Status not working on Tradfri groups or working as intended?

Hi, I’m new to HA, and in the process of setup and learning the system. I have come across an issue configuring the UI (hiding stuff). The tradfri app/gateway creates groups and put lightbulbs in these groups.

HA lists these groups and lightbulbs separately, however it does not update the status of the groups, only the lightbulbs. Is this a bug or working as intended ?

Because I have hidden all the lightbulbs from the UI and only show the groups, and it is working fine, however if I use the tradfri remote/switch to turn on the light the UI does not indicate the light is on, because only the status of the bulb is changed to on. The group still has status as off (even with just one bulb in the group)

I understant this might be working as intended because there could be some logic problem here with groups and bulbs, but UI wise it’s not very practical to list every light bulb, especially when you have fixtures with several bulbs in them.

Hi yrune,

Did you find a solution to this. I have the same problem. However I have recently started with a new hassio install after a few months of not using it but I am sure I had this working in the past.

I just dropped it and made groups in HA and hid the tradfri groups.

Yes, What I’ve resorted to also :frowning_face:
Will post if I figure out the correct way.
