ZHA groups not recognized in Blueprints

Is it just me or when creating an automation via Blueprints, when I select a device, it won’t give me any option to select a group I created in ZHA?

(This particular group is a simple grouping of 3 cree light bulbs in a dining room light.)

Yes, I have been able to select each bulb in sequence and it responds very quickly… but that gets really annoying when you are doing a toggle on/off of each bulb and they get out of sync.

It’s not just you: unfortunately ZHA groups are created as entities, not devices.

While testing @epmatt controller blueprint, I noticed I couldn’t select the group as a device for the action, and even if I could call a Service and then choose the group’s entity, there’s only on/off/toggle, no brightness, color, etc.

So for now you can simply call the light service and turn on/off the group using entities, like this:
