0.19: Empowering scripts and Alexa
Paulus SchoutsenThis 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:
message:
automation 2:
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: light.hue
action:
service: notify.notify
data:
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
