So with the depreciation of the Light Groups in .107 i have lost my Light groups, and Groups in general. But my biggest thing is my light groups.
What is the best alternative to be able to use these in a group setting so that both my Google home, and my Emulated hue will see them as lights?
EDITED TITLE: for less confusion.
Groups and light groups have not been deprecated… the release notes even say that groups haven’t been deprecated, and there is no mention of light groups.
Check that you don’t have a deprecated option in any of your groups. What errors are you receiving? Light groups were unaffected, and mine are still working.
For those coming along later
There is no depreciation of light groups or groups
Ahh, ok, so I thought i had read that in the breaking changes that it was going away. And when i updated to .107 from .105, i got some errors. So it could very well be that i have an item in there that has since been depreciated inside my groups.ymal, or my Lights.ymal. I’ll see if i can paste my light group config, but its pretty simple.
Check the logs for errors. Also check that your regular groups don’t contain the deprecated options listed in the release notes I linked above.
Run the command line config check and see what it generates.
Thank you very much guys for pointing me in the right direction. So end result was I did have a couple of depreciated commands in the groups.ymal (the “control: hidden” flag to be exact) that must of stopped the groups entirely. After removing the “control: hidden” out of a couple of the groups, everything is back to working.
Thank you guys for pointing me in the right area.
