.168.0.11
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>The first time you establish the connection you need to accept the fingerprint.</p>

<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>The authenticity of host <span class="s1">'192.168.0.11 (192.168.0.11)'</span> can<span class="s1">'t be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:asdf2faasd4gk45454fadr78wfadfasdfeg4vvvsae33.
ECDSA key fingerprint is MD5:44:d4:f7:44:d4:aa:b8:de:ef:09:3e:0d:4e:12:11:09.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? 
Warning: Permanently added '</span>192.168.0.162<span class="s1">' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
ha@192.168.0.11'</span>s password: 
Last login: Fri Oct 27 17:50:09 2017
<span class="o">[</span>ha@home-assistant ~]<span class="nv">$ </span>
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>Now you are able to use your frontend on your local system: <a href="http://localhost:8000">http://localhost:8000</a></p>

<p>Things to keep in mind:</p>

<ul>
  <li>You need a public IP address or hostname (Dynamic DNS will work) if you want to use it from the internet.</li>
  <li>You need to setup port forwarding on your router.</li>
  <li>Don’t allow <code class="highlighter-rouge">root</code> to use SSH. Set <code class="highlighter-rouge">PermitRootLogin no</code> on the remote system.</li>
  <li>Your local port must be above 1024. Only <code class="highlighter-rouge">root</code> is allowed to forward privileged ports which are below 1024.</li>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>If you are planning to host a Home Assistant meetup or doing a talk, then you probably want to show Home Assistant to an audience. You could use a Wireless router, bulbs, switches, and a single board computer to do a realistic demo. For a workshop, this is what I usually do because I think that working with physical hardware is more fun for the participants. The issue is that you need time to set up, power and space. For a talk or in a location, where you only have a beamer and a table or a lectern, the physical hardware approach is not very convenient.</p>

<p>The simplest way to show Home Assistant to others is the online demo at <a href="https://home-assistant.io/demo/">https://home-assistant.io/demo/</a></p>

  Home Assistant’s online demo
</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="--demo-mode-and-demo-platform" href="#--demo-mode-and-demo-platform"></a> <code class="highlighter-rouge">--demo-mode</code> and Demo platform</h2>
<p>To be safe for your talk, you don’t want to depend on an internet connection. The demo mode <a href="/docs/tools/hass/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">--demo-mode</code></a> allows you to run a demo locally including the latest features. Make sure that you have a backup of your configuration.</p>

<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>hass --demo-mode
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>If you already have a <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file in place then you will get a combination of your setup with all available  <a href="/components/demo/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">demo</code></a> platforms. This can be overwhelming for the audience. The suggestion is that you tailor the demo to your needs by only showing a few selected platforms. For example:</p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">sensor</span><span class="pi">:</span>
  <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">demo</span>
<span class="s">binary_sensor</span><span class="pi">:</span>
  <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">demo</span>
<span class="s">switch</span><span class="pi">:</span>
  <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">demo</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

  Home Assistant’s demo platforms
</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="random-platforms" href="#random-platforms"></a> <code class="highlighter-rouge">random</code> platforms</h2>
<p>Till now the frontend is static. Nothing is changing over time. Starting with 0.57 we ship a <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.github.io/blob/next/source/_components/binary_sensor.random.markdown"><code class="highlighter-rouge">random</code> binary sensor</a> platform in addition to the already available <a href="/components/sensor.random/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">random</code> sensor</a>.</p>

<p>By adding those platform to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file, your demo will become more interactive.</p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">sensor</span><span class="pi">:</span>
  <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">demo</span>

  Demo with <code class="highlighter-rouge">random</code> platforms
</p>

<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">random</code> and the <code class="highlighter-rouge">demo</code> platforms can, of course, be used together. With a little work and some of the <a href="/components/#search/template"><code class="highlighter-rouge">template</code></a> platforms or the <a href="/components/#search/input"><code class="highlighter-rouge">input_*</code></a> components it would even be possible to simulate a complete apartment or a house. For a hint check the sample below:</p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">input_boolean</span><span class="pi">:</span>
  <span class="s">on_off</span><span class="pi">:</span>

