Assign labels to schedules

[jlaffaye]

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

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 :

I was going to create a new feature request when I stumbled on this one.

The scheduler component already supports tags which aren’t the same as labels which I think you’re referring to above?

The component supplies an enable all schedules and a disable all schedules service. Would it be possible to add a variation to enable/disable all services with a tag?

There is a workaround I'm using to turn on/off Schedules by label:

- action: switch.turn_on
  data: {}
  target:
    entity_id: >-
      {{ label_entities('this_is_my_label') | select('match', 'switch.') | list }}

And this is what I’m using to select all schedules with a tag containing a string

{{ states.switch | selectattr('entity_id', 'in', integration_entities('Scheduler')) | selectattr('attributes.tags', 'search', 'string’) | map(attribute='entity_id') | reject('eq',None) | list }}

En "elegant" solution to this problem I think would be the allow the "disable_all" and "enable_all" service call to specify a tag (I mean the Scheduler Card tags, not the HA labels)

I was just about to open a Feature Request myself for the same idea.

My use case would be to easily implement a "Vacation" automation that disables all schedules tagged with "heating", for example.
