[SOLVED]Deconz groups don't appear as entities

1

Hello.

I have set up home assistant, a conbee II and deconz. Hassio is installed on a intel nuc, The process went smooth, and I can control all lights through Deconz. Sadly the groups don’t appear as entities in Home Assistant. Causing troubles when I want to control them with adaptive lightning and so on.

I can’t identify the problem and I don’t know how to proceed. I’ve tried to search through the forums and google without any results.

I have noticed the conbee at times have difficulites during configuration. Here is the log:

I hope somebody has the answer, so my girlfriend will stop bugging me with all comments about how easy I can control our lights. Thank you!

I can’t say anything about the error, bit have you allowed HA to use DeConz groups? Integrations page > “configure” in the left bottom corner of the DeConz integration’s window.

Thank you for quick suggestion.

Yes, it is activated :frowning:

Quite embrassing.

I just figured that I didn’t install Decconz as an integration, but only as an add-on… Problem solved
