Using HA 2026.7.1 to turn on Certain Lights

Configuration
1

This is not critical, but just a curiosity.

I am creating a new automation in 2026.7.1 and using the new GUI interface by selecting the action "By Target". I select Living Room >> Turn on light". This works perfectly!

Ok, here is the problem. This action actually turns on 5 entities, and I only want it to turn on 4 entities. One of those is a nightlight that I do not need to turn on everytime. I see that I can click on the "Living Room" in the action and see the 5 entities. Is there a way to remove just one of those entities and leave the rest? Or is the only way to do this is to go into the Nightlight in HA and change its area?

A command executed on an area acts on all applicable entities in that area.

To command one or more entities, but not all, one would want to select an entity or a group of entities to turn on/off.

Add labels to the ones you want to do this action with and talk to the label.
