I have a group of shades, configured as listed below. It seems to work fine, but after maybe 12+ hours of not using the grouped device, it seems to go inactive, meaning the UI loses the ability to control it until I go into the zwave config an manually open one or more of the devices.
platform: group
name: Family Room Shades
entities:
- cover.family_room_shade_1_level
- cover.family_room_shade_2_level
- cover.family_room_shade_3_level
- cover.family_room_shade_4_level
This is what it looks like in Lovelac when it goes inactive. The controls to raise / lower are gone.
Same thing here, but I’ve clicked on the group.
This is what the raw zwave device looks like (one of them, they all look like this).
After I raise one or more of the blinds using a raw device.
