Home Assistant is een opensourceplatform voor home-automation dat draait onder Python 3. Het draait via Hassbian op een Raspberry Pi 3 of een Linux-, macOS- of Windows-computer. Het ondersteunt het detecteren van apparaten, zoals Nest-thermostaten, Philips Hue, Belkin WeMo-schakelaars, Mr. Coffee-koffiezetapparaten en het mqtt-protocol. Daarnaast kan het waar mogelijk deze apparaten aansturen en automatisering toepassen. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we naar deze pagina en ons forum. De ontwikkelaars hebben versie 0.71 uitgebracht. De belangrijkste verbeteringen die daarin zijn aangebracht zijn hieronder te vinden.
0.71: Lagute LW-12, Iperf3, Hydrawise, Ryobi Garage Doors0.71 has arrived. My favorite feature in this release is the conversion of the Nest component from cloud poll to cloud push. Sure, it’s still through the cloud but changes are now made available in Home Assistnat as soon as they happen. Thanks @awarecan!
We’ve continued the frontend tweaks after the major overhaul in the last release. We’ve had some issues with the Hass.io panel on both Firefox and Safari. They have been addressed and all browsers should hopefully work again.
On the frontend side, custom panels have gotten some new tricks, including support for building panels using React. So if you’re a developer, check it out. And thanks to @c727 a lot more strings can now be translated. More info on how to help with translating the frontend can be found here.
HomeKit support also keeps growing. This release includes support for media players, automations and outlets thanks to @schmittx.
And in case you missed it, @OttoWinter has created esphomeyaml, which allows you to program and deploy ESP chips throughout your house by using a Home Assistant inspired
configuration.yaml
. Check it out.
