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:
- Scene: Converted to a platform based component (sander76)
- Scene: Hunter Douglas Powerview now supported (sander76)
- Lock: MQTT platform added (fabaff)
- Device Tracker: OwnTracks will allow filtering inaccurate GPS locations (HydrelioxGitHub)
- Binary Sensor: Wemo Motion now supported (pavoni, ryanlaux)

yaml
Example using templates for service and data in service call.
Works for automation, script, Alexa, universal media player, template switch.
automation:
- trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: switch.bathroom
action:
service_template: >
{% if is_state('switch.bathroom', 'on') %}
switch.turn_on
{% else %}
switch.turn_off
{% endif %}
data_template:
entity_id: switch.{{ states('input_select.is') }}


Breaking Changes
- Media Player: Attributes to call service play_media has been renamed to
`media_content_type` and `media_content_id`, to match the corresponding media
player state attributes. This change affects automations, scripts and scenes.
