Room status not updated?

[widert]

I have some rooms defined in the HUE app that contains several lights e.g "Gjestebad".

When one the lights in "Gjestebad" is on then the Hue app shows "Gjestebad" as on.

However, in HS4, then the room "Gjestebad" is showing as "off"

It should be "on"?

The plugin considers one light not as being the whole group. The group device is set to On or a dim level when all lights are on.

Hmm, I guess that is opposite of the Phillips Hue app then which shows all of the lights as on when one light is on... Is it possible to change to the opposite?

The plugin is doing the group control based on all lights since the plugin came out for HS3. I am sure many users are used to the group device going on when all lights are on.
I won't change it as too many users are using the group functionality the way it is. You are the first one even mentioning this

What are your reasons to want to use it the other way around?

You might find help in using the JowiHue Event conditions for "If any light in {group} is on" and "If any light in {group} is off"?
If you want to know if inside a group a light is on, you can use these conditions and trigger actions on it?

Yes, that seems like a good approach, thank you!

Seems like I'm not getting the proper status for the "All lights" device? All ligths are switched off, but it still says "On"?

The all lights group is a placeholder group that probably will not be updated. I do not know which gateway you are using, Philips Hue bridge or deCONZ?
Be aware of this group, as it includes all lights, plugs and curtain devices. Switching this group can have unexpected results.
It is better to have you own version of an all lights group, where you can be certain only lights are included. This will also function normal.

On deconz the "All lights" group is not updated at all and on Philips hue bridges, there is are updates possible, but last time I checked this, it is a bit random action.
