I’m new to Home Assistant, and I’m migrating my Philips Hue lights and dimmers to Zigbee2MQTT (about 14 ceiling lights and ~20 dimmers). I’m starting with one room to see how things behave.
Current setup:
- 2 lights and 1 dimmer are paired via Zigbee2MQTT.
I want to replicate the original Hue behavior: a short press turns on the lights in the dimmer’s area (e.g., “Lab”), and holding the Hue button turns off all lights in the home.
I’m using the Switch Manager component from HACS to configure the dimmer.
For the “On” button I set “Toggle light(s)” and selected the area. This works as expected.
For the Hue (hold) action I want “Turn off” for all lights that share a specific label. The label exists, and the lights have it, but Switch Manager doesn’t offer label selection in the UI.
I edited the YAML manually to target the label, and it works at runtime, but Switch Manager now marks the action as invalid.
Does Switch Manager support label-based targeting?
If yes, how should I configure this, so the action is also considered valid by Switch Manager?
If not, what’s the recommended approach to target lights by label and call that from the dimmer?
I attached a picture which shows the “Hue” Button which now works but is not seen as valid from switch manager.
Thanks in advance!
