Did you try to restart the group app? ---

Maybe you can start utilizing Device Capabilities - [Device Capabilities | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/Device-Capabilities/test) It also offers “grouping” capabilities and much much much more. ---

I recently had an issue with the group app, where it was not able to control a light, every time I added it to the group … it removed itself immediately. It ended up being an issue with the light and I had to remove and re-add it. * * * @Sharkys Device Capabilities is a great app and very useful, (I use it myself even). **HOWEVER** Athom are working on native grouping, I wouldn’t be surprised if it is released with their dashboard (which is close to testing this month). If you can wait … wait to see if their native solution fixes your issues - i’ve been waiting for them to do groups for a very long time (obviously I like the feature). And I am excited to see what they come up with, hopefully the tens of thousands of people who use the group app will be able to have one less app soon. _(Disclaimer, I suspect merged, union and fused groups might be still required - but that is the minority of users)._ ---

Did not know they’re where working on native grouping, but at the same time I wondered why it not already exist as it does in other automation systems. ---

I have had issues with groups. My solution was to create a new group, adjust flows to new group, delete old group and rename new group to old group name. Had todo with the version of a group device, issues with older group device version ( I think/suspected). ---

> [@Jamie](#): > > **HOWEVER** Athom are working on native grouping, Any news about this? I’m getting tired of lamps getting ticket off by themselves in the app. My lighting automation have been working great for several years, but now some lights don’t react on commands randomly. When I do a “Repair” in the app I can see that the unresponsive lights are no longer ticked in the list. I mark them again and it works for a couple of days until the same thing repeats itself. This is not OK in my view. ---

> [@Jamie](#): > > Hey @Paxman you realise I don’t work at / for Athom right? Absolutely! But you did mention native grouping and I simply asked if you (or anyone else reading this thread) have heard anything new about it. > [@Jamie](#): > > I’m sorry that it’s “not ok in your view” but I’m not really sure what your expecting from me … I expect an app not to remove things that I have told it to remember. If my phone lost numbers in my phonebook now and then I would not be OK with that either. 😉 Have you looked into this issue or is development halted due to the expected native grouping? ---

Much faster, and in my experience the list of grouped devices is restored. ---

> [@Paxman](#): > > If my phone lost numbers in my phonebook now and then I would not be OK with that either. That would entirely depend on where I got my phonebook from? If I paid apple $1000 then I would start throwing around messages like “this is not good enough”, maybe if I had paid $50 I would be asking when to expect it to be fixed. But if it was a free app which someone donates their time to, out of the goodness of their heart. Personally I would be nice and see if they would do me a favour by looking into it… But you do you, do what you want and see what works. ---

> [@Paxman](#): > > But that’s only a temporary fix right? It’s not a permanent solution, only a quicker recovery for this particular problem. Nowadays I mostly use zones to control lights, only have two groups and use them mostly to monitor which lights are on, but apart from after firmware upgrades I don’t encounter the problem very often. ---
