Not all lights with label Slapen are turned off

[pjannink]

The problem

I edited a script replacing appr 14 devices with a label 'Slapen'. Of course all devices involved are labeled with 'Slapen'. Strange enough, only 3 lights do turn off, all others remain on. Seems that using the label is not stable/reliable yet

2024.4.4

Can you publish your script here? And what protocol is each device using? It could be that Home Assistant is executing the command correctly, but that the device does not respond.

Here you are:

I disabled the original service light turn off with all Hue lights and Hue power switches.. I kept enabled the shorter light turn off service based on label slapen. See also screenprint:

Also tested with 2024.5, still not working via the labeling.

Before there were labels I switched off a mix of Zigbee and Philips Hue lights off (maybe 4-6). Many times some lights stayed on. It became more reliable if I paused after switching off several lights. It could be that all lights are switched off shortly after each other and that the Zigbee stack cannot cope with that many commands in a short time span?

As a workaround use label_devices(label_name_or_id) to get all devices with your label of choice.

Then in a loop turn one device off and then wait 1 second. Curious to see what happens

I tested with all devices on and the (disabled) service works fine, so no overload for Hue. Weird that the service using a label only turns off 2 or 3 lights. I wonder why using a label seems to have a different execution of the service than the (I assume) one by one processing of a list of devices. I think the HA team has to look at this or should advise not to use labels in Automations of Scripts.

OK Thanks for trying!
