[APP STORE] Device Groups - makes grouping devices easy
HomeyGroup - makes grouping devices easy
Since i recently added some Ikea bulbs to Homey, i was missing a way to group them in an easy way without flows.So now with HomeyGroups you can add a new (virtual) device that asks during the pairing process what class it should be, what capabilities should be added and then shows what devices are capable of grouping. Once added you got 1 device that controls all the grouped ones.
The app is tested with lights, sockets etc. but i am hoping some people could test this with other classes and capabilities as well.
To do:
- Translate pairing process
- Sync device states with the group
- On realtime event check all states, switch the groupedDevice accordingly
- Add appstore pictures with hidden kibbeling

This app is amazing. Grouping my devices to a single switch has never been this easy.
Without any flow i can controle my sunscreens by floor level and all of them .. same for a complete floor light plan etc.
Give it a try and it will become clear that you cant have a Homey without this app installed on it.
This should be native in Homey!
Love this app. A lot of flows are delete, because of this app.
Well done @swttt
got tired myself of dragging 3 lights to one flow just to switch on the kitchen lights etc.
Huhm...might need to create an app settings page for that.
But first somehow i want to create a setting to sync device status to the grouped device.
So you can chose if 1 device within the group is on, show grouped device as off and only show as on when all devices are on as well. Or show it as on if just 1 device is on within the group.
They should work with the current HomeyDash beta, and will work in the future update as well.
Every device gets their class (like light etc.) so even speech wil work for grouped devices if you ask homey to turn off all the lights in the livingroom for example
Might depend on what capabilities your blinds support, you could try other options. It only displays devices with the supported capability. (in your example case all devices with the dim capability)
I already improved the pairing process (no {{device.name}} anymore when loading a pairing window)
But it would be nice if the grouped device responds to the devices that are in it. (if 1 device within the group is on, the grouped device should have the state turned on etc.)
Anyone any ideas about it?
- 1 or more devices are on, group shows on
- all devices are off, group shows off
Your app is pretty close to the "Virtual devices"-app...
Don't know how much work it would be - but perhaps the options from that one could be integrated in yours - and woops - two apps were reduced to one :-)
Thanks in advance!
Do note, this is a simple solution. It works, but no fancy features. Athom said they were working on a solution themself, so i stopped developing this.
Is there any news on homey updates?
Published already in the appstore.
I have grouped two sonos speakers and put them in a flow with playlist
When I run the flow one speaker played the playlist the other plays sometihng else?
Can you assist to solve this?
Thanks,
