I’m new to Home assistant and I’m trying to configure an script/automation to turn a group of lights on.
I have followed the instructions in the docs for a light group created using the platform:group. I get the group to function properly in the frontend when I manually want to turn the lights on or off, but I have no idea of how to script this group or how to automate this group since there is no id associated with the group.
So I do not have the property of group.interior_lights as you described them, do I? Do I need to associate the individual lamps in a group to make this work?
So from what I understand, it creates an id from the name, by making lower case letters and replacing space with subscores… The most interesting aspect is what happens when I introduce a swedish word with a non-normal character such as “ö” or “ä”.
you should keep entity names in plain English (or swedish with no accents) and use the friendly_name to display the Swedish name with accents.
Most sensors will allow you to define a friendly name, if they don’t, you can add that info in the customisation area.
Let me know if you need help
