 The `mqtt` alarm panel platform enables the possibility to control MQTT capable alarm panels. The Alarm icon will change state after receiving a new state from `state_topic`. If these messages are published with *RETAIN* flag, the MQTT alarm panel will receive an instant state update after subscription and will start with the correct state. Otherwise, the initial state will be `unknown`.

 The `nx584` platform provides integration with GE, Caddx, Interlogix (and other brands) alarm panels that support the NX584 interface module (or have it built in). Supported panels include NX4/6/8/8E. Actual integration is done through [pynx584](http://github.com/kk7ds/pynx584) which is required for this to work.

+The `rpi_rf` switch platform allows you to control devices over 433/315MHz LPD/SRD signals with generic low-cost GPIO RF modules on a [Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/).
+
+To use your Raspberry Pi with a 433MHz adaptor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+switch:
+  platform: rpi_rf
+  gpio: 17
+  switches:
+    bedroom_light:
+      code_on: 1234567
+      code_off: 1234568
+    ambilight:
+      pulselength: 200
+      code_on: 987654
+      code_off: 133742
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **gpio** array (*Required*): Array of used ports.
+- **switches:** (*Required*): Array of switches.
+  - **[name]** (*Requireld*): If true, inverts the output logic to ACTIVE LOW. Default is false (ACTIVE HIGH).
+    - **code_on** (*Requireld*): Code to switch the device on, eg. `987654`.
+    - **code_off** (*Requireld*):  Code to switch the device off, eg. `133742`.
+    - **pulselength** (*Optional*):  Length of the pulse

+
+This 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.
+
+```yaml
+automation:
+  trigger:
+    platform: mqtt
+    topic: some/notify/topic
+  action:
+    service: notify.notify
+    data_template:
+      message: {{ trigger.payload }}
+
+automation 2:
+  trigger:
+    platform: state
+    entity_id: light.hue
+  action:
+    service: notify.notify
+    data_template:
+      message: {{ trigger.to_state.name }} is now {{ trigger.to_state.state }}
+```
+
+**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:
+
+```yaml
+light:
+  platform: hue
+  entity_namespace: holiday_home
+```

+ - Conditions in automations should now specify which condition to use with `condition:` instead of `platform:`. For example `condition: state`.
+ - RFXtrx has a new config format.
+

+
+```yaml
+  devices:
+    123efab1:
+      name: My DI.0 light device
+      packetid: 1b2200000890efab1213f60

+Any component that is based on the entity component allows various extra options to be set per platform.
+
+### {% linkable_title Entity namespace %}
+
+By setting an entity namespace, all entities will be prefixed with that namespace. That way `light.bathroom` can become `light.holiday_house_bathroom`.
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+light:
+  platform: hue
+  entity_namespace: holiday_house
+```
+
+### {% linkable_title Scan Interval %}
+
 Platforms that require polling will be polled in an interval specified by the main component. For example a light will check every 30 seconds for a changed state. It is possible to overwrite this scan interval for any platform that is being polled by specifying a `scan_interval` config key. In the example below we setup the Philips Hue lights but tell Home Assistant to poll the devices every 10 seconds instead of the default 30 seconds.

 Conditions are an optional part of an automation rule and be used to prevent an action from happening when triggered. Conditions look very similar to triggers but are very different. A trigger will look at events happening in the system while a condition only looks at how the system looks right now. A trigger can observe that a switch is being turned on. A condition can only see if a switch is currently on or off.
 
-An automation rule can have multiple conditions. By default the action will only fire if all conditions pass. An optional key `condition_type: 'or'` can be set on the automation rule to fire action if any condition matches.  In the example below, the automation would trigger if the time is before 05:00 _OR_ after 20:00.

-This type of condition attempts to parse the state of specified entity as a number and triggers if the value matches all of the above or below thresholds.
-Either `above` or `below`, or both need to be specified. If both are used, the condition is true when the value is >= `before` *and** < `after`.
-You can optionally use a `value_template` to make the value of the entity the same type of value as the condition.

-The sun condition can test if the sun has already set or risen when a trigger occurs. The `before` and `after` keys can only be set to `sunset` or `sunrise`. They have a corresponding optional offset value (`before_offset`, `after_offset`) that can be added, similar to the [sun trigger](#sun-trigger).

