Thanks everyone, regarding the ability to add / remove devices from an existing group. This feature has actually been broken for a while now on your existing devices.
On the very first post :
I have pretty limited time for my hobby (ie. this app being one part of this hobby). So if I have a set amount of time per week, I think that the best use of my time would be to fix problems people have, add the settings back, and look at new features. Instead I seem spend a large amount of time -
- Replying to 1 star reviews
- Reading posts in this thread / message box , and repeating myself
- 14 different messages from people asking where a version of the app which supports the HP23
- How many messages now about the settings page?
- Looking at diagnostic reviews of the ‘app not working’ only to find that they mean that the app settings has been implemented yet.
So if you want your problems fixed, or the settings re-added, or a new feature. I need your help, read the first post the thread, send diagnostic reports with lots of detail as to whats going on. (ie. what device isn’t working). Don’t ask questions answered, be really clear if there is a problem as to what the issue is.
Help me … help you.

To be clear
Version 1 of this app was created for pre-release version of homey back it was written by someone called Bas back in 2016. Later in 2018 ie. 5 years ago I re-wrote it and released version 2.3, (coded for the brand new sdk2), in last 5 years I have hardly touched this app. The fact that the latest release has moved from version 2.4 to 3.1 it was not symbolic it represented that massive backwards breaking change to the application.
760 Files were changed
35,450 lines of code added
33,879 lines of code deleted
This was done over 52 separate code releases, and the app has been in testing for weeks.
I really want to thank the people who did help me test this application, I know it has caused some of the testers additional work creating groups and sending the info off, but I really appreciate it.
To everyone else, if you have a problem with the fact that this version of the group app broke your groups - maybe consider helping test the app in the future so that I have enough data to fix these problems.
Or if the group app adds no value with out the ability to add/delete devices after creation :
- Restore your homey back up from yesterday
- Turn off auto updates to the group app
- Turn off auto updates to your homey - because your group app will stop working as soon as athom release v10 of homey to older devices.
Now reading the posts in this thread, Its not clear but I think that the app is working for most people?
@Jahn_K not sure whats going on ill have a look at the diagnostic report and get back to you.
@Strauman - I would love to hear more about it failing when a device in the group is deleted, that didnt happen in the old app, ill test to see if its still occurring. I wonder if it is failing because during the migration it cant get the details of the deleted device … and so it cant migrate.
Can you please restart the app and send me a diagnostic report, including your name and the name of the device failing.
@B3rt what do you mean “nothing” can you please been more specific as to what is happening, i’ve looked at the diagnostic report and everything seems to be working? Can I please get more specific details.
16801154856 [info] [device:Ambilight < hue >] [setGroupCapabilityValue] {
Setting group capability: dim to 0.31 :: [0.15, 0.07, 0.09, 1, 0.24](mean)
}
I really need more specific information from people who groups are not working, so I can look into why - and fix it.
