I’m trying to trigger a group of lights to turn on in an automation. I’ve formed the group in the configuration file (screenshot #1), and can interact with it (toggle it on/off) on the overview page (screenshot #2). I can also confirm it exists as a group in Developer Tools (screenshot #3). But, when I try to perform an automation → action → Action type → Device, the group never populates in the drop down box as an option (screenshot #4).
Question #1: Why can’t I find the group in automations? Question #2 (tangential question): Notice the locks on the overview page (screenshot #2) don’t have a combination toggle to turn them both on/off simultaneously. Is there a reason / fix for that?
Thanks for the reply. I also cannot find it as a service (see screenshot).
Follow up questions: 1. Is there a different way I should be searching for the group, as a service? 2. Is there a simple/easy way to add toggle functionality to the locks, so it works like the lights?
When I type “group.”, I don’t see group.turn_on, or either of the others. Here is what I see (screenshot).
I opened “Group.Set” for a hot moment, and then backed out because I wasn’t confident it was what I was looking for. Is there something else I’m missing?
This is good except there isn’t a way to set the brightness as you can do with devices. I wonder since HomeKit let’s you set the brightness for a group device , if the feature will come to HA.
