Almost three busy weeks have past since the last release. We used this time to finally make the overhaul to use UTC as the internal date time format. We added a bunch of test coverage in the process to make sure the transition went smoothly. Pleas see the blog post about the UTC refactor for backwards incompatible changes.

This release includes a significant startup boost for the frontend and a fix for Wemo discovery after their latest firmware upgrade.

I would like to give a big shout out to our newest contributor fabaff for taking the time to improve the documentation.

To update to the latest version, run scripts/update. Please report any issues on GitHub.

Overwriting Entity Attributes Before diving into the newly supported devices and services, I want to highlight an awesome configuration enhancement by rmkraus: overwriting entity attributes.

These new configuration settings allow you to overwrite entity state attributes. The main usage for this is being able to overwrite attributes that influence how an entity is shown in the interface.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
homeassistant:
  customize:
    light.bowl:
      # hides this entity from the interface
      hidden: true
    light.ceiling:
      # Replaces the state badge with given picture
      entity_picture: http://graph.facebook.com/schoutsen/picture

# Example configuration.yaml entry
