I’m trying to control group(s) of Hue lights via Z-wave switches with the physical paddles disabled via automation.
Since Hue Groups don’t have unique IDs, they do not have device IDs and only show up as entities in those blueprints. This means that actions like dimming brightness up and down can be done on the individual bulb level (and therefore more relayed commands to the hue hub), but not at the Hue Group level.
Is there a way to assign a unique ID to a Hue Group?
Or is my only method for accomplishing this to create groups for the Hue Bulbs via Home Assistant? Any other suggestions?
