Expose a single group via emulated Hue

Configuration
1

I’m having some difficulty understanding how to expose a single group. I don’t want to expose groups using expose_by_default and it looks like the “entities” settings are for customizing something that has been exposed already.

I’d like to expose group.christmas. I’m trying:

emulated_hue:
  host_ip: 192.168.1.104
  listen_port: 8300
  off_maps_to_on_domains:
    - script
    - scene
  expose_by_default: false
  exposed_domains:
    - light
  entities:
    group.christmas:
      name: Christmas Lights

But group.christmas is not in the JSON when I check HA:8300/api/pi/lights so it’s not being seen by my Alexas.

emulated_hue:
  host_ip: 192.168.1.104
  expose_by_default: false
  exposed_domains:
    - light
  entities:
    group.christmas:
      name: Christmas Lights
      hidden: false

And rescan for devices from Alexa app.

Ah - thanks. So the hidden:false overrides the fact that all groups are hidden?

Added: That did the trick!

Yeah I think so, I’m not sure exactly if I’m honest, I just referenced my own config and hoped for the best :smile:
