## Trigger-based template sensors
|

|

If you want more control over when an entity updates, you can define a trigger. Triggers follow the same format and work exactly the same as [triggers in automations][trigger-doc]. This feature is a great way to create entities based on webhook data, or update entities based on a schedule.

This feature is a great way to create entities based on webhook data ([example](#storing-webhook-information)), or update entities based on a schedule.

Whenever the trigger fires, all related entities will re-render and it will have access to [the trigger data](/docs/automation/templating/) in the templates.

These are the beta release notes for Home Assistant Core 2021.5 (and is thus a
|
||||
work in progress).
|
||||
Here I am again, a month later. Are you used to these monthly release cycles
|
||||
yet? Hello, 2021.5! Nice to see you this May!
|
||||
|
||||
If you encounter any issues with the beta release, please report them on GitHub:
|
||||
I would say this release is a bit less feature rich compared to the previous
|
||||
release (which was epic, in my opinion!). But it is not a bad thing!

|
||||
Some really good stability improvements have been introduced this release! Not
|
||||
the hot new items you want to explore immediately, but these fundamental things
|
||||
will really help our systems now and in the future. Making this release an
|
||||
upgrade that would be a smooth sail for most of us (check the breaking changes).
|
||||
|
||||
Please be sure to include the beta version you are running in the issue
|
||||
description (not title), so we can classify your issue correctly.
|
||||
The most visual part changed this release can be found in the facelift that the
|
||||
integrations dashboard got. Oh, and the new color modes for lights is an amazing
|
||||
improvement as well!
|
||||
|
||||
Issues introduced in the beta are processed with priority.
|
||||
May... For me, that feels like the summer is slowly trying to make its
|
||||
appearance and I'm looking forward to it 🕶. Do you have a summer
|
||||
Home Automation project figured out yet?
|
||||
|
||||
This release we did an exhaustive review of the startup, shutdown, and upgrade
|
||||
processes.

Oh, and don't forget to tune into the release party live stream later today!

## Code Editor bug & Safari
|

|

We are aware of bug with CodeMirror, the code editor in Home Assistant

used for things like YAML, when using the Safari browser.

|
||||
We currently advise not to use Safari when using the code editor in

We are working with the upstream project to have this fixed during the beta.

## Why Home Assistant didn’t restart when I pressed the restart button?

So, why didn't Home Assistant restart when you press the restart button?

This question we have seen quite a few times and was a rather annoying

occurrence that has been improved.

|
||||
|
||||
We adjusted timeouts and fixed a few places where shutdown would block
|
||||
forever, for example, when restarting Home Assistant the configuration gets
|
||||
checked and there was a case that could hang in this check forever.
|
||||
|
||||
Restarts are faster now... (WTH https://community.home-assistant.io/t/wth-stopping-service-is-too-slow/220507),

as more parts of Home Assistant now cancel/react to the shutdown procedure

better.

