Edit: turns out i had modified my backup groups.yaml file, not my active file. Doh!
I must be doing something wrong here but try as i might i can’t figure it out. I did some searching and looking at others HA setups and watched a Bruh vid on the subject but i’m just not getting it and any changes i make to groups.yaml now are not represented on the UI when reloaded.
I’ve got 4 Google devices: 2 chromecast, 1 chromecast audio and 1 google home mini. All of them are showing in my device list and if i cast something it updates correctly and i can control it.
My current groups.yaml is below

Can someone give me a bit of a steer on what i’m doing wrong. If you need more information around my config please let me know. I will probably change this layout a little, but i’m stumped by why when i make changes (and i’ve made many changes) this isn’t updating in the UI but also why the google devices aren’t showing up in the UI.
