It contains bugfixes contributed by [jamespcole](https://github.com/jamespcole), [andythigpen](https://github.com/andythigpen), [trainman419](https://github.com/trainman419) and [me](https://github.com/balloob). It also adds a bunch of great new features: + +__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. + +```yaml +# 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. + +```yaml +# Example configuration.yaml entry +scene: + - name: Romantic + entities: + light.tv_back_light: on + light.ceiling: + state: on + color: [0.33, 0.66] + brightness: 200 +``` + +__SABnzbd__
+ +James Cole has contributed support to integrate SABnzbd. This will allow you to monitor your downloads from within Home Assistant and setup automation based on the information. + +```yaml +# Example configuration.yaml entry +sensor: + - platform: sabnzbd + name: SAB + api_key: YOUR_API_KEY + # Example: http://192.168.1.32:8124/ + base_url: YOUR_SABNZBD_BASE_URL + monitored_variables: + - type: 'current_status' + - type: 'speed' + - type: 'queue_size' + - type: 'queue_remaining' + - type: 'disk_size' + - type: 'disk_free' +``` + +__PushOver__
+ +James Cole has also contributed support for the PushOver service as a platform for the notify component. This allows components to send messages to the user using PushOver. + +```yaml +# Example configuration.yaml entry +notify: + platform: pushover + # Get this by registering a new application on https://pushover.net + api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ + # Get this by logging into your account on https://pushover.net + user_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ +```
