Version 2022.2 of Home Assistant Core has been released. Home Assistant Core is an open source home automation platform that runs under Python 3. It runs via Hassbian on a Raspberry Pi 3 or a Linux, macOS or Windows computer. It supports detecting devices, such as Philips Hue, Belkin WeMo switches, Mr. Coffee makers, the smart switches from IKEA and the mqtt protocol. In addition, it can control these devices and apply automation where possible. For more information about Home Assistant we refer to this page and our own Forum. The full release notes for this release are here to find; this is the announcement from it:
2022.2: Let’s start streaming!
I’m not sure if this is really fitting; it is February already… but since this is the first release of the year, I’m going to say it anyway:
Happy New Year
And, since we have skipped the January release, this release became a big one. Over 2,500 contributions make this release the largest one we have ever shipped! Including 15 brand-new integrations and 13 existing integrations, which are now available to set up via the user interface.
Now don’t be scared when you look at the breaking changes section. It is a lot, however, most of those are cleanup of old deprecations, or caused by things moving to the UI. No better way to start a fresh year, than by cleaning up
By the way, in case you’ve missed it, @balloob published a blog post last week about the focus for Home Assistant in 2022: Streamlining Experiences† I’m stoked about it, and am really looking forward to what this year will do for Home Assistant! Go 2022!
What is your new years’ resolution for your smart home this year?
Enjoy the release!
