It has only been a little over a week since Theodor introduced YAML support for Home Assistant but so much has already happened that it is time for a summary of recent changes. 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.__<br>
|
||||
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 This platform has superseded the process component which is now considered deprecated.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__<br>
|
||||
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__<br>
|
||||
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 <Friendly Name> <on/off>`.
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
```
