The `group` platform can create a fan that combines several fan entities into one.
To enable `Fan Groups` in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
fan:
- platform: group
entities:
- fan.lanai_west
- fan.lanai_south
- fan.lanai_east
```
{% configuration %}
entities:
description: List of all fan entities you want to control.
required: true
type: [string, list]
name:
description: Name to use in the frontend.
required: false
type: string
default: "Fan Group"
unique_id:
description: An ID that uniquely identifies this fan group. If two fans have the same unique ID, Home Assistant will raise an error.
required: false
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
## Functionality
It works best if you group fans with the same supported features together (like support for `percentage`/`direction`/`oscillation`), but is not limited to it. In case you have bundled fans with different features together, the controls will only affect those fans that support the actions.
