Release notes for March 22, 2015
A new version of Home Assistant has just been pushed out. It contains bugfixes contributed by jamespcole
Script
Andythigpen has contributed a script component. This allows users to create a sequence of service calls and delays. Scripts can be started using the service script/turn_on
and interrupted using the service script/turn_off
. A separate page has been added to the frontend to see the status of your scripts.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
script:
# Turns on the bedroom lights and then the living room lights 1 minute later
wakeup:
alias: "Wake Up"
sequence:
- alias: "Bedroom lights on"
execute_service: light.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: group.bedroom
- delay:
# supports seconds, milliseconds, minutes, hours, etc.
minutes: 1
- alias: "Living room lights on"
execute_service: light.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: group.living_room
Scene I (Paulus) have contributed a scene component. A user can create scenes that capture the states you want certain entities to be. For example a scene can contain that light A should be turned on and light B should be bright red. Deactivating a scene will restore the previous state from before the scene was activated. Just like scripts, scenes have their own separate page to see which scenes are on.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
scene:
- name: Romantic
entities:
light.tv_back_light: on
light.ceiling:
state: on
color: [0.33, 0.66]
brightness: 200
