When an automation rule fires, it calls a service. For this service you can specify the entity_id that it should apply to and optional service parameters (to specify for example the brightness).
```yaml
automation:
# Change the light in the kitchen and living room to 150 brightness and color red.
action:
service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id:
- light.kitchen
- light.living_room
data:
brightness: 150
rgb_color: [255, 0, 0]
```
```yaml
automation:
# Notify me on my mobile phone of an event
action:
service: notify.notify
data:
message: Something just happened, better take a look!
```
If you want to specify multiple services to be called, or to include a delay, have a look at the [script component](/components/script/). If you want to describe the desired state of certain entities, check out the [scene component](/components/scene/).