+In Home Assistant 0.19 we introduced a new powerful feature: variables in scripts and automations. This makes it possible to adjust your condition and action based on the information of the trigger.
+
+The trigger data made is available during template rendering as the `trigger` variable.
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entries
+automation:
+  trigger:
+    platform: state
+    entity_id: device_tracker.paulus
+  action:
+    service: notify.notify
+    data_template:
+      message: >{% raw %}
+        Paulus just changed from {{ trigger.from_state.state }}
+        to {{ trigger.to_state.state }}{% endraw %}
+
+automation 2:
+  trigger:
+    platform: mqtt
+    topic: /notify/+
+  action:
+    service_template: >{% raw %}
+      notify.{{ trigger.topic.split('/')[-1] }}
+    data_template:

 When all your devices are set up it's time to put the cherry on the pie: automation. Home Assistant offers [a few built-in automations](/components/#automation) but mainly you'll be using the automation component to set up your own rules.
 
+Home Assistant offers a wide range of automations. In the next few pages we'll try to guide you through all the different possibilities and options. Besides this documentation there are also a couple of people who have made their automation configurations [publicly available][cookbook-config].
+
+[cookbook-config]: /cookbook/#example-configurationyaml
+
 ### {% linkable_title The basics of automation %}
 
-Every automation rule consists of triggers, an action to be performed and optional conditions.
+Before you can go ahead and create your own automations, it's important to learn the basics. To explore the basics, let's have a look at the following example home automation rule:
 
-Triggers can be anything observed in Home Assistant. For example, it can be a certain point in time or a person coming home, which can be observed by the state changing from `not_home` to `home`.
+```text
+(trigger)    When Paulus arrives home
+(condition)  and it is after sunset:
+(action)     Turn the lights in the living room on
+```
 
-Actions will call services within Home Assistant. For example, turn a light on, set the temperature on your thermostat or activate a scene.
+The example consists of three different parts: a trigger, a condition and an action.
 
-Conditions are used to prevent actions from firing unless certain conditions are met. For example, it is possible to only turn on the light if someone comes home and it is after a certain point in time.
+The first line is the trigger of the automation rule. Triggers describe events that should trigger the automation rule. In this case it is a person arriving home, which can be observed in Home Assistant by observing the state of Paulus changing from 'not_home' to 'home'.
 
-The difference between a condition and a trigger can be confusing. The difference is that the trigger looks at the event that is happening, e.g., a car engine turning on. Conditions looks at the current state of the system, e.g., is the car engine on.
+The second line is the condition part of the automation rule. Conditions are optional tests that can limit an automation rule to only work in your specific use cases. A condition will test against the current state of the system. This includes the current time, devices, people and other things like the sun. In this case we only want to act when the sun has set.
+
+The third part is the action which will be performed when a rule is triggered and all conditions are met.For example, it can turn a light on, set the temperature on your thermostat or activate a scene.
+
+<p class='note'>
+The difference between a condition and a trigger can be confusing as they are very similar. Triggers are  looking at the actions while conditions look at the result: turning a light on vs a light being on.