</code></pre>
</div>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="mqtt-discovery" href="#mqtt-discovery"></a> MQTT Discovery</h2>
<p>This is a section for advanced users as it will require to run a separate script. Instead of adding <code class="highlighter-rouge">demo</code> platforms to the configuration this setup make use of <a href="/docs/mqtt/discovery/">MQTT discovery</a> and the <a href="/docs/mqtt/broker/#embedded-broker">embedded MQTT broker</a>. Simply add MQTT to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file with <code class="highlighter-rouge">discovery:</code></p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">mqtt</span><span class="pi">:</span>
  <span class="s">discovery</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">true</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>Download the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-dev-helper/blob/master/ha-mqtt-demo.py">sample script</a>. It depends on <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/paho-mqtt">paho-mqtt</a>. If you run the script inside your <a href="/docs/installation/virtualenv/">Home Assistant’s virtual environment</a> then you are good to go as the dependency should be present if you have used MQTT before. Otherwise, install it with <code class="highlighter-rouge">$ pip3 install paho-mqtt</code>. The same applies to the embedded broker.</p>

<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">(ha)[ha-demo]$ </span>python3 ha-mqtt-demo.py
Demo is running... -&gt; CTRL + C to shutdown
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>It will create sensors, a light, and a switch and update the states as long the script is running. It possible to stop and restart script without losing the entities.</p>

<p>Some users share their slides and other documents in <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-assets">our assets repository</a>. Also, take a look at that repository if you need a logo for your slides.</p>

    <link href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/10/23/simple-analog-sensor/"/>
    <updated>2017-10-23T06:00:00+00:00</updated>
    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/10/23/simple-analog-sensor</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>This blog post is about building a super simple analog sensor for Home Assistant. The physical sensor will send the data over its virtual serial port as it will be connected over USB. The concept is similar to the <a href="/components/sensor.temper/">TEMPer USB</a> devices. The attatched sensor type to the microcontroller can be any kind of sensor which gives you an analog signal from brightness over soil moisture to temperature.</p>

<p>The microcontroller will only transfer the voltage of an analog input pin which will be between 0 and 1024. Home Assistant will use the new <a href="/components/sensor.serial/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">serial</code></a> sensor platform to read the data and perform actions to convert the raw reading into a real measurement. This means that you don’t have to adjust the code of your microcontroller if you change the attached sensor type.</p>

  The assembled sensor
</p>

<!--more-->

<p>All parts needed in this how-to can be bought for less than 2 Euro or 2 USD from China. I’m going to use the following items which were already available in my craft crate:</p>

<ul>
  <li><a href="http://digistump.com/category/1">Digispark USB Development Board</a></li>
  <li>Temperature sensor <a href="http://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/TMP35_36_37.pdf">TMP36</a> (or any other sensor that gives you an analog signal)</li>
  <li>Cables (if you don’t want to connect the sensor directly to the board)</li>
</ul>

<p>The cabling is easy.</p>

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Sensor</th>
      <th>Digispark</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>GND</td>
      <td>GND</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>VCC</td>
      <td>5V</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>VOUT</td>
      <td>P4</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

<p>There are other boards with the same size available. Like those with the far more powerful Mega32U4 chip. However, it would work with boards from the Arduino family as well if you adjust the code provided below.</p>

<p>The sketch is pretty simple. We are going to send the readings to a virtual <a href="https://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/digicdc">serial output</a> every 5 seconds. No logic needed. A little plus is that the onboard LED is blinking as an indicator that the board is working. <a href="https://digistump.com/wiki/digispark">Upload</a> the code to your Digispark board. Keep in mind that the upload process is different than with Arduino or ESP8266 boards.</p>

<div class="language-cpp highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="cp">#include &lt;DigiCDC.h&gt;

  <span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>To make it work with other boards simply use <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Serial"><code class="highlighter-rouge">Serial.begin(115200);</code></a> and <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/Serial/Println"><code class="highlighter-rouge">Serial.println(reading);</code></a>.</p>

<p>If you connect with a tool like <code class="highlighter-rouge">minicom</code> to your system’s serial port <code class="highlighter-rouge">/dev/ttyACM0</code>, then you will get the data. To use the sensor with Home Assistant the <a href="/components/sensor.serial/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">serial</code></a> sensor platform needs to be set up.</p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">sensor</span><span class="pi">:</span>
  <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">serial</span>
    <span class="s">port</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">/dev/ttyACM0</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>The physical sensor reads the current voltage of the pin. A <a href="/components/sensor.template/">template sensor</a> takes the reading and converts it into a measurement. The data sheet of the sensor unit usually contains details about the involved calculations.</p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>  <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">template</span>
    <span class="s">sensors</span><span class="pi">:</span>

