<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>from_state</code> !). Passing data to script entities is available by passing the data to the script services.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre><span class="key">automation</span>:
<span class="key">trigger</span>:
<span class="key">platform</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">mqtt</span></span>
<span class="key">topic</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">some/notify/topic</span></span>
<span class="key">action</span>:
<span class="key">service</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">notify.notify</span></span>
<span class="key">data_template</span>:
<span class="key">message</span>:
<span class="key">automation 2</span>:
<span class="key">trigger</span>:
<span class="key">platform</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">state</span></span>
<span class="key">entity_id</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">light.hue</span></span>

<span class="key">message</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">is now </span></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Entity Namespaces</strong> allow you to influence the entity ids for a specific platform. For example you can turn <code>light.living_room</code> into <code>light.holiday_home_living_room</code> with the following config:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre><span class="key">light</span>:
<span class="key">platform</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">hue</span></span>
<span class="key">entity_namespace</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">holiday_home</span></span>

<content type="html"><![CDATA[<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>from_state</code> !). Passing data to script entities is available by passing the data to the script services.</p>

<div class="code"><pre><span class="key">automation</span>:

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

<p>I recently learned about the ESP8266, a $5 chip that includes WiFi and is Arduino compatible. This means that all your DIY projects can now be done for a fraction of the price.</p>
<p>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.</p>

Home Assistant will keep track of historical values and allow you to integrate it into automation.

<p>It’s time for the August release and there is some serious good stuff this time. The core of Home Assistant has gone some serious clean up and a bump in test coverage thanks to <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>.

<p><strong>MQTT Support</strong><br />
<img src="/images/supported_brands/mqtt.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> The big new addition in this release is the support for the MQTT protocol by <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> with some help from <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>. It will now be possible to integrate any IoT device that talks via MQTT. For the initial release we support connecting Home Assistant to a broker (no TLS yet). Components can now subscribe and publish to MQTT topics (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/config/custom_components/mqtt_example.py">see the example</a>) and also support for the automation component <a href="/getting-started/automation-trigger/#mqtt-trigger">has been added</a>.
