Organise by Room

[jtenniswood]

Awesome job with the little app, I really love it.
Would it be possible to organise devices by room rather than type.
For example I am in my office, and would like to just have control over the lights in this room, rather than all lights in all rooms as a list.
I suspect I could hack this using groups, but wonder if it could be done for all users?

Thanks for the suggestion, groups would be the answer for now but I'll certainly think about what I can do with this in a future version.

Awesome. Is is possible to make HA sub groups today (I would like to be able to make submenus per room)

[andrew-codechimp]

It is, you would have to manually create a group for each room in HA's groups.yaml, then within HA Menu set each of these room groups as sub menus. The Readme here has the full details https://github.com/codechimp-org/ha-menu#readme

Can submenus be nested?

> Room 1
  > Lights
    - Light A
    - Light B 
  > Scenes
    - Scene A
    - Scene B
> Room 2
  > Lights
    - Light C
    - Light D
  > Gadgets
    - Gadget A
    - Gadget B

No, sorry nesting isn't possible.

No, sorry nesting isn't possible.

Maybe a feature request, then? :-)

Anyways, awesome helper app! Thanks a lot!

With Home Assistant now calling these legacy groups and not getting much love and some changes Apple are heading in I'm not sure whether this application has a long term future.
Not abandoning yet but it's not getting my focus these days.

Relatable. I will be happy to use it while it lasts.
