Hi all, Is there a way to group devices with the new Homey pro without an extra app? As I go to advanced device settings, I see a text field ‘Groups’. But I can’t find a way to create a group of devices. Can you help out? Kind regards, Marieke ---

Homey doesn’t have a built-in grouping option. Not sure what the text field is for, perhaps post a screenshot? ---

If it is in the Advanced Setting of a device then it is probably app dependent. So what app and device is it on? Is it a ZigBee or ZWave device? ---

Anyone know if this is in development? It was a pain to create a flow for every light switch just so that a double tap up or down means dim +/-10% Also a huge pain is their inability to abstract a flow to the device. I duplicate a flow and I have to change the entire card rather than just the device. 🤦🏻‍♂️ ---

Yoy can use an Advanced Virtual Device from the Device Capabilities app. Use reflection to group devices. ---

Could you kindly explain how to use reflection to group devices in the Device Capabilities app? ---

And you can assign devices to a group like that? ---

I can’t figure out how to set it. It is an empty parameter for all my zigbee devices ---

Perhaps it’s something that might work in the future 🤷🏼‍♂️