        <span class="s">friendly_name</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">Temperature</span>
        <span class="s">unit_of_measurement</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">°C"</span>
        <span class="s">value_template</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">{{</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">(((states('sensor.serial_sensor')</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">|</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">float</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">*</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">5</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">/</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">1024</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">)</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">-</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">0.5)</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">*</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">100)</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">|</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">round(1)</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">}}"</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>Hide the serial sensor if you don’t want to see the raw data in the frontend and you are done. The whole setup with a Digispark is not very reliable because there is no hardware USB support. As a showcase and if you don’t build your automation rules around it does the sensor what it should for a very small price.</p>

    <updated>2017-10-15T06:00:00+00:00</updated>
    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/10/15/templating-date-time</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>This <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/9868">Pull Request</a> shows in a clear way what happens if the documentation is not as good as it should be. In short, it’s about <a href="/docs/configuration/templating/">Templating</a> and how people start to think about creative ways to solve it if it’s not documented. Let’s assume that we want the current year. There are a couple of options available to do that:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Query <a href="http://date.jsontest.com/">JSON Test</a> with a <a href="/components/sensor.rest/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">rest</code> sensor</a> and a <code class="highlighter-rouge">value_template:</code>.</li>
  <li>Use a <a href="/components/sensor.time_date/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">time_date</code> sensor </a> and a template <code class="highlighter-rouge"><span class="p">{</span><span class="err">{</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">strptime(states('sensor.date'),</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">'%Y-%m-%d').year</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">}</span><span class="err">}</span></code>.</li>
  <li>Write a script in language X and use it with the <a href="/components/sensor.command_line/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">command</code> sensor</a> or use <code class="highlighter-rouge">date +"%Y"</code> as a <code class="highlighter-rouge">command:</code>.</li>
</ul>

<!--more-->

<p>We want it simpler, right? <a href="/docs/configuration/templating/">Templating</a> offers <code class="highlighter-rouge">now()</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">utcnow()</code>. We will stick with <code class="highlighter-rouge">now()</code> in this blog post but it applies to <code class="highlighter-rouge">utcnow()</code> as well. Our documentation said:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><code class="highlighter-rouge">now()</code> will be rendered as current time in your time zone.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Hmmm, …OK, that’s a start. How to get the year? <code class="highlighter-rouge"><span class="p">{</span><span class="err">{</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">now()</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">}</span><span class="err">}</span></code> gives you <code class="highlighter-rouge">2017-10-14 20:27:23.700401+02:00</code> which is far more than we are looking for. As an user you don’t want to dive into the code but there would you find the solution. You will get a <a href="https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime">Python <code class="highlighter-rouge">datetime</code> object</a> from <code class="highlighter-rouge"><span class="p">{</span><span class="err">{</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">now()</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">}</span><span class="err">}</span></code>. This means that you can access more than you think in a template:</p>

<ul>
  <li>For the time: <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().microsecond</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().second</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().minute</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().hour</code></li>
  <li>For the date: <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().day</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().month</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().year</code></li>
  <li>Misc: <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().weekday()</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().isoweekday()</code></li>
</ul>

<p>For the year it would be: <code class="highlighter-rouge"><span class="p">{</span><span class="err">{</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="err">now().year</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">}</span><span class="err">}</span></code>. I guess that there are rare use cases for <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().resolution</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().min</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">now().max</code> too.</p>

<p><a href="/blog/2017/09/29/hacktoberfest/">Hacktoberfest</a> is still running. Working on the documentation is pretty easy. If you know a nice <a href="/cookbook/">trick</a>, want to help improving the page of a platform or just fix typo then please do. Our <a href="/developers/documentation/">Website/Documentation section</a> contains some requirements which are defined in the <a href="/developers/documentation/standards/">Documentation Standards</a> and the “<a href="/developers/documentation/create_page/">Create a page</a>” documentation for other useful details.</p>

<p>Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/etsinko">Egor Tsinko</a> for bringing this issue to our attention.</p>

