​ > [@robertklep](#): > > I believe the app has some options to mitigate this issue, by using a small delay in between each device command. Correct, but the _settable_ delays seem to be moved to the “United” group type (Maybe available to the other advanced groups as well) @Mystic_Wizard you’ll need this : ![Screenshot_20250620_141932_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/a/6ab967e9225634ed9be2be2ed64dae4dd199bd88.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20250620_141845_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/a/4a55427604af6c7181c77a708e8a20ae30bd1ca7.jpeg) (delay values are just an example) Play a bit with the delay times to get the optimal balance between delays and error-free operation. ---

Yes, indeed. Did see that one but was wondering if it was a bug. Thanks ---

It’s not possible for the Hue lights within the native Groups. But indeed possible with single lights. ---

Thanks @Peter_Kawa for making me aware of this app. Played around with the new groups feature and was disappointed it couldn’t handle similar devices in different zones. The community app works great. ---

Thanks for helping out, gonna try this right now. Still, this functionality is so basic, I wouldn’t mind paying a one time small fee to get this software update but now I feel abandoned. Edit: just applied the suggestions. Lets see how long it works. ---

2 days ago one of the lights in the lightgroup stopped responding. I had it set to 150 ms. Increased it to 300 now to see if it will last. Individually the light was working fine. I suspect something happens when homey gets updates. [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/new-groups-feature-suggestions-for-improvement/137839.md?page=1)
