[balloob]

In this release a ton of new stuff! And who doesn't like new stuff? This release we're passing the 700 integrations for Home Assistant. As of today [we're 1369 days old][first-commit], which means that roughly every two days a new integration gets added!

Python Scripts

The biggest change is a new type of script component: Python scripts. This new component will allow you to write scripts to manipulate Home Assistant: call services, set states and fire events. Each Python script is made available as a service. Head over to the docs to see how to get started.

Updater

The updater has received a new opt-in option to let us know which components you use. This will allow us to focus development efforts on the components that are popular.

updater:
  include_used_components: true

And as a reminder. We will never share gathered data in a manner that can be used to identify anyone. We do plan on making aggregate data public soon. This will include total number of users and which hardware/software platform people use to run Home Assistant.

Z-Wave

Z-Wave is also getting a big update in this release. The confusing entity_ids will be on their way out. There is a zwave blog post that gives more detail, but the upgrade steps will be as follows:

1. Run Home Assistant as normal and the old IDs will still be used.
2. The new entity IDs will be shown in the more-info dialog for each entity. Check to make sure none of them will have conflicts once the new names are applied.
3. Rename entities using the ui card as described in the blog post to avoid conflicts. Restart Home Assistant to observe the changes.
4. Update all places mentioning IDs (groups, automation, customization, etc.) in configuration.yaml.
5. Add new_entity_ids: true to your zwave config.
6. Restart Home Assistant to run with new IDs.
7. The old entity IDs will be available in the more info dialog to trace down any remaining errors.

Breaking changes

• Update opencv config to match other image processors (@Teagan42 - #7864) (opencv docs) (image_processing.opencv docs) (breaking change)

image_processing:
  - platform: opencv
    name: OpenCV
    source:
      - entity_id: camera.front_door
    classifier:
      faces:
        file: /path/to/classifier
        name: Husband
        neighbors: 4
        min_size: (40, 40)
        scale: 1.1

• Lutron: Add configuration check and use default var names (@fabaff - #7963) (lutron docs) (light.lutron docs) (breaking change)

lutron:
  host: IP_ADDRESS
  username: lutron
  password: integration

• Convert mailgun to component (@happyleavesaoc - #7984) (mailgun docs) (notify.mailgun docs) (breaking change) (new-platform)

mailgun:
  domain: !secret mailgun_domain
  api_key: !secret mailgun_api_key
  sandbox: False

notify:
  - name: mailgun
    platform: mailgun
    recipient: !secret mailgun_recipient

• Use standard entity_ids for zwave entities. This also introduces a small API breakage, where EVENT_SCENE_ACTIVATED and EVENT_NODE_EVENT will no longer supply an object_id. They will now be tied to the node entity_id. (@armills - #7786) (zwave docs) (light.zwave docs) (breaking change)
• Fix attribute entities. Home Assistant will no longer filter out entities that are 'falsey'. So you might see more entity attributes show up. (@pvizeli - #8066) (breaking change)

[brianjking]

Any chance of getting #8074 and #8075 in before this is released? Thank you so much!
