I can not control zigbee devices in a group. Why is that. Is this a bug? Seems to be an important functionality to accept ewelink as serious home system. Regards Constapel ---

Hey, It would be best if you shared more info so someone can hop in to help Like: - What devices are you using - Which zigbee gateway have you connected them with - Where do you intend to control them ---

Smart home system should be able to group zigbee devices. Then scenes can be activated on groups. Is that so hard? ---

Leave your zigbee deviceid, I’ll troubleshoot why it doesn’t have group support for you. ---

Hi its is not about zigbee ID. Why is there no functionality to combine (any) zigbee device in to a group. And then controle the group. ---

Equipment that is not of the same product model cannot be combined into a single group. ---

I agree to merge devices of the same type into a group where I have minil2 or zegbee bulbs like this
