## Target Selection

**Q**: If I define a `label_id` and an `area_id`, and in that area I have 3 devices, is the `label_id` treated as an `AND`? (so it will send to just devices in `label_id` that have `label_id`), or an `OR`, (so it sends to all devices that are in `area_id`, as well as all devices in the system that have `label_id`?)

**A**: It works as an OR selector - give me all everything that is in area X OR has label Y, so all the `area_id`,`floor_id` and `label` targets all add up to one big list. This is part of the standard Home Assistant [target selectors](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/blueprint/selectors/#target-selector) which happens outside of Supernotify, and works the same for all integrations.

**Q**: How do I send a notification to only 3 of my Alexa speakers and not the rest.

**A**: There are a few ways of doing this

Option 1 - Use the Home Assistant [Target Selector](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/blueprint/selectors/#target-selector) on the `supernotify.notify` action to pick the speakers by their **Area**, **Floor** or **Label**.

Option 2 - Create a separate *Delivery* (YAML only at present) for these speakers, and list them as targets. Then when setting up notifications, pick this delivery from the list.

```yaml
alexa_inform:
    alias: Ask all the Alexas apart from bedrooms to speak the notification
    transport: alexa_devices
    target:
    - notify.kitchen_alexa_speak
    - notify.living_room_flex_speak
    - notify.studio_speak
```

**Q**: My question isn't here, and I can't get find answer in the docs.

**A**: Try using an AI agent if you have one, like Claude or ChatGPT, or the Home Assistant chat bot - the Supernotify site has agent-accessible help, and can give good suggestions and even write or rewrite your YAML for you.

Otherwise, ask a human at the [Discussions](https://github.com/rhizomatics/supernotify/discussions) page for general help, or the [Issues](https://github.com/rhizomatics/supernotify/issues) if you've found a bug.
