Thanks for confirming.
I’m a little confused about the new audo feature, I see I have a device available in the supervisor hardware list:
'1':
name: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
type: PCH
devices:
- chan_id: '0'
chan_type: digital audio playback
How do I expose this to home assistant as a media player so I can connect some powered speakers to the audio jack and throw away my chromecast audio?
I’m sure there are some way of doing that now, the plan is to add that to the supervisor itself and later to the UI.
I’m guessing that would be a ‘ditto’ answer to my question.
Damn, you’ve been working hard. It’s nice to see things like Supervisor explained because it’s very important but not really that visible.
Please warn novice users about static ip though. It’s dangerous and for most people setting a static address in their router is a much safer option.
It’s already exposed to Home Assistant, but you need something to use it, from the top of my head I’m not aware of an integration that uses it, but I might be wrong here.
This?
EDIT: no that requires MPD to be installed somewhere.
You get a warning in the dialog where you can set it, and if you have not set one already it does not show any fields until you change it from “DHCP” to “static”.
Are you also going to support Debian derivates like the most used for HA is Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04.1?
The 20.04.1 is for getting a SSD to boot on a PI4.
That would be DHCP reservation, not a static address. Those are not the same thing.

No, the Home Assistant project is not supporting that. You can use it though, but it relies on community support.

Ah, okay, thanks. It read as if it was already possible.
Let’s not make this another thread about that, it’s been discussed in multiple treads already, and everything is covered in the ADR https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/blob/3a280053dbd12c80776ba271155a95c9ebb666b2/adr/0014-home-assistant-supervised.md
Let’s keep this thread about the post it self 
, and continue to enjoy the celebrations

Wow, this week is packed with awesome stuff 
I more tempted than ever to move from HA Container to HA Supervised…

Brilliant work everyone, thanks for all the efforts. Need to start digging into the system but I’m expecting there are events exposed to HA that can notify of issues encountered by SU or the watchdog?
Just can’t get over how sophisticated this system is becoming but still manages to be maintain a “yeah nothing to see here” facade!
Really great job!
I’m now really satisfied with myself that I decide to use a standalone hp elitedesk 800 just for all things HA. It is fast becoming the core of my whole system.
You can use the Spotify Connect add-on to turn your Home Assistant into a Spotify playing target.
It’s available in the Community add-on store.

There are no events but for now, you can do it like this:
sensor observer:
- platform: scrape
name: Supervisor observer
resource: http://homeassistant.local:4357
select: ".description"
This works now, but I can’t say for how long since it uses scraping and the layout of the website can will change in the future.

i like the watchdog, but in my opinion its a workaround, a add-on shouldt crash
its like the deconz add-on, its reporting crashes around the same timestamp for several users , shouldnt happen

Are you willing to please elaborate on that? I am just about to switch from wifi to wired so I am super pumped about the network manager but will be considering the ip situation soon. I’ve gathered that al dhcp reservation is easier, but when would one need a static ip instead?
Nobody is going to disagree with that 
In a perfect world, every piece of software out there would never get issues, but until we get there we have to do what we can
