Rohan and Phil are joined by Jared to talk about 0.73 and the enhancements already made to Lovelace, as well as Jareds unique Home Assistant setup.
- 0.73
- New Features
- Lovelace (lots of updates – here’s a couple):
- New card: iframe
- New feature to allow Lovelace to be default for /
- Added panel mode for a view to use 1st card to fill whole screen (great for floorplans)
- Dal3h’s Migration Script for Lovelace, which supports packages: https://github.com/dale3h/python-lovelace
- Otto Winters Migration Script: https://gist.github.com/OttoWinter/730383148041824bc47786ea292572f8
- New Auth System
- Paulus and @awarecan sprinted to build a viable product for the new auth system (first announced in 0.69)
- Today its only CLI-based; no hass.io support or UI yet
- More info on the dev blog at https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2018/07/02/trying-new-auth.html
- Support for Homekit Controller climate devices – To get your HomeKit thermostats and air conditioners working with Home Assistant
- Updates on Rachio with Webhook support – Rather than polling the server every few seconds and hitting the newly-imposed rate limit, this implementation uses webhooks for instant updates with only a few API calls at startup and when manually toggling switches.
- Lovelace (lots of updates – here’s a couple):
- Breaking Changes
- Pi-Hole: The pi_hole sensor is now limited to ads_blocked_today by default and will no longer show all available data. Use monitored_conditions to list the sensors you want.
- Update PostNL unit of measure to align with UPS (use `packages` instead of `package`)
- Make Pollen.com platform async
- Adding ‘namespace’ for prometheus metrics
- Fix zwave climate operation mode mappings
- Anyone who has enabled use_x_forwarded_for will need to explicitly whitelist their proxy/proxies using the new trusted_proxies setting.
- Deprecate TLSv1 and TLSv1_1 support
- Noteworthy Changes
- If you’re using any custom components, these will now add warnings to your Home Assistant log files. Nothing is being deprecated, but there’s been some instances of custom components causing issues recently.
- Running Apps on FireTV are now displayed
- New Features
- Reminder for Google Maps Platform, need to put a credit card behind the account before July 16
- TileBoard UI for Home Assistant: https://github.com/resoai/TileBoard
- Today’s Guest Jared Quinn
