Using Device Groups
Overview
Groups are a convenient way to view related devices at a glance. For example, you can create a group to view the devices in your Family Room or to quickly see the status of all sensors associated with exterior doors and windows. Groups are especially convenient when used with the American Standard® Home mobile app to keep the most frequently used items grouped together at the top of the device list.
NOTE: At this time, groups are for viewing device status. It is not yet possible to control a group or to add a group to an Automation trigger or action.
