This has since been renamed to standard mode and advanced mode. + The Home Assistant UI has two different modes. There is a simple mode and an advanced mode. Simple mode has been introduced recently in [Home Assistant 0.96](https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2019/07/17/release-96/#advanced-mode). In this post I want to outline my vision for simple mode in Home Assistant 1.0. **With simple mode we focus on the core Home Assistant experience. We're trying to answer the question: what is it that we want anyone to be able to do. Can we make it intuitive enough that people, young and old, can install Home Assistant and use it.** diff --git a/website/blog/2020-02-04-new-zwave.md b/website/blog/2020-02-04-new-zwave.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..8d94ef16 --- /dev/null +++ b/website/blog/2020-02-04-new-zwave.md @@ -0,0 +1,36 @@ +--- +author: Paulus Schoutsen +authorURL: https://twitter.com/balloob +authorImageURL: /img/profile/paulus.jpg +authorTwitter: balloob +title: Update on the Z-Wave integration +--- + +At the State of the Union we [introduced that we're working on a new Z-Wave integration](https://youtu.be/tc17q1Zn0Xs?t=4482). It's based on a new project by the Open Z-Wave project called [OZWDaemon](https://github.com/OpenZWave/qt-openzwave) and we will communicate with it over MQTT. + +This new approach allows us to integrate directly with the core of Open Z-Wave without relying on bindings via other languages. This allows us to easily keep up to date with the latest Open Z-Wave versions. + +There has been some great progress on the integration thanks to [@cgarwood] and [@marcelveldt] and you can start testing it out today as [a custom component](https://github.com/cgarwood/homeassistant-zwave_mqtt). It's still early and not every device type is supported yet. Currently it supports lights, switches, sensors and binary sensors. The custom component is powered by the new [`python-openzwave-mqtt`](https://github.com/cgarwood/python-openzwave-mqtt) package. + +[Please try it out.](https://github.com/cgarwood/homeassistant-zwave_mqtt#requirements) If you find any bugs, [create an issue](https://github.com/cgarwood/homeassistant-zwave_mqtt/issues/new). If you are using Home Assistant 0.105, use the new `mqtt.dump` service on topic `openzwave/#` to make a dump of your Open Z-Wave instance and attach that to your issue. The dump will be written to `mqtt_dump.txt` in your config folder. + +Once the integration is mature enough, it will become part of Home Assistant Core. + +[@cgarwood]: https://github.com/cgarwood +[@marcelveldt]: https://github.com/marcelveldt + + + +## Comments + +
