asyncio is amazing. It has been way faster and more predictable. Home Assistant has a lot of small tasks running all the time with the occasional task taking a long time (ie. trying to reach a device which has been turned off). The number of tasks running simultaneously used to be limited by the size of the thread worker pool, which is no longer the case. A request taking a long time is now just a coroutine pending r…

this would be another great talk.. consider! :)

I submitted a talk proposal for PyCon 2016 about this but was not selected.

I'm a co-founder of Snips https://snips.ai , we are building a 100% on-device Voice AI platform which protects your privacy as it does not rely on sending voice on servers like Google and Apple do You can use the platform for free (we will also open-source over time), it can run on Raspberry 3 and we added an integration with the amazing Home Assistant: https://home-assistant.io/components/snips

Z Wave is supported but is zigbee? Zigbee hardware tend to be quite a bitcheaper and have has a wider range of devices.

Hass.io? In case you don't know, hass means hatred in German.

Interesting. It is also a not uncommon last name.

Isn't that usually Haas? I know 3 or 4 independent people with the last name Haas, as well as the Haas business school at berkely, but only know Hass as the avocado brand.

Founder of Home Assistant here. If anyone has any questions, let me know! Besides being able to install it as a Python package on Python 3, you can also install it using our Hass.io OS. Based on ResinOS and powered by Docker, it offers over the air updates and management of your device via the user interface: https://home-assistant.io/hassio/

David Hasselhoff will not be pleased to hear that - his surname loosely translates as "Court of Hatred"

How are you able to improve the training over time if you aren't centralizing the data anywhere?

Allow people to explicitly opt in to send training data to them, or otherwise generate their own training data through volunteers.

I really really wanted to set this up and have it working, but configuring devices and actions with it is so unnecessarily complicated that I ended up writing my own scripts to do whatever I wanted rather than writing templating code inside YAML config files (literally) to do certain things.

Haas is also the name of one of the biggest CNC machine companies. They also have race teams.

I apologize if this is silly question but how is the smartphone in the pic on the home page displaying that interface? The control section notes:

>"Control all your devices from a single, mobile-friendly, interface."

I had a cursory look through the github repo and everything just looked like python, nothing UI wise jumped out at me.

Can you recommend a far field microphone for use with your project?

Or really one as good as or better than those in the echo dot would be amazing, because that is what my baseline is right now.
