* `homeassistant.toggle` - Turns off an entity that is on, or turns on an entity that is off (that supports being turned on and off)
* `homeassistant.update_entity` - Request the update of an entity, rather than waiting for the next scheduled update, for example [google travel time] sensor, a [template sensor], or a [light]

The Home Assistant integration provides generic implementations like the generic `homeassistant.turn_on`.
## Services
The `homeassistant` integration provides services for controlling Home Assistant itself, as well as generic controls for any entity.
### Service `homeassistant.check_config`
Reads the config files and checks them for correctness, but **does not** load them into Home Assistant. Creates a persistent notification and log entry if errors are found.
### Service `homeassistant.reload_core_config`
Loads the main config file (`configuration.yaml`) and all linked files. Once loaded the new configuration is applied.
### Service `homeassistant.restart`
Restarts the Home Assistant instance (also reloading the configuration on start).
### Service `homeassistant.stop`
Stops the Home Assistant instance. Home Assistant must be restarted from the Host device to run again.
### Service `homeassistant.set_location`
Update the location of the Home Assistant default zone (usually "Home").
