Add is_group attribute to light groups #14081
Comments
Hmm. Not sure if you consider this a bug or a feature request. x-D Posted one there too. |
All attributes are stored in each Admittedly, there are quite a few components that use static attributes right now, but that doesn't mean we should repeat past mistakes. Also, the light group platform should behave like & and have the attributes as any other light by design. They should essentially be indistinguishable from single lights in the frontend. In the use-case you linked to: why not just create a custom blacklist? I mean you have to create separate configuration sections for each light group anyway, so I honestly don't see the reason why a whole new attribute should be added when a simple little blacklist would probably work just fine. |

Component/platform: light groups doc
Description of problem: impossible to differentiate between actual lights, and light groups.

configuration.yaml
entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):Additional information: There are scenarios (like this) where it would be helpful to be able to differentiate between actual lights (light.bulb1 and light.bulb2 in the configuration above) and a light group (eg. light.rooma). This could be done by automatically adding an attribute to light groups; for instance
is_group = true
, similar to the attributeis_hue_group: true
which is set for light groups imported through hue.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
