<p>This release is big. Until now, our automations and scripts have been very static. Starting today it should all be a bit more dynamic.</p>
<p><strong>Scripts</strong> are now available in automations and when responding to Alexa/Amazon Echo. Both of these components will now expose data to be used in script templates (including <code class="highlighter-rouge">from_state</code> !). Passing data to script entities is available by passing the data to the script services.</p>

<p><strong>Entity Namespaces</strong> allow you to influence the entity ids for a specific platform. For example you can turn <code class="highlighter-rouge">light.living_room</code> into <code class="highlighter-rouge">light.holiday_home_living_room</code> with the following config:</p>
