It appears that the latest update may have broken group entities from being displayed? Everything still seems to work and I can manually put in an entityId for a group, but groups no longer seem to appear in the Entity field of the Properties page?
Are you in the entity or device drop down. It won’t show groups as a device but does as an entity.
I’m having the same issues!
The groups are no longer showing in the entities field. When I inspect the node I can see the group;
target
object
entityId: array[1]
0: "group.home_lights"
areaId: array[0]
deviceId: array[0]
But it doesn’t show in the entity field:
Is the entity states available in global context menu? If it’s there you can manually enter the entity name, it will probably work.
Also from the faq
There sometimes is a caching issue. Caching can be disabled for autocomplete results in the server config node and restarting Node-RED.
It does show in the global context menu.
Disabling cache and restarting don’t appear to have done anything.
I can manually type in the entity group.home_lights and that does work, however; when reopening the edit modal the field is empty again. When I then save again it does overwrite the value with an empty one.
I’ll create a new home assistant instance tonight of one of my backups where the old home assistant (pre-February) is running and see if it is still working at that point, just to make sure it actually was the February release!
Any luck? I’m having same issue and struggling to find a solution.
