Brings back group.all_* for desired domains (light, device_tracker, etc)

Bring Back group.all_x

Home Assistant release 0.104 removed the automatically generated entity groups (group.all_*) 😢

If like me, you used group.all_x for your automation, this appdaemon app lets you bring back the generated entity groups you need.

Installing

Install via HACS. Alternatively, place the apps folder and its contents in your appdaemon folder.

Make sure group: is included in your configuration.yaml even if you have no manually specified groups.

Configuration

Variable	Type	Required	Default	Description
module	string	TRUE		Set to bbgax
class	string	TRUE		Set to group_all_x
domains	list	TRUE		List of device groups you want to generate. Valid list options are: automation, cover, device_tracker, fan, light, lock, plant, remote, script, switch, vacuum, calendar, remember_the_milk_account, person

Example Usage

any_name_you_wish:
  module: bbgax
  class: group_all_x
  domains: 
    - device_tracker
    - light
    - switch

This example config will create group.all_devices, group.all_lights and group.all_switches in Home Assistant as shown below.

bring-back-group.all_x's Issues

Invalid options (module and class)

That is not working for me. "module" and "class" are invalid options.

Invalid config for [group]: [module] is an invalid option for [group]

Hi,

I'm trying to have bbgax working but it keeps saying that I have a problem in my config :
I installed bbgax via hacs, here is my appdaemon folder

My configuration.yaml is configured like this :
group: !include groups.yaml

and this is what I put on the top of my groups.yaml

any_name_you_wish:
  module: bbgax
  class: group_all_x
  domains: 
    - device_tracker
    - light
    - switch

but HA says that I have a problem with my config :
Invalid config for [group]: [module] is an invalid option for [group]. Check: group->group->any_name_you_wish->module. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 25).

Did I put my config in the wrong yaml?
