Hi Guys,
I’m trying to create a scene for when I leave the house.
I want to turn off all my switches except the front porch.
I’d rather not enter each item 1 at a time, because I’ll forever need to continuously update this scene everytime I add a new switch to my HA.
is it possible to do “group.all_switches” with 1 exception (switch.frontporch)?
Thanks!
While driving home, I thought of a solution.
a script.
turnoff all switches,
then turn front porch back on.

Another options is to create a new group that includes only the switches you want to turn off, then use that for your action (service: homeassistant.turn_on entity_id: group.all_but_frontporch)
but then I’m always going to need to edit this new group with new switches right? if I add new ones.
so I created a very simple scene, but it doesn’t work. and I’d like to know why.
scene:
- name: Leaving Home
entities:
group.all_lights: off
group.all_switches: off
switch.front_porch: on
