Ask:
-
Groups to have built-in option to auto-sync state and all values: attributes like state (on, off, custom values, etc), lighting values (effects, brightness, RGB color, color temperature, etc),
-
‘last’ attributes for each items in #1 above: Last State, Last value, Last Change Day/Time
-
attribute for ‘Entity forcing sync’ which records what Entity changed (which caused the Group to sync values) and the value of that change
When Groups have the above features, they are very powerful, and can become invaluable to flexible and efficient automations and administrations. In the current form, Groups have very little usefulness. The features I’ve asked for above are features I’ve used for years in a commercial automation product and know how valuable those features are.
thank you
