Groups allow the user to combine multiple entities into one. A group can be promoted to a view by setting the view option to yes. This will make the group available as a new tab in the frontend.
Check the Set State 
page from the Developer Tools and browse the Current entities: listing for all available entities.
By default, every group appears in the HOME tab. If you name a group default_view it will REPLACE the contents of the HOME tab so you can customize it as you wish.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
group:
default_view:
view: yes
entities:
- group.awesome_people
- group.climate
kitchen:
name: Kitchen
entities:
- switch.kitchen_pin_3
upstairs:
name: Kids
icon: mdi:account-multiple
view: yes
entities:
- input_boolean.notify_home
- camera.demo_camera
- device_tracker.demo_paulus
- group.garden
Configuration variables:
- view (Optional): If yes then the entry will be shown as a view (tab).
- name (Optional): Name of the group.
- icon (Optional): If the group is a view, this icon will show at the top in the frontend instead of the name. If it's not a view, then the icon shows when this group is used in another group.
- entities (Required): array or comma delimited string, list of entities to group.
Example of groups shown as views in the frontend.
If all entities in a group are switches or lights then Home Assistant adds a switch at the top of the card that turns them all on/off at once.
You can create views (tabs) that contain other groups.
Notice in the example below that in order to refer to the group "Living Room", you use group.living_room (lowercase and spaces replaced with underscores).
# Example configuration.yaml entry that shows two groups, referred to in a view group (tab)
Living Room:
entities:
- light.light_family_1
- binary_sensor.motion_living
Bedroom: light.light_bedroom, switch.sleeping
Rooms:
view: yes
name: Rooms
entities:
- group.living_room
- group.bedroom