    <link href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/10/07/release-55/"/>
    <updated>2017-10-07T10:00:00+00:00</updated>
    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/10/07/release-55</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><a href="/components/#version/0.55"><img src="/images/blog/2017-10-0.55/components.png" style="border: 0;box-shadow: none;" /></a></p>

<p>Beside the improved Wink support which was contributed by <a href="https://github.com/w1ll1am23">@w1ll1am23</a>, ships this release a wide variety of new components and platforms. The <code class="highlighter-rouge">input_slider</code> components has received a makeover by <a href="https://github.com/BioSehnsucht">@BioSehnsucht</a> and is now <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/input_number/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">input_number</code></a>. <a href="https://github.com/tinloaf">@tinloaf</a> added a feature that allows you to enter dates: <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/input_datetime/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">input_datetime</code></a>. Both will help you to improve your automation rules.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="duckdns" href="#duckdns"></a> DuckDNS</h2>
<p>Using Home Assistant with <a href="http://www.duckdns.org">DuckDNS</a> for Dynamic DNS (DDNS or DynDNS) is an <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2015/12/13/setup-encryption-using-lets-encrypt/">old story</a>. DuckDNS  is also integrated in <a href="https://home-assistant.io/addons/duckdns/">Hass.io</a>. 0.55 ships a component for non Hass.io users to get a similar feature.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="recorder" href="#recorder"></a> Recorder</h2>
<p>The purging of data was <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/recorder/">improved</a>. With <code class="highlighter-rouge">purge_interval</code> you can schedule regular purges of older events and states. In combination you can specify with <code class="highlighter-rouge">purge_keep_days</code> the amount of days you want to keep. The new service <code class="highlighter-rouge">recorder.purge</code> allows you to handle this task when needed.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="owntracks" href="#owntracks"></a> Owntracks</h2>
<p><a href="http://owntracks.org/">Owntracks</a> is an easy way to track your devices. For some times we have the device tracker which depends on <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.owntracks/">MQTT</a> but thanks to a new feature in Owntracks we can now offer support for HTTP. The <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.owntracks_http/">new platform</a> doesn’t require a MQTT broker but sends messages directly as HTTP requests to Home Assistant.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="tibber" href="#tibber"></a> Tibber</h2>
<p>This release introduces a new sensor: <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.tibber/">Tibber</a>. The sensor provides the current electricity price if you are a <a href="https://tibber.com/">Tibber</a> customer. This will allow you to make automation for turning off the heater when the electricity price is high or only charge your electric car when the prices are low. We further plan to add support for showing future electricity prices and historic electricity consumption data. Tibber is currently only available in Norway and Sweden</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="the-things-network" href="#the-things-network"></a> The Things Network</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/">The Things Network</a> (TTN) is a <a href="https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/wiki/LoRaWAN/Home">LoRaWAN</a> based network especially designed for IoT devices. With this <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/thethingsnetwork/">integration</a> one can observe the state of devices which are out of range of the local WiFi network as long as they are connected to a TTN gateway.</p>

    <updated>2017-10-06T00:36:00+00:00</updated>
    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/10/06/deprecating-python-3.4-support</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Starting with our next release, 0.55, we will deprecate Python 3.4 support. The current plan is to remove support for Python 3.4 at the beginning of 2018.</p>

<p>Python 3.5 was released on September 13th, 2015. It has since then become the default Python installation on the stable releases of Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian and Hassbian. Our other own operating system, Hass.io, is more advanced and is already running the greatly improved Python 3.6.</p>

<p>The jump to Python 3.5 as a minimum version is driven by the Home Assistant core, which is based on asyncio. Starting with Python 3.5, asyncio got improved support in the language with dedicated keywords <code class="highlighter-rouge">async</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">await</code>. As this is the proper way of doing async in Python, we’re seeing a move by async libraries to either only support the new syntax from the beginning or dropping support for the Python 3.4 approach. Not moving along means an increased maintenance burden as we cannot use the latest releases of our libraries. Next to that it will prevent our users from being able to leverage the bug fixes and performance improvements that come with Python 3.5.</p>

<h4>Hass.io</h4>
<p>If you’re running Hass.io, you don’t have to do anything. Your system will always stay up to date.</p>

