|

|
||||
Actions are used in several places in Home Assistant. As part of a script or automation, actions define what is going to happen once a trigger is activated. In scripts, an action is called *sequence*.
|
||||
|
||||
Actions use service calls and/or scenes to interact with entities and cause these entities to do something. Actions can also include conditions and a delay. An action can call multiple services at the same time. For example, if your presence is detected in a room, an action may call one service to turn on a light and call another service to start playing music after a delay.
|
||||
|
||||
Actions are also used on the dashboard, for example as tap or hold action on a UI element. When triggered, the action calls a service.