+Conditions can be used within a script or automation to prevent further execution. A condition will look at the system right now. For example a condition can test if a switch is currently turned on or off.
+
+#### {% linkable_title AND condition %}
+
+Test multiple conditions in 1 condition statement. Passes if all embedded conditions are valid.
+
+```yaml
+condition: and
+conditions:
+  - condition: state
+    entity_id: 'device_tracker.paulus'
+    state: 'home'
+  - condition: numeric_state
+    entity_id: 'sensor.temperature'
+    below: '20'
+```
+
+#### {% linkable_title Numeric state condition %}
+
+This type of condition attempts to parse the state of specified entity as a number and triggers if the value matches all of the above or below thresholds.
+
+For above, the condition passes if `value >= above`. For below, the condition passes if `value <= below`. If both `below` and `above` are specified, both tests have to pass.
+
+You can optionally use a `value_template` to process the value of the state before testing it.
+
+```yaml
+condition: numeric_state
+entity_id: sensor.temperature
+above: 17
+below: 25
+# If your sensor value needs to be adjusted
+value_template: {{ float(state.state) + 2 }}
+```
+
+#### {% linkable_title OR condition %}
+
+Test multiple conditions in 1 condition statement. Passes if any embedded conditions is valid.
+
+```yaml
+condition: or
+conditions:
+  - condition: state
+    entity_id: 'device_tracker.paulus'
+    state: 'home'
+  - condition: numeric_state
+    entity_id: 'sensor.temperature'
+    below: '20'
+```
+
+#### {% linkable_title State condition %}
+
+Tests if an entity is a specified state.
+
+```yaml
+condition: state
+entity_id: device_tracker.paulus
+state: not_home
+# optional: trigger only if state was this for last X time.
+for:
+  hours: 1
+  minutes: 10
+  seconds: 5
+```
+
+#### {% linkable_title Sun condition %}
+
+The sun condition can test if the sun has already set or risen when a trigger occurs. The `before` and `after` keys can only be set to `sunset` or `sunrise`. They have a corresponding optional offset value (`before_offset`, `after_offset`) that can be added, similar to the [sun trigger](#sun-trigger).
+
+```yaml
+condition: sun
+after: sunset
+# Optional offset value
+after_offset: "-1:00:00"
+```
+
+#### {% linkable_title Template condition %}
+
+The template condition will test if the [given template][template] renders a value equal to true. This is achieved by having the template result in a true boolean expression or by having the template render 'true'.
+
+```yaml
+condition: template
+value_template: '{% raw %}{{ state.attributes.battery > 50 }}{% endraw %}'
+```
+
+Within an automation, template conditions also have access to the `trigger` variable as [described here][automation-templating].
+
+[automation-templating]: /getting-started/automation-templating/
+
+#### {% linkable_title Time condition %}
+
+The time condition can test if it is after a specified time, before a specified time or if it is a certain day of the week
+
+```yaml
+condition: time
+# At least one of the following is required.
+after: '15:00:00'
+before: '23:00:00'
+weekday:
+  - mon
+  - wed
+  - fri
+```
+
+Valid values for `weekday` are `mon`, `tue`, `wed`, `thu`, `fri`, `sat`, `sun`.
+
+#### {% linkable_title Zone condition %}
+
+Zone conditions test if an entity is in a certain zone. For zone automation to work, you need to have setup a device tracker platform that supports reporting GPS coordinates. Currently this is limited to the [OwnTracks platform](/components/device_tracker.owntracks/) and the [iCloud platform](/components/device_tracker.icloud/).
+
+```yaml
+condition: zone
+entity_id: device_tracker.paulus

+Scripts are a sequence of actions that Home Assistant will execute. Scripts are available as an entity through the standalone [Script component] but can also be embedded in [automations] and [Alexa/Amazon Echo] configurations.
+
+The script syntax basic structure is a list of key/value maps that contain actions. If a script contains only 1 action, the wrapping list can be omitted.
+
+```yaml
+# Example script component containing script syntax
+script:
+  example_script:
+    sequence:
+      # This is written using the Script Syntax
+      - service: light.turn_on
+        entity_id: light.ceiling

+        data:
+          message: 'Turned on the ceiling light!'
+```
+
+#### {% linkable_title Call a Service %}
+
+The most important one is the action to call a service. This can be done in various ways. For all the different possibilities, have a look at the [service calls page].
+
+```yaml
+alias: Bedroom lights on
+service: light.turn_on
+data:
+  entity_id: group.bedroom
+  brightness: 100
+```
+
+#### {% linkable_title Test a Condition %}
+
+While executing a script you can add a condition to stop further execution. When a condition does not return `true`, the script will finish. There are many different conditions which are documented at the [conditions page].
+
+```yaml
+condition: state
+entity_id: device_tracker.paulus
+state: 'home'
+```
+
+#### {% linkable_title Delay %}
+
+Delays are useful for temporarily suspending your script and start it at a later moment. We support  different syntaxes for a delay as shown below.
+
+```yaml
+# Waits 1 hour
+delay: 01:00
+```
+
+```yaml
+# Waits 1 minute, 30 seconds
+delay: 00:01:30
+```
+
+```yaml
+# Waits 1 minute
+delay:
+  # supports seconds, minutes, hours, days
+  minutes: 1
+```
+
+#### {% linkable_title Fire an Event %}
+
+This action allows you to fire an event. Events can be used for many things. It could trigger an automation or indicate to another component that something is happening. For instance, in the below example it is used to create an entry in the logbook.
+
+```yaml
+event: LOGBOOK_ENTRY
