Until now, our automations and scripts have been very static. Starting today it should all be a bit more dynamic.

+ +

Scripts 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 from_state !). Passing data to script entities is available by passing the data to the script services.

+ +
+ 
automation:
+  trigger:
+    platform: mqtt
+    topic: some/notify/topic
+  action:
+    service: notify.notify
+    data_template:
+      message: 
+
+automation 2:
+  trigger:
+    platform: state
+    entity_id: light.hue
+  action:
+    service: notify.notify
+    data_template:
+      message:  is now 
+
+
+
+ +

Entity Namespaces allow you to influence the entity ids for a specific platform. For example you can turn light.living_room into light.holiday_home_living_room with the following config:

+ +
+ 
light:
+  platform: hue
+  entity_namespace: holiday_home
+
+
+
+ +

+ + + +

Deprecations

+
    +
  • Conditions in automations should now specify which condition to use with condition: instead of platform:. For example condition: state.
    • +
  • RFXtrx has a new config format.
    • +
+ +

Old RFXtrx config format:

+ 
  devices:
+    123efab1:
+      name: My DI.0 light device
+      packetid: 1b2200000890efab1213f60

A lot amazing things have changed and sadly we also had to introduce a bunch of backwards incompatible changes. I would like to give a big shoutout to Philip Lundrigan (@philipbl) who put a lot in effort in helping the migration to move towards using templates for a wide variety of platforms.

Templates

- -

This release introduces templates. This will allow you to parse data before it gets processed or create messages for notifications on the fly based on data within Home Assistant. The notification component and the new Alexa/Amazon Echo component are both using the new template functionality to render responses. A template editor has been added to the developer tool section in the app so you can get instant feedback if your templates are working or not.

- -
- 
The temperature at home is {{ states('sensor.temperature') }}.
-
-
-
- -

More information and examples can be found in the template documentation.

- -

Breaking changes

- -

Templates will now be the only way to extract data from ‘raw’ sources like REST, CommandSensor or MQTT. This will replace any specific option that used to do this before. This means that precision, factor, attribute or json_path etc will no longer work.

    0.19: Empowering scripts and Alexa

    + + + +
    + + Paulus Schoutsen + three minutes reading time + + + + + + Comments + +
    + +
    + + +

    This release is big. Until now, our automations and scripts have been very static. Starting today it should all be a bit more dynamic.

    + +

    Scripts 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 from_state !). Passing data to script entities is available by passing the data to the script services.

    + +
    + 
    automation:
+  trigger:
+    platform: mqtt
+    topic: some/notify/topic
+  action:
+    service: notify.notify
+    data_template:
+      message: 
+
+automation 2:
+  trigger:
+    platform: state
+    entity_id: light.hue
+  action:
+    service: notify.notify
+    data_template:
+      message:  is now 
+
    +
    +
    + +

    Entity Namespaces allow you to influence the entity ids for a specific platform. For example you can turn light.living_room into light.holiday_home_living_room with the following config:

    + +
    + 
    light:
+  platform: hue
+  entity_namespace: holiday_home
+
    +
    +
    + +

    + + + +

    Deprecations

    +
      +
    • Conditions in automations should now specify which condition to use with condition: instead of platform:. For example condition: state.
      • +
    • RFXtrx has a new config format.
      • +
    + +

    Old RFXtrx config format:

    + +
    + 
      devices:
+    123efab1:
+      name: My DI.0 light device
+      packetid: 1b2200000890efab1213f60
+
    +
    +
    + +

    New RFXtrx config format:

    + +
    + 
      devices:
+    1b2200000890efab1213f60:
+      name: My DI.0 light device

Until now, our automations and scripts have been very static. Starting today it should all be a bit more dynamic.

    Two weeks has past so here is 0.15! We have been focussing a lot on quality. Making sure the system is more stable and reliable. I usually try to highlight one cool thing in the release notes but this release has 4 exciting announcements!

    - -
      -
    • @fabaff has upgraded the codebase to follow the PEP257 documentation standard.
      • -
    • @partofthething has migrated us to use the main Python Open Z-Wave library instead of our forked version.
      • -
    • To make our automations more powerful, @persandstrom added the option to use templates to dynamically create service calls. This works for automation, Alexa, universal media player, template switch. Learn more.
      • -
    • @MartinHjelmare has upgraded our scene support to now support all built-in services and components.

    For this tutorial, I’ll walk through how to get going with ESP8266, get the temperature and humidity and report it to MQTT where Home Asssistant can pick it up.
