    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>The focus of 0.13 was on test coverage, big cheers to <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus/">@rmkraus</a> for his hard work on this. I’m proud to announce that we’ve hit the 90% test coverage of the core + important components. A big milestone for the project.</p>

</p>

<p>Not only did we gain a lot of test coverage, we also attracted a lot of new developers that contributed a variety of components and platforms:</p>

<h3>Templates</h3>

<p>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.</p>

<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
  <div class="code"><pre>The temperature at home is {{ states('sensor.temperature') }}.
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>

<p>More information and examples can be found in the <a href="/getting-started/templating/">template documentation</a>.</p>

<h3>Breaking changes</h3>

<p>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 <code>precision</code>, <code>factor</code>, <code>attribute</code> or <code>json_path</code> etc will no longer work.</p>

<p>Affected components and platforms:</p>

<ul>
  <li>sensor: <a href="/components/sensor.arest/">arest</a></li>
  <li>sensor: <a href="/components/sensor.command_sensor/">command_sensor</a></li>