<h4>Hassbian</h4>
<p>If you’re running Hassbian it’s recommended that you make a backup of your configuration files and restore them on a fresh install. Upgrading an existing installation isn’t recommended.</p>

<h4>Windows</h4>
<p>If you’re on Windows, you’re fine as our minimum version for Windows has been 3.5 for a while now.</p>

<h4>Other Debian based systems</h4>
<p>If you’re running a Debian based system, follow <a href="https://linuxconfig.org/raspbian-gnu-linux-upgrade-from-jessie-to-raspbian-stretch-9">these instructions</a> to upgrade.</p>

    <link href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/09/27/effortless-encryption-with-lets-encrypt-and-duckdns/"/>
    <updated>2017-09-27T00:05:00+00:00</updated>
    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/09/27/effortless-encryption-with-lets-encrypt-and-duckdns</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>When Let’s Encrypt launched we were estatic: finally an easy and free way for our users to securely access their homes remotely. Let’s Encrypt signifianctly lowered the bar to get and renew SSL certificates. However, this process could still be quite an obstacle for our users. It required opening ports on the router and remembering to renew the certificate every so often.</p>

<p>Thanks to a <a href="https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2017-08/10-homeassistant_duckdns_letsencrypt">blog post</a> by Andreas Gohr I realized that DuckDNS supports setting TXT records, making it compatible with the DNS-01 challenge of Let’s Encrypt. The DNS-01 challenge is using the DNS record of the domain instead of interacting with the server. This means that it’s not needed for the user to open any ports!</p>

<p>I have worked together with <a href="https://github.com/pvizeli">Pascal Vizeli</a> on updating the DuckDNS add-on for Hass.io and today we’re proud to announce it now includes automatic generation and updating of Let’s Encrypt certificates for your DuckDNS domain. The only thing that you have to add to your DuckDNS configuration is that you accept the Let’s Encrypt <a href="https://letsencrypt.org/repository/">terms of service</a> and point Home Assistant at the generated certificates and you’re good to go. No other work is required.</p>

<p>To get started today, start with making sure that you have <a href="/hassio/">Hass.io installed</a>. After that, go to the Hass.io panel in Home Assistant, open the add-on store, scroll down to DuckDNS and install it. In the DuckDNS settings change “accept_terms” to true and start it.</p>

<p>Next up is to configure Home Assistant with the config below and restart it. You’re now good to go! Make sure to use the right protocol when browsing to your instance: <code class="highlighter-rouge">https://&lt;your_domain&gt;.duckdns.org</code>. Happy secure controlling your house!</p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry for the HTTP component</span>
<span class="s">http</span><span class="pi">:</span>
  <span class="s">ssl_certificate</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">/ssl/fullchain.pem</span>
  <span class="s">ssl_key</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">/ssl/privkey.pem</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>If you’re not using Hass.io, check out the <a href="https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2017-08/10-homeassistant_duckdns_letsencrypt">blog post</a> by Andreas for instructions.</p>

    <link href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/09/26/new-hassio-build-system/"/>
    <updated>2017-09-26T03:00:00+00:00</updated>
    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/09/26/new-hassio-build-system</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p class="note">
This is going to be a technical post for Hass.io add-on developers and people that run locally build add-ons (not the default).
</p>

<p>Two months ago we <a href="/blog/2017/07/25/introducing-hassio/">introduced Hass.io</a>, allowing our users to easily install, update and manage their Home Assistant installation. In this short time we’ve seen great adoption from the community. Around 20% of our users are choosing Hass.io as their method of running Home Assistant today. We’ve also seen many add-ons being made available on <a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/tags/hassio-repository">the forums</a>. There are currently 14 reposities full of add-ons being shared!</p>

<p>Hass.io is built on top of Docker, a container runtime. One thing that Docker did not support was dynamic build environements. That was annoying for Hass.io because by supporting multiple CPU architectures, that was exactly what we needed! Luckily this feature has been added in Docker 17.05. By moving to Docker 17.05 as the minimum supported version we will be able to replace our templated Dockerfile approach with standard Dockerfiles that work out of the box. Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/frenck">Frenck</a> for notifying us of this new build feature.</p>

<p>This change only impacts people that build add-ons or use add-ons that are built locally. You can check if your add-on is building locally on the detail page of add-ons.</p>

