Optimize Helper Group?

Hello there, I had encountered problems with the groups helper for light groups.

I had added via zha (Sky Connect) on the one hand two lights in the garden (Gardenpole RGBW-Lightify) to a group and 3 other lights (CLA60 RGBW OSRAM) to another. But when I try to control the light group it often happens that not all lights of this group react.

For example, if I turn off the group with the 3 bulbs, 1 or 2 lights go out, but at least 1 remains on and the group is still (correctly) displayed as on. Only if I turn off the remaining lights individually, the group is also displayed as off.

Is this a problem of the group helper?

You will likely get better control, and a side benefit of reduced zigbee traffic, if you use zigbee groups instead of grouping the lights through the groups helper.

To create a zigbee group go to the Devices menu, click on you Zigbee coordinator (Sky Connect), click on the “Add Devices Via this Device” button, select the “Groups” tab, then press “Create Group”.

Thank you very much, I did not saw this group tab yet :roll_eyes:.
