Before mentioning the highlights I want to thank [andythigpen](https://github.com/andythigpen), [jamespcole](https://github.com/jamespcole) and [theolind](https://github.com/theolind) for numerous bug fixes, enhancements and new contributions. Thanks! + +__Monitor local resources.__
+Theodor has contributed a new sensor platform to allow you to monitor disk usage, memory usage, CPU usage and running processes. This platform has superseded the process component which is now considered deprecated. + +```yaml +# Example configuration.yaml entry +sensor: + - platform: systemmonitor + resources: + - type: disk_use_percent + arg: /home + - type: memory_free + - type: process + arg: kodi +``` + +__Experimental Z-Wave support__
+There is now experimental support for connecting Z-Wave networks using a Z-Wave USB stick. Right now it only integrates Z-Wave sensors into Home Assistant. Our goal is to get this tested by more people before adding support for other Z-Wave devices. + +The new component is built on top of [python-openzwave](https://code.google.com/p/python-openzwave/). This package is currently not distributed on PyPi so we've added a script `scripts/build_python_openzwave` to install it on your machine. Alternatively you can use the Docker image which is ready to go. + +The development was done using an AEON Z-Wave USB stick and an AEON Z-Wave MultiSensor. + +```yaml +# Example configuration.yaml entry +zwave: + usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB0 +``` + +__Voice control__
+An initial version of voice control for Home Assistant has landed. The current implementation consists of two parts. + +The first part is a component called `conversation` that exposes the service `conversation/process`. This service is capable of processing text and translating them into commands for devices. For now it will only support commands in the format of `Turn `. + +The second part is an upgrade to the frontend to use the speech-to-text in Chrome to allow users to speak commands. If you're using Chrome, you can test this out in [the demo](/demo/). + +```yaml +# Example configuration.yaml entry +conversation: +``` diff --git a/source/index.html b/source/index.html index 8afdee80f36..30985c33fb2 100644 --- a/source/index.html +++ b/source/index.html @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ is_homepage: true
