exclude entity via a label not working?

[Rolfgithub2]

          Hi,

Nice peace of software you have made!!

I want to use a label to exclude devices or entities. I have labeled the entity but this didn't work, so I labeled the device as well, but it just doesn't seem to work.

I checked the name in dev-tools I have excluded it in the config of the Bridge :

"exclude": [

  {
    "type": "label",
    "value": "nomatter"
  },

But whatever I try, it is still being exposed:

I can exclude it when I use a pattern instead of a label. But with a label I can simplify the config and manage the exclusions in HA.

Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong??

You need to add the label to the entity, not the device. Additionally you need to restart the addon after doing changes to entities (e.g. adding a label).

I need to add it to the docs.
