I noticed something interesting while setting up my scenes in Home Assistant. While we can filter entities in automations and scripts, there’s no filtering capability in the Scenes UI.
Current situation
When adding entities to a scene, we have to:
- Manually select each entity
- Scroll through potentially long lists
- Can’t filter by state (on/off/light/switch)
- No search or filtering options
Proposed feature
It would be great to have filtering options like:
- Filter by state (on/off)
- Filter by entity type (light/switch)
- Filter by area/room
- Search/filter by name
Use cases
- Creating scenes for specific types of devices (all lights, all switches)
- Quick selection of entities in a particular state
- Easier management of scenes with many entities
- Time-saving for complex scene setup
What do you think? Would this be useful for your Home Assistant setup too?
