Quick Modifications

Add Office Light

# Get current config
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" \
  "http://10.10.10.210:8123/api/config/automation/config/welcome_home" > /tmp/welcome.json

# Edit /tmp/welcome.json and add to "actions" array:
# {
#   "target": {"entity_id": "light.office"},
#   "data": {"brightness_pct": 70},
#   "action": "light.turn_on"
# }

# Update automation
curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @/tmp/welcome.json \
  "http://10.10.10.210:8123/api/config/automation/config/welcome_home"

Change to Scene Instead

Replace all light actions with a single scene:

{
  "actions": [
    {
      "service": "scene.turn_on",
      "target": {
        "entity_id": "scene.living_room_relax"
      }
    }
  ]
}
