Groups allow the user to combine multiple entities into one.
Check the **Set State** page from the **Developer Tools** and browse the **Current entities:** listing for all available entities.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
group:
information:
- sensor.time
living_room:
- binary_sensor.tv
- sensor.living_room_temperature
kitchen:
- switch.kitchen_pin_3
- sensor.oven_temperature
```
If all entities are switches or lights they can be controlled as one with a switch at the top of the card. Grouped states should share the same type of states (ON/OFF or HOME/NOT_HOME).
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
group:
living_room:
- light.bowl
- light.ceiling
- light.tv_back_light
children:
- device_tracker.child_1
- device_tracker.child_2
```
