I don’t understand why there is a zone restriction for creating groups. It just remove useful flexibility no ?
Basic use case :
I have several connected shutters. They are not in the same zone, but when I leave the house, or I go to bed, I would like to be able to close them all in one click.
Just a simple example, but there are probably many more that would make useful to create groups of items that are not in the same place.
The onboard group function is basically designed to control 3 table lights as one light.
Emile (one of the founders) even said this in a Homey podcast: “for more advanced usage, head over to the < group > app”.
Yeah that is something I had some trouble with as well when trying to group the lights from the livingroom and the dinner room.
I was not aware of the < group > app (blame my laziness to google) and I created an Homey script that grouped the devices I needed and created some logics for turning them on and off and put that script in a flow.
So yes, I also don’t really understand why this is restricted, but there are ways to work around this problem
