-    Services are called to perform actions.
+    The term service has 2 meanings in Home Assistant:
+
+    **The information service**
+    E.g. the municipal waste management service that provides entities for organic, paper, and packaging waste. In terms of functionality, the information service is like a device. It is called *service* to avoid confusion, as it does not come with a piece of hardware.
+
+    **The software function that interacts with targets to make something happen**
+    A service carries out one specific task: e.g. turning on the light in the living room or sending a notification to a mobile phone. 
+
+    A service has targets and data. Service targets are: areas, devices, and entities. Service data carries the information required to define the desired state change in the target. E.g. the target, together with brightness 150 and RGB color `[255,0,0]`, or the message “Your coffee is ready”. 
+
+    Services can be used in, for example, automation, scripts, dashboards, or voice commands to control your home.
+
+    Home Assistant provides a series of predefined services, such as `homeassistant.turn_on`, `homeassistant.toggle`, or `homeassistant.reload`.
