Good Day
I was curious if the Philips Hue Room/Group issue of the Room/Group not showing ON in Hubitat unless all lites are ON in the group will ever be resolved.
Looking at other threads it appears that it has been an issue for a while.
It would save building a redundant group in Hubitat.
Thanx.
The only issue I remember seeing in the past is that group states don't update on their own (at all) unless at least one bulb is added to the hub, likely something to do with it forgetting to schedule polling in that case.
Otherwise, I don't know the default integration behavior as I ended up writing my own, but the Hue API exposes two related attributes for groups (rooms/zones), "any on?" or "all on?". I don't know which Hubitat choice, but regardless of which they to use to expose as the state of the group, it was just an aribrary design choice more than a bug per se. If it does not meet your needs but you do have the indivdual bulbs on the hub, you may have better luck doing as you suggest and combining them in whatever way makes sense to you (but the Hue group is likely to behave better--it uses Zigbee group broadcasting from the Hue Bridge, so fewer commands and less traffic all around, likely correlating with higher reliability).
