v10.2.1
v10.2.0
10.2.0 (2024-09-12)
This release contains a number of performance and stability fixes along with two new major features:
-
You can now configure MQTT settings on the command-line 🎉 The README has been updated with details, but TL;DR, you can run:
go-hass-agent config --mqtt-server=tcp://localhost:1883 --mqtt-user=some-user --mqtt-password=superseret
-
The container has been rebased on top of Alpine Linux. This makes it much smaller, and it can now be built for armv6 🎉 The invocation has changed slightly, so please read the documentation if you are a container user and take note of the changes before upgrading.
Thank you to all the users who have submitted feature requests and bug reports! Please keep them coming!

v10.1.1
v10.1.0
10.1.0 (2024-08-27)
This release is packed with some (hopefully) performance improvements and a few new sensors. Most notably:
- memory, cpu and disk usage sensors are now fetched directly from the kernel.
- more disk partitions should have usage stats now, like network mounts.
- cpu usage (%) sensors are available for each core on the system as well as the overall usage.
- there are now sensors for total processes created and context switches.
- there are now sensors for current running/blocked processes.
- there is a sensor for the amount of memory detected as corrupted by the kernel. If this sensor value is greater than zero, you are probably going to have a bad time...YMMV
Enjoy!
Features
- linux: ♻️ rework memory usage sensors (0930a5c)
- linux: ✨ add support for alternative system partition mounts in cpu sensors (55e6c78)

v10.0.0
10.0.0 (2024-08-17)
Important
Before upgrading, please ensure you read the breaking changes document as there are some changes that require manual steps to be performed for Go Hass Agent to continue working smoothly.
The Good
- This release contains a significant number of fixes and a shout-out to everyone who reported issues!
- There are new sensors and controls:
- CPU frequency sensors for each CPU.
- Status of MPRIS compatible players
- Connected webcam viewing (with MQTT enabled)
- Significant under the hood changes to make the code more flexible for future improvements.
The Bad
- This is a major release and introduces some breaking changes:
- The preferences file format and location has changed and an upgrade command has been added to help migrate the old preferences file/location.
- The MQTT device has changed to make it more unique, but may break automations and dashboards relying on the controls/sensors it provides.
Be sure to read the breaking changes doc linked above for manual steps that are required to ensure the agent continues to run smoothly after upgrading.
The Ugly
Nothing is ugly! Everything is beautiful!
Summary Changelog
⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
- agent: the device representing Go Hass Agent in Home Assistant has been renamed from the generic "Go Hass Agent" to the hostname of the device running Go Hass Agent.
- prefs: The default app id has changed, which changes the path to the agent configuration. As such, the agent will need to be re-registered with Home Assistant.
- major internal update
- MQTT preferences have been renamed in the config file. They now sit under their own heading. Existing MQTT preferences are not migrated to the new settings.
