How can I add multiple entities (for example lights) inside 1 room? #
To add multiple entities inside a room you need to create an Home Assistant group. So for example if you have 5 lights in your living room, you will need to create a group with these 5 lights inside. Then you can use that group inside the room.
Don’t confuse HA group with HA light groups, those 2 are different!
- Light groups are meant for multiple lights in a single fixture, this gives a new light entity.
- Groups are meant for grouping multiple (light) entities, this gives a group entity.
