Problem with entities that are to be added via labels

[Firehome2022]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to pass switch entity via a label named ‘Alexa_Hub’ to Alexa via the Matter Hub Bridge. In the Matter Hub Config I have also written the name of the label all in lower case ‘alexa_hub’ as described. However, the entities are not displayed in the device overview in the Matter Hub Config and of course are not transferred to Alexa.
Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong or whether this is not yet working with the labels, the Matter Hub is still in alpha status. Otherwise I'm really impressed with the bridge.
Thanks for your support in advance.

I have to restart the add-on every time I add the label to a new device to get it to add.

I can just hit edit on the bridge and then save it and it will pick up the newly labled entity. Not as nice as it auto picking up, but doesnt require a full restart.

Thanks, @sparkym3 .
I didn't know that yet and it works very well!

I have this same issue. I had just 3 devices exposed to Google and was using the 3 instances of the "pattern" type to bring them in with their full entity_id string. That's obviously inefficient as my system grows so I thought I'd switch to labels. I went and added a label "For Google" to each device I want exposed and then went to the Matter Hub and removed the 3 entity_ids and added the label for_google (I double checked with {{ labels() }} to confirm that's the correct slug) and no devices show up. I tried restarting Home Assistant.

Edit - I've tried removing and re-creating the bridge. I've tried deleting and re-creating the label.

1. Labels have to be added to the ENTITIES and not to the DEVICES.
2. The hub does not get notified by Home Assistant when a label is added to a new entity

To work around (2), you need to do one of the following:

• restart the addon
• edit ("Edit" -> "Save") the bridge without changing anything
