Home Assistant comes with built-in sentences contributed by the community for dozens of languages. These sentences allow you to:

• Turn entities on and off
  • "turn on the living room light"
  • "turn off ceiling fan"
• Open and close covers
  • "Close the garage door"
  • "Open kitchen window"
• Set the brightness and color of lights
  • "Change kitchen lights brightness to 50%"
  • "Set bed light to green"

In addition to individual entities, commands can target areas:

• "turn on all lights in the living room"
• "open windows in the kitchen"
• "change kitchen brightness to 50%"
• "set bedroom lights to green"

Entity aliases are also matched so multiple names can be used, even in different languages.

You can extend the built-in sentences or add your own to trigger any action in Home Assistant.
