AFAICT, LiFX groups are only exposed to their cloud http API, and not the local API that the Hubitat integration uses.
That being said, Iāve seen no popcorning while controlling multiple LiFX bulbs together in a Hubitat group.

As others have documented, the "clean" version of their bulb works great with the (built-in) LIFX Color driver. Is there a mechanism to turn on the clean mode via a color temperature selection, or is that ultimately something awaiting possible future development or a community driver? [That said, is the HEV mode even available via their LAN protocol?]
Groups is exposed via the LAN api.. We are not currently using them in the built-in drivers..

I do plan to integrate HEV and nightvision.. Just didnāt make it in the first release.

It sounds like you have the version of the switch that I havenāt been able to test yet..
These are just visual constructs for organization, ultimately individual messages are sent to each bulb. Therefore rebuilding these associations in Hubitat"s Groups and Scenes app would mirror most of this functionality (more on this at the end).
Effects such as waveforms are a special packet, which could be added in a community driver (or future enhancement).
For strips, you can capture any desired multizone gradients, etc into a Hubitat scene using the child devices, as @bcopeland alluded above. Some of the more complex effects, where the bulb cycles continually through many colors, are achieved by continuously sending new packets to the bulb - certainly achievable using rule machine, but it isn't a simple effect with a single defined packet.

Yes.. and the class is there already:

As well as strips MultiZoneEffects:

Etc..
Yes, perhaps. I purchased 22 over a year ago so eprhaps updating their firmware might help? Also when I access "Driver Code" I don't see a switch driver, should I?
You won't.. It's built-in

How many relays are in the switch you have?

Ok.. Yea.. I only have a driver written for the single relay at the moment..
OK. I didn't know there was a single button/relay version. The 4 gang one is a beast! It has an ESP32 for the Wi-Fi functions and another micro (ATtiny) that handles the LEDs, relays and buttons. I suspect it will be a challenge to write a driver, but it would be great to have 
Do you see it as a possibility?

Nah.. Wonāt be a problem at all.. It uses the same commands as the single.. I just need to get one to be able to test on it..
Lifx strip is just going red for me. Using dimmer motion lighting. Also via capture scene.
Seems to change it to red when it changes the level.
Can you post a screenshot of the device pageās current states?

It occurs on both lifx strip as device type and lifx color
Yep.. Thatās red.. Now what happens if you set color or color temperature to something else?
You will want to change the driver to LIFX Strip