<p class="note">
If you are an add-on developer, read <a href="/developers/hassio/addon_publishing/#custom-add-ons">the documentation</a> on how to publish your add-ons to Docker Hub. This will greatly improve the user experience.
</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="template-changes" href="#template-changes"></a> Template changes</h3>

<p>As an add-on developer, you will only have to change one line in your template to make it compatible with the new system. If you wish, you can also change the default build options for your image using the new <a href="/developers/hassio/addon_config/#add-on-extended-build"><code class="highlighter-rouge">build.json</code></a> file.</p>

<p>Old:</p>

<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>FROM %%BASE_IMAGE%%
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>New:</p>

<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>ARG BUILD_FROM
FROM $BUILD_FROM
</code></pre>
</div>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="when" href="#when"></a> When</h3>

<p>The new system will become active with Hass.io 0.64 and Host OS 1.1. Host OS 1.1 is available today. Navigate to Advanced Settings in the Hass.io panel to start the OTA update.</p>

<p>We have also updated our build scripts and replaced it with a <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-build/tree/master/builder">builder docker engine</a>. This builder makes deploying Hass.io components very easy. All basic functionality is supported. If you want more functionality, check out <a href="https://github.com/hassio-addons/build-env">the builder by the Community Hass.io Add-ons project</a>.</p>

    <link href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/09/23/release-54/"/>
    <updated>2017-09-23T00:11:05+00:00</updated>
    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/09/23/release-54</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><a href="/components/#version/0.54"><img src="/images/blog/2017-09-0.54/components.png" style="border: 0;box-shadow: none;" /></a></p>

<p>We’re approaching the end of September and that means that it was our birthday! We are now officially 4 years old and are getting more amazing with every release. This release too will include some great new stuff and tons of bugfixes. Included is a bug fix by <a href="https://github.com/fanthos">@fanthos</a> that should fix the frontend in some browsers. If you had issues with your browser before, make sure to check out this release.</p>

<p>This release we’ve started the work to make our Xiaomi integrations more robust. This meant that we’ve had to rename the components to make it more clear which of the Xiaomi protocols are being used. We have some developers working on making this very affordable home automation solution a first class citizen in the Home Assistant ecosystem, stay tuned for more integrations!</p>

<p>Another cool thing in this release is the new <a href="/components/mqtt_statestream/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">mqtt_statestream</code></a> component to export state changes to MQTT. Each entity will be exported on their own topic which makes it very easy to subscribe to individual entity updates.</p>

    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/09/16/hassbian-1.3-a-bit-of-a-stretch</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>This new release finally brings us the release of Hassbian based on the release of Raspbian Stretch. The most significant change with this is that we now run Home Assistant on Python 3.5.
Other than that the changes are mostly to our tool <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian-config</code>.</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="hassbian-config" href="#hassbian-config"></a> Hassbian-config</h3>

<p>To allow you to customize your installation further, we have made a few additions to our tool called <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian-config</code>. Majority of these changes where contributed by <a href="http://github.com/ludeeus">@Ludeeus</a>.</p>

<h4><a class="title-link" name="upgrade-scripts" href="#upgrade-scripts"></a> Upgrade scripts</h4>

<p><a href="http://github.com/ludeeus">@Ludeeus</a> contributed the possibility to run upgrade scripts to the <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian-config</code> tool.</p>

<ul>
  <li>Upgrade Hassbian: Upgrades packages of the base operating system. Contributed by <a href="http://github.com/landrash">@Landrash</a>.</li>
  <li>Upgrade Hassbian-script: Downloads and upgrades the latest release of Hassbian-scripts. Contributed by <a href="http://github.com/ludeeus">@Ludeeus</a>.</li>
  <li>Upgrade Home-assistant: Upgrades the Home Assistant installation to the latest release. Contributed by <a href="http://github.com/ludeeus">@Ludeeus</a>.</li>
</ul>

<p>To follow discussions about the development of the HASSbian image or to contribute join our <a href="https://discord.gg/RkajcgS">Discord chat server</a>.</p>

<p>To get started with the new image, check out the installation instructions on the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/docs/installation/hassbian/installation/">installing Hassbian page</a>.</p>

