The group light platform lets you combine multiple lights into one entity. All child lights of a light group can still be used as usual, but controlling the state of the grouped light will forward the command to each child light.
|
|
|
|
To enable this platform in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
light:
|
|
- platform: group
|
|
name: Kitchen Lights
|
|
entities:
|
|
- light.kitchen_ceiling_lights
|
|
- light.kitchen_under_cabinet_lights
|
|
- light.kitchen_spot_lights
|
|
- light.pendant_lights
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
name:
|
|
description: The name of the light group. Defaults to "Light Group".
|
|
required: false
|
|
type: string
|
|
entities:
|
|
description: A list of entities to be included in the light group.
|
|
required: true
|
|
type: string list
|
|
{% endconfiguration %}

The supported features of all lights will be added together. For example, if you have one RGB light in a group of otherwise brightness-only lights, the light group will be shown with a color picker.

|
## {% linkable_title Script Example %}
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of a script using the above light group.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
script:
|
|
turn_on_kitchen_lights:
|
|
alias: Kitchen lights on
|
|
sequence:
|
|
service: light.turn_on
|
|
data:
|
|
entity_id: light.kitchen_lights
|
|
brightness: 100
|
|
```
