Group of Groups

Configuration
1

I have groups for each

  • Door Sensor
  • Window Sensor
  • Motion Sensor

which have binary_sensor and battery, etc

I want to create a group for each type, example a group of all

  • Door sensors
  • Window Sensors
  • Motion Sensors

This works ok but when adding my “Door Sensors” group to a view, it brings in the card with all sensors and then each individual card.

here is an example:

yaml

  group:
    back_door_sensor:
      name: Back Door Sensor
      entities:
        - binary_sensor.back_Door_Sensor_contact
        - binary_sensor.back_Door_Sensor_tamper
        - sensor.back_Door_Sensor_battery


#######################################################


  door_sensors:
    name: Door Sensors
    entities:
      - group.mudroom_door_sensor
      - group.back_door_sensor

  window_sensors:
    name: Window Sensors
    entities:      
      - group.batcave_window_sensor
      - group.living_room_window_sensor
      - group.office_window_sensor
      - group.basement_bedroom_window_sensor
      - group.tv_room_window_sensor
      - group.toy_room_window_sensor

  motion_sensors:
    name: Motion Sensors
    entities: 
      - group.living_room_multisensor
      - group.garage_multisensor
      - group.basement_multisensor
      - group.basement_hall_multisensor 
      - group.ring_doorbell 


###########################################

  sensors_view:
    icon: mdi:security-home
    view: yes
    entities:
      - group.entry
      - group.door_sensors
      - group.window_sensors
      - group.motion_sensors

Is this a bug?

you seem to have a step in between things here. First you have a Group, with multiple binary sensors and the like, then you group the groups and then try to create views?

Why not go from the first group straight to views?

In other words, just put the group back_door_sensor into a view along with the other groups you want together with it.

Doing that gives me a card for each sensor:

1000×583 16.4 KB

I want a card that lists all the sensors:

501×579 27.9 KB

that will show the individual card when one of the sensors is clicked:

616×592 26.3 KB

As shown in the screenshot in my first post, my ‘group of groups’ is giving me what I want but when I add the group of groups to a view, it adds both the list of sensors (group of groups) and each individual sensor (group) in the view.

a ha, I see what you mean now. My apologies for not understanding first time around.

I think there is a bug with visibility of group in groups as detailed here. I am not sure this is your issue.

Could be, although in the last couple days it seems to have fixed itself (I believe after I updated to 0.50.1 and now 0.50.2).

Has this realy been fixed? I am experiencing the same issues with hassio 0.60
