With this year’s improvements of areas, labels, and floors, the easy ability to exclude a device from a script or automation seems like an oversight.
For example, I have an automation to turn off all the lights on the main floor at 3 am in case anything got missed before going to bed. The exception is the bathroom ceiling light in case someone is using the washroom at that time. Presently I have every room (area) on the main floor of the house except the bathroom set in the light.turn_off section of the automation however a much more elegant solution would be if there was a way to set an exception. E.g. set the main floor as the area being shut off, with a separate section to exclude a specific entity, area, or device.
