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, de slimme schakelaars van Ikea 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 0.81 uitgebracht en de release notes voor die uitgave zijn hieronder te vinden.
0.81: new Lovelace cards, LG soundbars, Dyson fans, Elk-M1This release is a major milestone – 100 contributors have contributed over the last two weeks. A great bit thank you to everybody who contributed, both those returning and those who’ve been involved for their first time.
To go with the configuration entry support, MQTT also now also integrates with the device registry. Not to be left out, LIFX, SimpliSafe, and Z-Wave have all gained both device registry support, and configuration entry support.
Lovelace has another three new cards, the alarm panel, the button card, and the thermostat card. The glance card, and the button card can also be themed now, and the way the columns in the glance card has changed. There’s also long press support, custom UI support, and more (yes, Lovelace is feeling the love this release).
Other things to be aware of:
New Platforms
- We have a new service
home_assistant.update_entity
to request the update of an entity, rather than waiting for the next scheduled update. This means you can set a really longscan_interval
in the platform_options and then update on demand, ideal for those services where you have low API limit.- Template sensors will no longer auto update if we can’t find relevant entities in the template. You’ll want to review your template sensors and consider adding relevant
entity_id
entries or use the newhomeassistant.update_entity
service.- Water heaters get their own platform separate from
climate
, because you’re not a fish living inside the hot water tankNew Features
