Expose area so you can just say "Turn off the family room lights" etc

[NonaSuomy]

Hello,

How do you expose an area?

So you can say something like "turn off the family room lights" then it proceeds to switch off anything in the family room area that has "light." etc? (also by not renaming all the devices to a friendly name of family room etc)

This works fine with the Home Assistant default agent:

Thank you.

Right now I don't have support for areas because it is another attribute that needs to be exposed to the model. I do plan on adding it eventually but currently you should be able to create a group integration that contains all the entities that you want in the area. Then you set the name of the group to the name of the area (e.g. light.family_room_lights) which should let you control all the devices together.

Thanks for the work around! Will give that a go! Please let us know if you train it into the model as well.
-EDIT-


It works! Yay!
