Within a group, you can combine different brands or models of similar devices. However, devices without the required features will not respond to specific commands.

To create a group of devices in the Enki app, follow these steps:

01 - Click the "+" button on the right side of the screen.

02 - Choose "Create a group" from the menu.

03 - In the "Create a group" menu, select the type of device to group:

• Bulbs, plugs, lighting fixtures.
• Garages, gates, shutters.
• Fans.

04 - After choosing the device type, check those you want to group.

• : Device not selected, not included in the group nor controllable via it.
• : Device selected, included and controllable within the group.

05 - Click "Next".

06 - Choose whether devices in the group should be hidden in the "Home" menu. This option can be changed later.

• Hide group devices: The group appears on the home screen, but individual devices do not, for clarity.
• Keep devices visible: Devices and group remain visible for quick access, grouped or individual.
