+As of 0.29, the alarm_trigger service is supported.  It is possible to fire off an envisalink-based alarm directly from Home Assistant.  For example, a newer zwave/zigbee sensor can now be integrated into a legacy alarm system using a Home Assistant automation.

 - **evl_version** (*Optional*): 3 for evl3, or 4 for evl4. Default: `3`
 - **keepalive_interval** (*Optional*): This is a periodic heartbeat signal (measured in seconds) sent to your Envisalink board to keep it from restarting.  This is required for DSC and Honeywell systems. Defaults to `60` seconds.
 - **zonedump_interval** (*Optional*): This is an interval (measured in seconds) where the evl will dump out all zone statuses.  This is required for Honeywell systems, which do not properly send zone closure events.  DSC boards do not technically need this. Default: `30`
+- **panic_type** (*Optional*): Both DSC and Honeywell boards support a "panic" alarm. This is used when the alarm_trigger service is called in home assistant. This determines which type of panic alarm to raise.  Default = Police. Valid values are: Police, Fire, Ambulance
 - **zones** (*Optional*): Envisalink boards have no way to tell us which zones are actually in use, so each zone must be configured in Home Assistant.  For each zone, at least a name must be given. *Note: if no zones are specified, Home Assistant will not load any binary_sensor components.*
 - **partitions** (*Optional*): Again, Envisalink boards do not tell us what is in use and what is not, so each partition must be configured with a partition name. If no partition parameter is specified, then no alarm_panel or sensor components are loaded.

 The `mpd` platform allows you to control a [Music Player Daemon](http://www.musicpd.org/) from Home Assistant. Unfortunatly you will not be able to manipulate the playlist (add or delete songs) or add transitions between the songs. 
 
+Even though no playlist manipulation is possible, it is possible to use the play_media service to load an existing saved playlist as part of an automation or scene.
