0.60: Beckhoff/TwinCAT, WebDav, Gearbest, iAlarm

The biggest change for 0.60 will be covered in a separate blog post. Thus, we will keep it short here. Just one thing: This is the last release in 2017. We will be back to our bi-weekly release cycle in 2018.

A big “Thank you” to all people who supported us to make this release possible.

TwinCAT

With the brand-new ADS (automation device specification) component by @stlehmann allows you to hook Home Assistant into this fieldbus independent interface which is often used between Beckhoff devices running with TwinCAT.

WebDav calendar

Thanks to @maxlaverse Home Assistant support now WebDav calendars.

Tracking prices

With the new gearbest sensor there is now an additional sensor available to track the price of a product.

Financial details

Yahoo! has discontinued their financial service. To fill this gap we have now the alpha_vantage sensor which is intruded in this release and allows you to monitor the stock market.
