Each component in Home Assistant can offer services. A service can be used to control one of the entities of that component or it can be used to call an external script or service. A service is identified by a domain, which is equal to the component offering the service, and a name. Each service can take optional service data object to indicate what to control. An example of a service is light.turn_on with service data {"entity_id": "light.kitchen"}.
Available services are not stored in their own table in the database. The available services can be discovered by looking for the service_registered events.
