I have a bunch of device_trackers I use to detect presence. The vast majority of the time it is the same 8 or 10 device trackers I use over and over. For instance, if all of the following 10 device trackers show as not_home, turn off all lights. Is there a way to group these device trackers so I can reference a single entity in a condition? Groups seem to not be an option as Groups seem to have a very narrow use case. I poked at Templates a bit but they seem they may also be the wrong tool - or at least I can’t see how they will work. Any ideas on how to achieve this?
With a Group, but apparently you have dismissed it because it has a “very narrow use case”. Can you explain what that narrow case might be and why it fails to meet your requirements?
Could you be wanting grouping them as person?

Yes, this is exactly what I needed. Many of the YAML only things like this aren’t obvious. Thank you!
