Hacktoberfest

The [Hacktoberfest](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/) is over now. Home Assistant made the 2nd and the 3rd place out of almost 30'000 participating repositories with a total of 528 pull requests closed - that's an average of 17 pull requests a day! Thanks to all the contributors but also to the team of reviewers. This wouldn't been possible without you 👏 .

Improved error reporting

This release has improved the reporting when a config validation error occurs. Thanks to [kellerza](https://github.com/kellerza) you will now get a persistent notification added to your UI when this happens.

Asynchronous

This release contains the first asynchronous sensor and camera platforms. [pvizeli](https://github.com/pvizeli) and [fabaff](https://github.com/fabaff) ported most of the "internal" sensors to async programming. We hope that you will enjoy the new speed.

[balloob](https://github.com/balloob) and [pvizeli](https://github.com/pvizeli) worked a lot on the improvement of the core itself.

Weather component

For a long time we have had a bunch of [weather sensors](https://home-assistant.io/components/#weather) but it's getting better: There is now a [Weather component](https://home-assistant.io/components/weather/). Sorry, not much more to tell right now. The plans are to create a weather UI element and to improve the initial implementation.

> Drive time with traffic is 35 minutes. There is an UberPOOL that will cost $11.52, estimated to be 2 minutes away, for a total of 37 minutes. BART is currently estimated to take 29 minutes. You should take BART, as it is estimated to be faster by 8 minutes.

Now I know how to best get to [my real job](https://runway.is) (no, Home Assistant is _not_ my real job, it does seem like it sometimes though) every morning. Obviously not the best home automation example, but I think you get the idea. I could see this being used to tell you any major events that happened in your home overnight or reading you your hyperlocal weather report. Thanks to the audio support you could even replace all of the default Alexa Flash Briefing sources with your own news feeds. Home Assistant supports both text and audio content as well as displaying data in the Alexa app. I also want to point out that unlike the existing Skill integration, the Flash Briefing API does _not_ require HTTPS (_but you should still be using HTTPS if possible_). For more information, check out the new [docs](https://home-assistant.io/components/alexa/).


Major breaking Z-Wave changes ahead

A rather nasty Z-Wave [issue](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/3759) was discovered recently by [lukas-hetzenecker](https://github.com/lukas-hetzenecker). There was a somewhat large chance that if you had multiple of the same model Z-Wave device they may both try to use the same entity IDs. To fix the issue the internal Z-Wave index is now appended to the end of all Z-Wave entity IDs.

What this means for all you Z-Wave users is that you will need to update your configurations to reflect the change. I personally have quite a few (17) Z-Wave devices and went through the process this week. Here's what I had to do:
- Update customizations
- Update groups
- Update my `zwave.customize` section
- Update my Alexa skills that used old entity IDs
- Because I use `emulated_hue` with Alexa and `emulated_hue` uses the entity ID as a unique identifier I also had to remove all Z-Wave devices from Alexa and re-add them.

Your todo list may be a little different from mine, I just wanted to outline the steps I took to give you an idea of what you need to think about. It's not a very hard process, especially when using global find and replace in Sublime Text but did take me about 20 minutes to complete.

This is super annoying, I know, especially since we had said in [0.12](/blog/2016/01/30/insteon-lifx-twitter-and-zigbee/backwards-incompatible-changes) that Z-Wave IDs should hopefully never change again, but we are now forced to eat those words. I will state again that Z-Wave IDs shouldn't change in the future but obviously we see how that went. To sum up on this section... sorry but it had to happen.

Thanks for reading all of the above, especially since this week was a pretty long post. We should be back with a new post around November 5th announcing the arrival of 0.32.
