0.77: 认证 system 👮‍♂️ + Hangouts bot 🤖

It's time for a great new 发布 and it includes a big change: the new authentication system has been activated! We've worked very hard on this for the last couple of months to make the transition as smooth as possible. Updating to this 发布 is a non-breaking change (unless you had no API 密码 configured). As can be seen in the video above, when you start Home Assistant after the 更新, you will be presented with our new onboarding flow. This will ask you to create a new account after which you will be able to 日志 in to Home Assistant.

Once logged in, you will have access to the following new features:

  • Change your 密码
  • 配置 multifactor 认证 (TOTP)
  • Manage other 用户 (limited to account 创建 during onboarding)

Although it's possible to 配置 认证, we strongly recommend to stick with the default 认证 配置. If you had auth providers configured in a previous Home Assistant 发布, we recommend to remove the 配置 and start using the default.

It will take some time before all of the Home Assistant ecosystem has been migrated over to the new auth system. Home Assistant will print a 警告 whenever an application connects to Home Assistant with the legacy 认证. This will help 用户 通知 the application 开发者 to transition to use the new OAuth2 认证. For non-interactive 脚本 or other applications that are unable to 更新, we are planning to introduce a migration path for components to adopt url specific auth tokens and also introduce long lived access tokens to replace API passwords. A list of impacted components can be found here.

Our iOS app will soon be updated to work with the new auth. It's already in testing. The old app will continue to work with the legacy API 密码 support. It will however require a second login when using the webview.

If you are using a proxy server (NGINX etc) in front of Home Assistant to provide 认证, check this blogpost by @DubhAd how to make it work.

I want to say a biiiig thank you to all the people that have been involved in the development and testing of the new 认证 system. It's been a big project and it's been great to see how we, as a community, have rallied together to tackle it. Especially a big shout out to @awarecan who has done an amazing job on this.

Hangouts

And that's not it ! @hobbypunk90 has contributed a new 集成 for Google Hangouts. You can send messages but can also 配置 intents to handle incoming messages from specific people. Very cool!

Lovelace

You didn't think we would forget about Lovelace, did you? This 发布 include a new 通知 drawer thanks to @jeradM. It will collect all persistent 通知 and configurator 实体 and shows it in a new 侧边栏 toggleable from the toolbar.
