Two weeks has past so here is 0.15! We have been focussing a lot on quality. Making sure the system is more stable and reliable. I usually try to highlight one cool thing in the release notes but this release has 4 exciting announcements!
- [@fabaff] has upgraded the codebase to follow the PEP257 documentation standard.
- [@partofthething] has migrated us to use the main Python Open Z-Wave library instead of our forked version.
- To make our automations more powerful, [@persandstrom] added the option to use templates to dynamically create service calls. This works for automation, script, Alexa, universal media player, template switch.
- [@MartinHjelmare] has upgraded our scene support to now support all built-in services and components.
Besides bug fixes, this release also brings:
