Download Home Assistant 0.76

Home Assistant is an open source home automation platform that runs under Python 3. It runs via Hassbian on a Raspberry Pi 3 or a Linux, macOS or Windows computer. It supports detecting devices, such as Nest thermostats, Philips Hue, Belkin WeMo switches, Mr. Coffee makers and the mqtt protocol. In addition, where possible, it can control these devices and apply automation. For more information, please refer to this page and our forum. The developers have released version 0.76 and the release notes for that release can be found below.

0.76: Auth almost done, FleetGo, PJLink, RMV public transport

This release has a migration, initial startup can take ~20 minutes (depends on size DB)

This release includes a database migration to allow us to store context in the database. This will make it possible in the future to introduce attribution. For example, we’ll be able to say which user opened the garage door or which automation triggered the party mode at 3am.

The auth system is entering release candidate status. If nothing major is found, it will be enabled by default starting the next release (0.77) with backwards compatability mode turned on. If you want to get ahead of the pack, you can already easily enable it now:

homeassistant: # add this part auth_providers: – type: homeassistant # uncomment this to enable backwards compatible API password support # – type: legacy_api_password

For iOS users, your frontend should be a lot faster. We had an issue that forced us to serve the frontend in compatability mode, which is slower. We haven’t been able to solve the issue, but found a workaround. Race on ??.
