ESPHome 2021.9.0 - 15th September 2021 ====================================== .. seo:: :description: Changelog for ESPHome 2021.9.0. :image: /_static/changelog-2021.9.0.png :author: ESPHome :author_twitter: @esphome_ .. imgtable:: :columns: 3 AirThings BLE, components/sensor/airthings_ble, airthings_logo.png H-bridge Fan, components/fan/hbridge, fan.svg ST7920, components/display/st7920, st7920.jpg `Home Assistant Amber `__ ---------------------------------------------------------- You get the most out of your ESPHome devices when you combine it with Home Assistant, which offers a seamless and local integration to control and manage all your ESPHome devices. Today Home Assistant launched a crowdfunding campaign for the `Home Assistant Amber `__, the easiest way to get started with Home Assistant and a privacy focused smart home. API Encryption -------------- :ghuser:`OttoWinter` has been hard at work adding a layer of encryption to the API which utilises the ``noise`` protocol. This releases adds the capabilities to ESPHome devices, but Home Assistant (or other clients) will need to upgrade their client libraries (e.g. ``aioesphomeapi``) before they can connect and communicate to devices with encryption. This is scheduled to be available in Home Assistant 2021.10. Git Packages ------------ :ref:`Packages` have been extended to allow loading (multiple) YAML file(s) from a git repo. Take a look at the examples to see how to use them. Midea AC -------- ``platform: midea_ac`` has been changed to ``platform: midea`` in this release and has quite a few upgrades. Check the docs for the new features. :doc:`/components/climate/midea` SDM Meters ---------- :doc:`SDM Meters` have been fixed to use kWh instead of Wh as the energy unit of measurement. Template Select/Number/Switch ----------------------------- The template selects, numbers and switches now have more validations on them preventing weird usage. If you do not set a ``lambda`` then you are required to make them either ``optimistic: true``, or utilise the ``set_action`` (select/number) / ``turn_on_trigger`` (switch).
