Group visibility issue

Configuration
1

I am on Hassbian and have created a group with just one sensor just for using the group.visibility service.

  wind_chill:
    name: Wind chill
    view: false
    entities:
      - sensor.windchill

I have included this group in a group on one of the tabs.

  misc_frontpage_group:
    name: Misc
    control: hidden
    view: false
    entities:
      - sensor.time
      - sensor.washing_machine_status
      - script.weatherradar_visibility_on_off
      - group.wind_chill

I then use this automation to make the group visible and it works, but when visible it just shows “unknown” instead of the wind chill value. Someone knows how to make the value show?

  - alias: Wind chill VISIBLE when conditions met
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id:  light.kitchen_down (just for testing)
        from: 'off'
        to: 'on'
    action:
      - service: group.set_visibility
        data:
          entity_id:
            - group.wind_chill
          visible: true

Update:
When I just show the group on the frontend without including it in another group it shows the value and icon correct,

If you’re using lovelace the group visibility thing doesn’t work (it’s for the old states ui), use a conditional card.

I AM actually using the old states UI :slight_smile:

Pretend I was never here. :wink:
