Current State/History Node - Ability to get entity id from root flow / global state or template

[niemyjski]

I'd like to be able to just set flow.entity_id and have it be able to be read off the current state node or use a template inside of entity_id to control it. I can't do this today and it seems like it should work but it doesn't.

Same thing as I said in #176. I believe you're running an older version of this package.

I'm using version 0.10.2 with hassio. I did notice that this also applies to history node. I want to specify an entity_id via a template or even it in the payload.

I upgraded it the latest version and I don't see it in the docs but I'll try it.
