Latest update states grouping is possible. How does that work?

You first need Homey v12.4.5 and app version 9.3.0.

Then, you will find a new function “create group” in a device (window covering, light or device set to class “light” like a smart plug) settings.
If you click it you can select other devices of the same type to create a group together.

I have been waiting for this and was really looking forward to the update, but now it seems only the new homey Pro gets the future and not the 2019 version. Is there any reason why the 2019 couldn’t get a feature like this? I understand that you have to pay for significant new features like advanced flows etc., but this seems like such a basic feature that I would have expected it to be part of a normal update..

Expectations…
Although I agree with you a group function is such a basic feature, idk why it took 10 years to get published :face_with_peeking_eye: ?

I think it’s mainly just a commercial decision, ‘guiding’ you to purchase a new model.
I also think we cannot expect a device to get (free) additional features forever.

Luckily there’s two great community apps with so much more functionality:
The advanced virtual device of Device Capabilities, and < group >
