A group collects devices that you want to see together, for example the devices of a shop. A device can be in many groups.

The groups show above the device list. All shows all your devices.

Computer

Phone

• The group name: click it to change it.
• Change icon: select an icon for the group.
• Devices: the devices in the group.
• Follow: when an output in the group changes, all the other outputs in the group change as well.
• Delete group: deletes the group. The devices stay in your account.

Caution

With Follow, one click on one output changes all the outputs in the group. Turn it on only in groups with outputs that must work together, for example the lights of a corridor.

Many groups

When you have 5 or more groups, a button on the left of the groups opens the Groups list. From there you select a group quickly.

Each group keeps its own order of devices. See Reorder in the device list.

• Scenes: inside a group, only the scenes that change this group show. See scenes.
• Rules: a rule can turn all the outputs of a group on or off. See rule actions.
• Data: the Data page selects devices by group. See charts.
• Local: the special group Local shows the devices on the same local network as you. You cannot change it.
