Groups - new vs old?

I notice the “groups” documentation now says not to use the old style.

The new way looks interesting but I am having a hard time figuring out what the correct options would be to do what I used to do in some cases.

How would something like this (to easily let me enable/disable all the related automatons) work in the new style? I don’t see anything that looks appropriate.

group:
  kitchen_lamp_timers:
    name: "Kitchen Lamp Timers"
    entities:
      - automation.kitchen_lamp_timers_on_weekday_morning
      - automation.kitchen_lamp_timers_off_weekday_morning
      - automation.kitchen_lamp_timers_on_cloudy_evening
      - automation.kitchen_lamp_timers_on_evening
      - automation.kitchen_lamp_timers_off_night

I don’t see an “automation” type group for the new groups?

Yup. There is no new option for that.

Ok, fair enough. Doesn’t sound like the old way will be deprecated so I’ll keep using that then. Thanks.
