Happy July, which means Home Assistant Core 2021.7! An interesting release, with a bunch of little goodies to make things easier in creating automations, scripts and doing templating. Those are things that in general, make me very happy. Mainly because, well, I use Home Assistant to automate 😁 Also, we are saying “hi!” 👋 to a new type of entity, which is really exciting and I can’t wait to see how that is being put the use in the future. Lastly, I want to give a shout-out to @klaasnicolaas ! He has been an intern with Nabu Casa for the last months. Besides doing the community highlights, he has been working on some awesome stuff that will land in upcoming Home Assistant releases. His internship is now over, and he passed with a nice grade. Yet, he could not leave without a little present as it seems. He contributed the Forecast.Solar integration, bringing in energy production forecasting for your solar panels. Really cool! Alright, that’s it! Enjoy the release! ../Frenck Ne...
