Assign labels to schedules #400

Open jlaffaye opened 1 day ago

Proposal

I wish to be able to assign labels to schedules. The end goal being that the switch entity for this schedule will also have this label. I will then be able to switch on/off a group of schedules based on labels.

Example use case: my energy provider has "peak events" that are not predictable and thus can not be handle in one schedule. I have two schedules: one for "standard" mode and one for "peak" mode (almost always off). I want to setup an automation to turn off all "standard" schedules when a peak event starts, and turn on all "peak" schedules. At the end of the peak event, do the opposite.

It seems it is already possible to assign Tags in the Entity panel image

However, trying to switch on/off the Schedules with the "generic_turn_on"/off or the "switch turn on/off" actions doesn't do anything when targeting the Tag (while it works for "normal" switches having the same tag; and it work if the action targets directly the entity).

When the tag is expanded, the scheduler aren't listed : image image
