This release contain some breaking changes. Please make sure that you check the section below if you are running into trouble.

Assistant configs

We made a mistake in the foundation of both the Google Assistant and Alexa integrations: they were storing their config inside customize. This is not the right place and we moved them to be under the components itself. See the breaking changes section on how to migrate.

Hass.io updates

@pvizeli has made it easier to create and restore snapshots for Hass.io by calling the new services. This way it will be easy to automate the creation of a snapshot at night. The updater has also been fixed and will now report on new versions of Hass.io that are available.

Improved loading speed

@amelchio has made startup of Home Assistant even faster. All service descriptions are now loaded only when needed by the frontend instead of during startup. This did mean that we had to enforce our service convention. We found a few platforms that didn’t follow this and they have been updated:

todoist.new_task -> calendar.todoist_new_task snapcast.snapcast_snapshot -> media_player.snapcast_snapshot snapcast.snapcast_restore -> media_player.snapcast_restore mopar.remote_command -> sensor.mopar_remote_command broadlink.learn_command_192_168_0_107 -> switch.broadlink_learn_command_192_168_0_107 broadlink.send_packet_192_168_0_107 -> switch.broadlink_send_packet_192_168_0_107
