Are these devices in “topic groups”? Is that the right terminology? How are these groups defined?
I want to put some switches in the house, and some in the garage. Those in the house, I want to group them in different rooms.
Thanks.
I get that “groups” is the wrong word, but how do I create these “organisations of topics”?
Is it all done within HA?
How do I do it?
What would I even search for in Google?
I think there might be some misunderstanding based on the other thread I replied to.
The “topics” moe is referring to are the MQTT Topics that you have programmed in your device. Those topics can also be related to locations so that you can kind of make into a kind of “group” but it’s only based on the topic in the MQTT message. the Home Assistant frontend will never see that topic. All it will see is a device called “Bedroom Switch”.
The new Lovelace frontend doesn’t use the concept of “groups” to display entities anymore. To get them to display in groups in the front end you need to put all of the related entities into cards.
