<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>
