It explains all the data that Home Assistant stores and how you can get a data science environment going to explore it yourself. This release also features native support for [ESPHome](https://esphomelib.com/esphomeyaml/index.html), a system for managing ESP8266 and ESP32 microchips with a YAML config inspired by Home Assistant. The native API replaces MQTT for ESPHome firmwares and is designed specifically for Home Assistant and absolute efficiency. 🏎 It also comes with a Hass.io add-on to make configuration even easier.
