Groups
ZigBee groups are suitable for central functions or for bulk operations. For example, you can turn on/off all dimmers or open/close all blinds by sending a single telegram. You can control several devices at the same time and not overload the ZigBee network.
ZigBee groups can be composed of devices with the same functionality. Each device in the group remembers that it is part of the group and will only receive telegrams for its group.
Only one group telegram is always sent to all ZigBee devices in the network. All devices will read the telegram. Only the devices that belong to the group will receive the telegram and perform the required operation.
To create a group, follow these steps:
-
Click Add group and fill in the form (group ID, name, mode).
-
Click Save and configureand fill in the form (name, location, assign group object to the control command).
-
Click Save and add devices > select the devices you want to add to your group.
-
Click Add to group and Close.
Your new group of devices appears in the list of groups.
You can further modify each group later, change its parameters, or delete it.
