The Hue API allows you to group lights. Home Assistant also supports grouping of entities natively, but sometimes it can be usefull to use Hue Groups to group light bulbs. By doing so, Home Assistant only needs to send one API call to change the state of all the bulbs in those groups instead of one call for every light in the group. This causes all the bulbs to change state simultaniously.
These Hue Groups can be a `Luminaire`, `Lightsource`, `LightGroup` or `Room`. The `Luminaire` and `Lightsource` can't be created manually since the Hue bridge manages these automatically based on the discovered bulbs. The `Room` and `LightGroup` can be created manually trough the API, or the mobile app. A bulb can only exist in one `Room`, but can exist in multiple `LightGroup`. The `LightGroup` can be usefull to link certain bulbs together since.

The 2nd generation Hue app only allows to create a `Room`. You need to use the first generation app or the API to create a `LightGroup`.
