Yep, rename your devices
Yeah, that makes everything redundant and alot longer names (including zones etc) and then I cant see the names of the device in Homey App cause its truncatedā¦
As a workaround, you can try Device capabilities app, there is no filtering built-in either but at least you see device zones. 3rd option is to wait for native Athom grouping - maybe in 2025ā¦
Thanks, been trying out a bit with device capabilities, but its not really what Iām looking for. Will be using the zone for ON/OFF and Better Lights app for dimming (for now).
Hi, I have the same problem the last days. I have groups for all my āevening lightsā (on/off) and last week two of the lamps has not worked - they stand as unselected, but when I reselect them and reopen the ārepairā¦ā they are still unselected.
Going to settings I see them repeated under āDevicesā - but does not work. Now it says I have 26 devices, when thereās only 11. I am afraid these duplicates will mess things up.
Nothing has changed here before, and I have tried to recreate those groups, but still doesnāt work. When starting using āGroupsā years back I realized itās important that the device type is set to ālightsā in my example for it to work, but they are. Devices not working for me (in groups) are Nexa and they work fine otherwise.
Have you found a resolution? Agree, this feature is good - it should be built in imo.
Did you try restarting the app? Usually it fixes the problem for me. Itās no permanent fix though, often it will reappear after the Homey is restarted.
Hello, I share my tip, when I have to use group in a flow, I put a card restart the group application, with a delay of one minute then the card(s) that are part of the group. I do it for switching on and off my lights
Like others before me I want to express my gratitude for this app, really appreciate the effort put into developing it, and it should be added to Homey core functionality - so kudos and keep up the good work @Jamie!
can you tell a bit more about the produces /OEM of the lights are (i only have problems with Zipato bulbs, not sure version 1 or version 2) and the technology (all my bulbs are z-wave)
i have the same problems. What type of lights are you using? (i only have problems with Zipato bulbs, not sure version 1 or version 2) and the technology (all my bulbs are z-wave)
my ikea lights are working fine with groups.
Sorry for being late respondingā¦ I have restarted several times - but will try again this evening. The brands of the units in this case are NEXA receivers.
I really think this talk about certain brands and communication standards giving problems is a red herring. I canāt see there being any particular pattern which devices the app forgets to control.
