Groups allow the user to combine multiple entities into one. A group can be promoted to a view by setting the view option to yes. This will make the group available as a new tab in the frontend.
Check the Set State 
page from the Developer Tools and browse the Current entities: listing for all available entities.
By default, every group appears in the HOME tab. If you name a group default_view it will REPLACE the contents of the HOME tab so you can customize it as you wish.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
group:
default_view:
view: yes
entities:
- group.awesome_people
- group.climate
kitchen:
name: Kitchen
entities:
- switch.kitchen_pin_3
upstairs:
name: Kids
icon: mdi:account-multiple
view: yes
entities:
- input_boolean.notify_home
- camera.demo_camera
- device_tracker.demo_paulus
- group.garden
Configuration variables:
- view (Optional): If yes then the entry will be shown as a view (tab).
- name (Optional): Name of the group.
- icon (Optional): If the group is a view, this icon will show at the top in the frontend instead of the name. If it's not a view, then the icon shows when this group is used in another group.
- control (Optional): If hidden then the group switch will be hidden.
- entities (Required): array or comma delimited string, list of entities to group.
Example of groups shown as views in the frontend.
If all entities in a group are switches or lights then Home Assistant adds a switch at the top of the card that turns them all on/off at once. If you want to hide this switch, set control to hidden.
You can create views (tabs) that contain other groups.
Notice in the example below that in order to refer to the group "Living Room", you use group.living_room (lowercase and spaces replaced with underscores).
# Example configuration.yaml entry that shows two groups, referred to in a view group (tab)
Living Room:
entities:
- light.light_family_1
- binary_sensor.motion_living
Bedroom: light.light_bedroom, switch.sleeping
Rooms:
view: yes
name: Rooms
entities:
- group.living_room
- group.bedroom