    <link href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/09/09/release-53/"/>
    <updated>2017-09-09T00:11:05+00:00</updated>
    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/09/09/release-53</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><a href="/components/#version/0.53"><img src="/images/blog/2017-09-0.53/components.png" style="border: 0;box-shadow: none;" /></a></p>

<p>The Home Assistant community has been super busy in the last two weeks to bring you this amazing release. 60 different contributors have done over a 100 PRs filled with new features, bug fixes and performance improvements.</p>

<p>9 days away from our 4th birthday, we’ve just accomplished a couple of great milestones that I would love to share with you. We’ve hit over 8000 stars 🌟  on GitHub and starting this release we now ship over 800 platforms and components!</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="customize-editor" href="#customize-editor"></a> Customize editor</h2>

<p>Another step in making Home Assistant configurable via the frontend has been contributed by @andrey-git: a customization editor! You are now able to inspect all (possible) customizations of an entity and update them with just a few taps. Want to change the name or icon of an entity? All possible in mere seconds.</p>

<p class="img">
<img src="/images/blog/2017-09-0.53/customize-editor.png" />
Screenshot of the new customize editor.
</p>

<p>New Home Assistant configurations will be created correctly automatically. If you are an existing user, make sure you have the config screen enabled and that you include customizations from <code class="highlighter-rouge">customize.yaml</code>.</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="c1"># Include the customizations.</span>
  <span class="s">customize</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="kt">!include</span> <span class="s">customize.yaml</span>

<span class="c1"># Enable the config screen</span>
<span class="s">config</span><span class="pi">:</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="tesla" href="#tesla"></a> Tesla</h2>

<p>Thanks to the contribution by @zabuldon, you will now be able to control your Tesla car from Home Assistant. You’re able to check the temperature inside and outside your car, control your AC and unlock the car.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="input-text" href="#input-text"></a> Input text</h2>

<p>This release introduces a new input component: <code class="highlighter-rouge">input_text</code> contributed by @BioSehnsucht. With this component you will be able to set free form from the UI and then let that be used by your automations or templates.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="knx" href="#knx"></a> KNX</h2>

<p>This release ships a new KNX implementation thanks to @Julius2342. It will instantly show all changed states of KNX devices within Home Assistant. Additionally it brings support for HVAC devices and notification services. It also adds a service for direct communication with the KNX bus. You can connect to KNX/IP routing and tunnelling devices. In the background it uses asyncio communication. Check the climate integration in action <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI0VJzlGpx4">here</a> and see the lights in action below:</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="breaking-changes" href="#breaking-changes"></a> Breaking Changes</h2>

<ul>
  <li>The new customize editor is using the file <code class="highlighter-rouge">customize.yaml</code> in your config folder. If you are using this file today for other config, make sure to rename it before using the new customize UI editor. (<a href="https://github.com/andrey-git">@andrey-git</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/9134">#9134</a>) (<a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/config/">config docs</a>) (breaking change) (new-platform)</li>
  <li>The frontend component now supports loading custom html files when Home Assistant front end starts  (<a href="https://github.com/andrey-git">@andrey-git</a> - <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/9150">#9150</a>) (breaking change). It could be Javascript, CSS or custom Web Components. Along there was a breaking change in the way Custom UI is used:
    <ul>
      <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">custom_ui_state_card</code> now specifies the exact element name and not a suffix after <code class="highlighter-rouge">state-card</code>. So if you had <code class="highlighter-rouge">state_card_custom_ui: custom-ui</code> in your config, you should change it to <code class="highlighter-rouge">state_card_custom_ui: state-card-custom-ui</code></li>
      <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">custom_ui_state_card</code> no longer makes the html fetch, you should make it separately:</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>frontend:
  extra_html_url:
    - /local/custom_ui/state-card-custom-ui.html
</code></pre>
</div>

<ul>
  <li>The Egardia alarm control panel now defaults to port 52010 instead of 85.

