Service Calls
</h1>
</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>Various components allow calling services when a certain event occurs. The most common one is calling a service when an automation trigger happens. But a service can also be called from a script or via the Amazon Echo.</p>
<p>The configuration options to call a config are the same between all components and are described on this page.</p>
<p>Examples on this page will be given as part of an automation component configuration but different approaches can be used for other components too.</p>
<p class="note">
Use the <img src="/images/screenshots/developer-tool-services-icon.png" class="no-shadow" height="38" /> service developer tool in the frontend to discover available services.
</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="the-basics" href="#the-basics"></a> The basics</h3>
<p>Call the service <code>homeassistant.turn_on</code> on the entity <code>group.living_room</code>. This will turn all members of <code>group.living_room</code> on. You can also omit <code>entity_id</code> and it will turn on all possible entities.</p>

<p>You can also specify other parameters beside the entity to target. For example, the light turn on service allows specifying the brightness.</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="using-the-services-developer-tool" href="#using-the-services-developer-tool"></a> Using the Services Developer Tool</h3>
<p>You can use the Services Developer Tool to test data to pass in a service call.<br />
For example, you may test turning on or off a group (See [groups] for more info)</p>
<p>To turn a group on or off, pass the following info:<br />
Domain: <code>homeassistant</code><br />
Service: <code>turn_on</code><br />
Service Data: <code>{ "entity_id": "group.kitchen" }</code></p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="use-templates-to-determine-the-attributes" href="#use-templates-to-determine-the-attributes"></a> Use templates to determine the attributes</h3>
<p>Templates can also be used for the data that you pass to the service call.</p>
