It feels like I was just writing the release notes for 1.17 not long ago, so here’s to getting ESPHome going on a regular schedule.

Releases will be set for the 3rd Wednesday of each month, with a beta release starting 1 week earlier for those who would like to test that and help make sure it is stable.

Apart from a few new sensors, we now have built in support for External Components, check it out. Thanks @OttoWinter and @glmnet

Also now, an ESPHome device is able to connect to other BLE devices and become a BLE Client, reading sensors and controlling switches etc. You can read basic sensor values using the BLE Client Sensor component or use the data displayed in the logs to build a new native component that provides the sensors/switches/etc directly.