## Trigger-based binary template sensor
|
||||
|
||||
## Docker
|
||||
In the [previous release][previous], we introduced a trigger-based template
|
||||
sensor. This release extends on that features by adding support for
|
||||
trigger-based binary sensors using templates.
|
||||
|
||||
We are now using both Docker and GitHub container registries. If you want use the new GHCR,
|
||||
just use `ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant` instead of `homeassistant/home-assistant`.
|
||||
Trigger-based binary sensors can also be configured with an `auto_off` duration.
|
||||
This will automatically turn a binary sensor state to `off` after the specified
|
||||
duration.
|
||||
|
||||
Our core images are now also signed with [CodeNotary](https://codenotary.io) and allow to check integrity of our images.
|
||||
CodeNotary is a distributed Ledger solution using the [immudb](https://github.com/codenotary/immudb) as a database for built-in cryptographic proof and verification.
|
||||
{% raw %}
|
||||
|
||||
If you running the Supervisord or Operating-System, we check allready the integrity of our distributed content. If you running the container installation,
|
||||
you can install the [VCN](https://github.com/codenotary/vcn) or simple `bash <(curl https://getvcn.codenotary.io -L)`. Now you can use it like:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
template:
|
||||
- trigger:
|
||||
- platform: event
|
||||
event_type: netatmo_event
|
||||
event_data:
|
||||
type: movement
|
||||
binary_sensor:
|
||||
- name: "Motion"
|
||||
# We use auto_off, so just set it to true on each trigger
|
||||
state: "true"
|
||||
device_class: motion
|
||||
# Automatically turn off 60 seconds after the last event
|
||||
auto_off: 60
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
{% endraw %}
|
||||
|
||||
Some other ideas:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Store webhook information in Home Assistant](/integrations/template/#storing-webhook-information)
|
||||
- One that updates based on a time trigger once a day
|
||||
(e.g., "Is is my birthday?" binary sensor).
|
||||
|
||||
[previous]: /blog/2021/04/07/release-20214/#trigger-based-template-sensors
|
||||
|
||||
## Docker images now signed and available on the GitHub Container Registry
|
||||
|
||||
We are now using both DockerHub and the new GitHub Container Registry.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the new GitHub Container Registry, just use:
|
||||
|
||||
`ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant`
|
||||
|
||||
(Instead of `homeassistant/home-assistant`)
|
||||
|
||||
Our core images are now also signed with [CodeNotary](https://codenotary.io)
|
||||
and allowing you to check the integrity of our images.
|
||||
|
||||
CodeNotary is a distributed Ledger solution using the
|
||||
[immudb](https://github.com/codenotary/immudb) as a database for built-in
|
||||
cryptographic proof and verification.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are running the Home Assistant Operating System or a Supervised
|
||||
installation type, we already check the integrity of our distributed content.
|
||||
If you running the Container installation, you can install the
|
||||
[VCN](https://github.com/codenotary/vcn) tool.
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can use it like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
docker pull ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:2021.5.0
|
||||
vcn authenticate --org home-assistant.io docker://ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:2021.5.0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will tell/confirm that the image you have, is actually created
|
||||
and shipped by the Home Assistant project.
|
||||
|
||||
## Other noteworthy changes
|
||||
|
||||
There is much more juice in this release; here are some of the other
|
||||
noteworthy changes this release:
|
||||
|
||||
Backend things/candidates:
|
||||
- Are you in meetings a lot? The new [mutesync][mutesync docs] integration
|
||||
shows if you're in a meeting and if you're muted in Home Assistant. This will
|
||||
unlock some cool do-not-disturb automations.
|
||||
- We did an audit of memory leaks and fixed a couple of generic cases in our
|
||||
core codebase. But also fixed over 15 cases during unload/reload in popular
|
||||
integrations.
|
||||
- The TTS service by Home Assistant Cloud now uses an improved bitrate,
|
||||
making it sound even more impressive.
|
||||
- ClimaCell now supports the v4 API. So, I've you've wanted to test it out you
|
||||
can now actually use it with the new API keys. Thanks [@raman325]!
|
||||
- If you are into templating, we now have `min()` and `max()` available
|
||||
as functions in Jinja templates.
|
||||
- The AdGuard integration now supports multiple instances thanks to [@eifinger].
|
||||
- When viewing your logs in the frontend, the log entry will tell you if
|
||||
the log was created by a custom integration.
|
||||
- If you have a Sonos Move or Sonos Roam, you can now see their battery level
|
||||
and charging state. Thanks for that [@hufman] and [@jjlawren].
|
||||
- Template covers now can have an opening and closing state, which was added by
|
||||
[@bdr99], thanks for that!
|
||||
- The ZHA integration now has configuration options in the UI, allowing you
|
||||
to set things like default transition times for your lights.
|
||||
Thanks [@dmulcahey]!
|
||||
- The Z-Wave JS integration now allows you to re-interview a device from the
|
||||
UI thanks to [@cgarwood].
|
||||
- [@cgarwood] didn't stop there, you can now opt-in for sending Z-Wave JS
|
||||
telemetry to the Z-Wave JS project to help them out. This can be turned
|
||||
on in the Z-Wave JS configuration panel.

It used to be set to empty string. If you have automations, scripts or external

data recorder that rely on unit of measurement for these sensors, you might

need to adjust to this change.

Please adjust your YAML configuration for this change.

We don't run a udev instance anymore inside the container. This was used by the Supervisor
|
||||
which now using the host udev over all containers.
|
||||
Tasmota lights no longer supports deprecated `white_value`, use `rgbw_color`
|
||||
instead.
|
||||
|
||||
For now, we have a fallback ENV variable `USING_UDEV=1` which you can set on your container
|
||||
to get the old behavier and give you time for using the docker way to map/use devices.

The Tasmota Wi-Fi RSSI sensor unit was wrong, it is **dBm** and not **dB**.

If you rely on the unit of measurement from this sensor, you might need to
|

adjust to this change.

The Waze Travel Time integration is now configured via the UI. Configuring

the integration via YAML is now deprecated. Existing YAML configuration is

automatically imported on upgrade and can be safely removed after upgrade.

If the `default_interface` is not set, the value is auto-detected based on the
|
||||
system routing next hop for the mDNS broadcast address (`224.0.0.251`).
|
||||
|
||||
If the next-hop cannot be detected or is a loopback address, `zeroconf` will
|
||||
broadcast on all interfaces. If the next hop is a non-loopback address,
|
||||
`zeroconf` will only broadcast on the default interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting the `default_interface` to `true` or `false` will override the auto
|
||||
detection.
