Google Home Routines with groups

[RichardHH]

Heya!

I grouped some smart bulbs and switches, like "living room", "dining room" etc.
Looks like i cannot use groups within actions/routines to switch a room on and off ?

Seriously?

Tnx

Hi RichardHH,

Thanks for reaching out. Are the smart bulbs and switches in the same group? Are you able to control the group via voice command? Try the action "Add your own," then put the command to turn off and on the group, and observe if it works.

Keep me posted.

Regards,

Juni

Hi Juni,

tnx for the reply, but thats not the issue. Yes, i can control the groups (Lamps and Switches) via Voice by saying  (eg.) "turn off kitchen" - but i was asking for a native function, like Alexa has, like Tusy/SmartLife has.

It's a group-control function like:

In Google Home, Automatisation, "Smart Home Geräte einstellen" (i am german) -> there should be a group list as well that i can control (On/Off).

Can you suggest that to the dev team?

Tnx!
