__Scene__<br>
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.

Wow, almost a month has gone by since the last release and this release is *packed*. The biggest part of this release is probably one that you won't notice: the frontend has been upgraded from Polymer 0.5 to the brand new released Polymer 1.0. Polymer has been declared stable by the Google overlords which will allow us to expand functionality that was waiting for this moment to arrive.
This release sets a record for the amount of people involved: 8! [Andythigpen](https://github.com/Andythigpen), [Jamespcole](https://github.com/Jamespcole), [Azelphur](https://github.com/Azelphur), [Fabaff](https://github.com/Fabaff), [Dutchy-](https://github.com/Dutchy-), [Fbradyirl](https://github.com/Fbradyirl), [wind-rider](https://github.com/wind-rider) and [ettisan](https://github.com/ettisan), thanks a lot for your contributions!
A big improvement has been brought this release by wind-rider. He took the time to revive the Chromecast support and started improving the media player integration. This triggered other people to join in resulting in a revamped media player experience and support for the Music Player Daemon.

The swiss public transport sensor will give you the next two departure times from a given location to another one in Switzerland. See the [component page](/components/sensor.swiss_public_transport.html) for more information how to set it up.
__Transmission turtle mode switch__<br>
<img src='/images/supported_brands/transmission.png' style='border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;' height='50' />
The transmission platform allows you to control your [Transmission](http://www.transmissionbt.com/) client from within Home Assistant. The platform enables you switch to your 'Alternative Speed Limits' (aka 'Turtle mode') setting.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
platform: transmission
name: Transmission
host: 192.168.1.26
port: 9091
