Why can't I select entities from New Automation menu?

I created light groups under Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers. These helpers show up as entities, not devices. When I go to create a new automation I can only select devices for triggers or actions. It would be super helpful if I could select my helper light entities from within automations.

Change your trigger to a state trigger. Change your condition to a state condition. Change your action to call-service.
