I shouldn’t be exposing any groups should I? None of my other groups are being sync’ed
Actually - it’s not syncing it but it behaves as if it is. If I tell it to turn on the office light I get the group turning on. If I tell it to activate a scene all is well. Before I defined the group I could say turn on office. Had to be careful or it could consider it to be a room… Maybe it’s too similar and I should put them in a study room instead of office…
According to the entity register, light.office_light_group is the correct entity name. I know it’s different to the normal but it’s the new light group component.
Weird. On 0.65.4 now and it’s (Google Assistant) telling me I only have 6 lights when I tell it ‘lights off’ So that group is definitely gone now from Google. I can still use my scenes etc so removing groups was a good idea it seems.
My Wemo bit the dust last night with a power blackout - maybe just a coincidence as we have a wired in surge protector and everything else is working ok. So getting a couple more xiaomi wifi switches for $14 Woot!
All around this seems odd. It is a new group type, maybe they are hammering out the details. Might take a build or two. Might be worth it to check out the github for homeassisant and see if anyone mentions issues with the group light.
I’m not seeing an issue now. I am only getting the 6 lights exposed and my scenes which is what I want. I think part of my problem was that I have a light named the same as a room - I think that’s an issue possible. However, not I have the groups hidden from GA, I’m getting exactly what I want. As a bonus, none of my automations are exposed anymore either.
Maybe the light group shows up in the UI as a light, but under the hood is in the group domain. It really depends on what the class that light group is inheriting from. I would guess its inheriting from a group entity.
I probably should have a play and see. I have it explicitly exposed as false and I don’t have groups exposed either. I don’t really care which it is as it’s doing what I want anyway. I am pretty sure it is a light given it’s not a group. entity
