Is there a way to combine switches and lights into one group using helpers in UI?

1

I have some groups configured manually in the configuration.yaml file, but want to move them over into the UI as a helper. The problem is many of my groups have a mix of switches and lights. Those groups work when configured manually, but the helpers in the UI will not allow me to mix switches and lights. Is there a way to do this in the UI?

There’s a type of helper that can ‘turn a switch into a light’:

Edit: I was too slow :roll_eyes:

In the switch entities configuration there’s a ‘Show as’ option and you can select light, this creates a light.your_entity entity.
