### Calling services
Services can be called from the backend using the normal service call procedures. Registered Browsers can be selected as targets through their device:

# FAQ
### **Why doesn't ANYTHING that used to work with Browser Mod 1.0 work with Browser Mod 2.0?**
Browser Mod 2.0 has been rewritten ENTIRELY from the ground up. This allows it to be more stable and less resource intensive. At the same time I took the opportunity to rename a lot of things in ways that are more consistent with Home Assistant nomenclature.
In short, things are hopefully much easier now for new users of Browser Mod at the unfortunate cost of a one-time inconvenience for veteran expert users such as yourself.
### **Why does my Browser ID keep changing?**
There's just no way around this. I've used every trick in the book and invented a handful of new ones in order to save the Browser ID as far as possible. It should be much better in Browser Mod 2.0 than earlier, but it's still not perfect. At least it's easy to change it back now...
