Can you create device groups in Gladys?

everything is in the title!

Hi @Chris75!

Great question, currently the only grouping of devices we have is the room :slight_smile:

What would you like to do?

for example, grouping all the shutters on a floor and making them controllable by Alexa, or certain light bulbs in different rooms to create an ambiance, or all the outlets connected to the backup battery, etc…

To create ambiances across multiple outlets or bulbs, you can create scenes

For the Alexa part, I wonder if it’s better to use groups on the Alexa side, because even if we created a group notion on the Gladys side, I’m not sure I can expose it to Alexa :slight_smile:

In this case, indeed, creating a scene is often the best option!

You can eventually create a virtual device in the « Virtual Device MQTT Â» integration that will be the facade of your scene if needed.

Ok, I’m going to test the groups on the Alexa side
And indeed, I hadn’t thought about the scenes, but I’m not sure Alexa will understand! As for the Gladys AI, it replied in Chinese and did some Chinese!! I’ll send you the debug log in a private message
