Appdaemon

**Features**

- Swap from EventStream to Websockets (Requires Home Assistant 0.34 or
later). For earlier versions of HA, AppDaemon will fallback to
EventStream.
- Restored less verbose messages on HA restart, but verbose messages
can be enabled by setting `-D DEBUG` when starting AppDaemon
- From the command line ctrl-c now results in a clean shutdown.
- Home Assistant config e.g. Latitude, Longitude are now available in
Apps in the `self.ha_config` dictionary.
- Logging can now take placeholder strings for line number, function
and module which will be appropriately expanded in the actual
message
- Add example apps: battery, grandfather, sensor_notification, sound
- Updates to various example apps

**Fixes**

- get_app() will now return `None` if the app is not found rather than
throwing an exception.
