How i can create a hue bulbs group?

Post by kitopopo »

Dear friends,

I have 4 hue bulbs devices in my room. Is possible create a domoticz group for the 4 bulbs? I want test several colours using the "circle colour" with the domoticz app or domoticz desktop" and to be able to send several colours to the 4 bulbs in real time (similar with hue bridge that is possible select 1, 2 , 3 o 4 bulbs for send the action). I have zigbe2mqtt. Thanks in advanced

Best regards

Create a group in zigbee2mqtt and name it according the rules to get a dimmer. See also https://github.com/stas-demydiuk/domoti ... qtt-plugin

Yes, I have a group created in zigbe2mqtt, and I act through scripts on the 4 bulbs at the same time making a call to the group. But from domoticz I cannot act on 4 at the same time using the color circle (color palette) of the domoticz device. I attach a photo.

You should ask.the plugin maker. Can you change to color from Zigbee2mqtt directly?
What do you see in the logging of Domoticz if you try to change the color from Domoticz?

By the way, there is a Zigbee forum here, so better to ask this there. I will ask a moderator to move this topic.

Hello again,

I do not know why my message has moved to this forum since it is not a problem of zigbe2mqtt, but of domoticz. In zigbe2mqtt I can create groups correctly, in domoticz you cannot create groups. Please @leecollings cna you move the message in questions answers domoticz. Domoticz could add in the next updates create groups if it is requested by more people. From my point of view I think that it is not a problem with zigbe2mqtt since it could also create other types of groups that are not zigbee

You cannot use Domoticz group switch for this. But if you create a group in zigbee2mqtt that will create a separate rgb switch in the switches panel that act as a group switch. At least that is the implemention of Zigate plugin for zigbee groups. I suppose the zigbee2mqtt does the same.

Using a (dummy) Group widget to set RGB color for a group of lights is already notified as an issue: https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/4584
