For this release the main +focus was bugs, test coverage and documentation. And we exceeded expectations on all three fronts. Bugs have been +squashed, [test coverage increased to 85%](https://coveralls.io/builds/3946399) and thanks to the hard work by +[@fabaff](https://github.com/fabaff) and myself the [component section](/components/) on the website has gotten a +complete revamp. + +#### Changes + + + + + + - Device tracker: Newer [TP-Link routers](/components/device_tracker.tplink.html) now supported ([@mKeRix](https://github.com/mKeRix)) + - Alarm Control Panel: [Manual alarm](/components/alarm_control_panel.manual.html) added ([@sfam](https://github.com/sfam)) + - Thermostat: [Radiotherm](/components/thermostat.radiotherm.html) now supported ([@toddeye](https://github.com/toddeye)) + - Media Player: [Amazon FireTV](/components/media_player.firetv.html) now supported ([@happyleavesaoc](https://github.com/happyleavesaoc)) + - Device Tracker: [Geofancy](/components/device_tracker.geofancy.html) now supported ([@wind-rider](https://github.com/wind-rider)) + - New component [Shell Command](/components/shell_command.html) can expose shell commands as services ([@balloob](https://github.com/balloob)) + - [Scripts](/components/script.html) can now be customized using `customize` key in `configuration.yaml` ([@balloob](https://github.com/balloob)) + - Light: [Hyperion](/components/light.hyperion.html) now supported ([@MakeMeASandwich](https://github.com/MakeMeASandwich)) + - Sensor: [aRest](/components/sensor.arest.html) can now also read out pins ([@balloob](https://github.com/balloob)) + - Sensor: [Forecast.io](/components/sensor.forecast.html) now supports specifying units in `configuration.yaml` ([@balloob](https://github.com/balloob)) + - Thermostat: [Heat Control](/components/thermostat.heat_control.html) has been completely rewritten ([@balloob](https://github.com/balloob)) + - Switch: [Rest](/components/switch.rest.html) now supported ([@bachp](https://github.com/bachp)) + - Media Player: [Plex](/components/media_player.plex.html) can now be auto discovered and configure itself ([@tomduijf](https://github.com/tomduijf)) + - [Downloader](/components/downloader.html) will now treat relative paths based on config dir ([@tomduijf](https://github.com/tomduijf)) + - Line Charts will use interpolation for sensor data and show current and target temperature for thermostats ([@balloob](https://github.com/balloob)) + + + +#### Breaking changes + +As part of this release we did some cleanup which introduced backwards incompatible changes: + +**Heat Control thermostat no longer includes scheduling features.**
+This feature has been removed completely. Use the [automation component](/components/automation.html) +instead to control target temperature. + +**Config changed for calling a service from a script.**
+`execute_service:` has been replaced with `service:`. See [component page](/components/script.html) +for example. The old method will continue working for some time. + +**Scenes can no longer be turned off.**
+It is no longer possible to turn a scene off after it has been activated. The way it worked was unpredictable +and causes a lot of confusion. + +**Downloader treats relative paths now relative to the config dir instead of the current working dir.**
+This makes more sense as most people run Home Assistant as a daemon
