+Defining the schedule in YAML also allows adding extra data to each block, which will
+appear as attributes on the schedule helper entity when that block is active. This can
+be used to easily build schedule-based automations.
+
+The `data` key of each block should be a mapping of attribute names to values. In this example,
+the schedule helper entity will have "Brightness" and "Color temp" attributes when
+the blocks are active:
+
+```yaml
