Did you try to restart the group app?
Wellā¦
IĀ“m a bit ashamed, but yes, that did the job
Thanks!
I have the same problem, gave up found no solution. Did you get any response?
Maybe you can start utilizing Device Capabilities - Device Capabilities | Homey
It also offers āgroupingā 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 ā¦ 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 wouldnāt be surprised if it is released with their dashboard (which is close to testing this month).
If you can wait ā¦ wait to see if their native solution fixes your issues - iāve 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 theyāre 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).
Since The latest Homey Update groups are no longer working. I have two groups both of 3 Lamp. Since the update in both Groups, 1 of the 3 lamps Itās no longer working when I tried to control them with the group app
I pretty much always have to restart the Group app after a Homey firmware update to restore function.
I donāt have this problem (HP23 latest firmware)
Restarting The group App Solved my problem
Any news about this?
Iām 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 donāt react on commands randomly.
When I do a āRepairā 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.
Hey @Paxman you realise I donāt work at / for Athom right?
Iām sorry that itās ānot ok in your viewā but Iām not really sure what your expecting from me ā¦
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.
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?
I know Iām repeating myself, but try restarting the app instead of repairing. Much faster, and in my experience the list of grouped devices is restored.
Iāll try that next time.
But thatās only a temporary fix right? The bug is still there?
That would entirely depend on where I got my phonebook from? If I paid apple $1000 then I would start throwing around messages like āthis is not good enoughā, 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 itā¦
But you do you, do what you want and see what works.
Itās 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 donāt encounter the problem very often.
Sorry if I offended you Jamieā¦that was not my intention at all. I wonāt report any more bugs in your app.
I have the same problem.
