Group doesn't get created, YAML seems fine

Hi, why is the “mute” group not getting created, even after restart? Nothing in logs BTW.

group:
  persons:
    name: People & Devices
    entities:
      - person.jiri_fiala
      - person.adela
  lights:
    name: Living Room Lights
    entities:
      - light.sofa_light
      - light.dining_table_light
      - light.retro_lamp
      - light.xiaomi_philips_smart_led_ball
      - light.work_lamp
      - light.bedroom_tunable
      - light.e15_pc
  mute:
    name: Mute
    entities: 
      - media_player.samsung_tv_remote
      - media_player.living_room_echo_dot
      - media_player.bedroom_echo_dot
      - media_player.symfonisk
      - media_player.symfonisk_2
      - media_player.echo_show
      - media_player.spotify_jiri_fiala

The persons and lights groups are fine. Thanks

BTW HA really needs UI groups creation. And yes, I already voted on that.

Do you get any errors under Configuration -> Logs?

Also for lights, you should use a light group instead of a normal group.

No, nothing in logs. Sorry, should’ve stated that in the OP. Lights group works fine, what will be different if I use a specific Lights group?

When you use a light group, it will create a new light.xxx entity that can control brightness, color etc. for the whole group and you also get the bulb icon that changes color depending on tje state. It behaves like a light. Whereas with the normal group you can only turn it on/off.

Great, thanks! Still, the Mute group isn’t getting created :slight_smile: I would like it to use it for muting things while on Zoom or phonecall.

EDIT: it got created after four restarts and no edits… :-/