    <updated>2017-08-26T00:11:05+00:00</updated>
    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/08/26/release-0-52</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><a href="/components/#version/0.52"><img src="/images/blog/2017-08-0.52/components.png" style="border: 0;box-shadow: none;" /></a></p>

<p>Although the summer is in full progress, the development hasn’t stalled. This release brings bug fixes, clean ups and another 8 new integrations. On top of that we are also introducing a new <a href="/docs/scripts/editor/">script editor</a>!</p>

<p>To use the scripts editor, create a new file in your config directory named <code class="highlighter-rouge">scripts.yaml</code> and copy your existing scripts over:</p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># scripts.yaml</span>
<span class="s">turn_on_some_lights</span><span class="pi">:</span>
  <span class="s">alias</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">Turn on the lights</span>
  <span class="s">sequence</span><span class="pi">:</span>
  <span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">data</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="pi">{}</span>
    <span class="s">service</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">light.turn_on</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

<p>Than update your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> to look like this:</p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Configuration.yaml example</span>
<span class="s">script</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="kt">!include</span> <span class="s">scripts.yaml</span>
</code></pre>

  <li>MySensors: Not a breaking change per se but users that have not been following the mysensors <a href="https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20">serial API</a> could face dropped messages after this change. Messages are now validated according to the API before being passed along from/to devices. See <a href="https://github.com/theolind/pymysensors/releases/tag/0.11">0.11 release notes</a> for more info.

  <li>Automatic has disabled password authentication on their API. Home Assistant will now use OAuth2 to authenticate accounts. The following steps must be taken to transition your setup:
1) Log in to your Automatic developer account. In the Automatic Developer Apps Manager, specify the OAuth Redirect URL in the developer page. This should be configured to <code class="highlighter-rouge">&lt;home-assistant-url&gt;/api/automatic/callback</code>. (Example: <code class="highlighter-rouge">http://hassio.local:8123/api/automatic/callback</code>) Note that this URL only needs to be accessible from the browser you use to perform the authentication.
2) Remove username/password from your automatic device tracker configuration in configuration.yaml.
3) If you have authorized your account for <code class="highlighter-rouge">scope:current_location</code>, add <code class="highlighter-rouge">current_location: true</code> to your automatic device tracker configuration in configuration.yaml.
4) When you restart Home Assistant, click on the Automatic Configure link in the Configurator card, and follow the instructions to authorize Home Assistant.<br /><br />NOTE: Automatic’s API is currently not correctly authorizing with refresh tokens, so Step 4 currently needs to be performed after every restart.

    <link href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/08/12/release-51/"/>
    <updated>2017-08-12T00:11:05+00:00</updated>
    <id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/08/12/release-51</id>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><a href="/components/#version/0.51"><img src="/images/blog/2017-08-0.51/components.png" style="border: 0;box-shadow: none;" /></a></p>

<p class="note warning">This release has to do a one time database migration which can take a long time on big databases (20 minutes). During this time the frontend will not work. Do not stop Home  Assistant while it is in progress.</p>

<p>Release 0.51 is around the corner and it contains some really great updates.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="database-speed-up" href="#database-speed-up"></a> Database speed up</h2>

<p>The first one is more amazing database updates <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/8748">#8748</a> by <a href="https://github.com/OverloadUT">@OverloadUT</a>. Every query that has been tested executes in well under 1 second, even on a RPi using MySQL with 6 million rows and around 300 entities. This is true even when you’re getting an unrealistically huge date range!</p>

<p>Updating the database will take some time when you start Home Assistant. During that time, the Home Assistant frontend is not accessible. Please let it complete and do not turn Home Assistant off.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="frontend-update" href="#frontend-update"></a> Frontend update</h2>

<p>We have finished the migration of our frontend to be powered by Polymer 2. This has given us a big speed boost on Safari/iOS devices and has fixed a wide range of bugs.</p>

<p>We have also finished the automation editor. All triggers and actions are now implemented and so are most conditions (missing are <code class="highlighter-rouge">and</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">or</code>). The automation editor is also no longer Chrome only, it can now also be used in Safari.</p>

<p>Another change to the frontend is that we have reorganized the panels. The Z-Wave and automation configuration panels have been merged into the configuration panel.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="vacuum-cleaners" href="#vacuum-cleaners"></a> Vacuum cleaners</h2>

<p>As we have seen more vacuum cleaners land in Home Assistant, it was time to create an official component for them. That’s why <a href="https://github.com/azogue">@azogue</a> introduced the new vacuum cleaner component in  <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/8623">#8623</a>. This allows first class integration of vacuum cleaners in Home Assistant. Out of the box we will have Dyson, Xiamo and Roomba as supported platforms.</p>
