Select group members in Lovelace

Hi

is it possible to select group members from the GUI? Right now I have a “hard coded” group like this:

plugs_auto:
  entities:
    - switch.shelly_plug_1
    - switch.osram_plug_2
    - switch.osram_plug_3

But I would like to select the entities of the group from the GUI. Is that possible?

Thx!

AFAIK, not possible.

The closest would be activating scripts from front end that add a specific device to a group, but that doesn’t sound like what you want.

Hm. Ok. What I want is to select a group of lamps from the GUI that switch on automatically in the evening…

Awkward work around:

Create input Booleans for each lamp. Control from Lovelace. Automation checks if IB is on and if so controls each lamp. Ugly, but it should accomplish what you want.

OK, I understand, thx for your idea! But you are right: quite ugly and scales badly. I’ll test it out anyway…
