EasyTrigger not working for group conditions

[benrjunk]

Hi,

I tried generating a set of group conditions that include EasyTrigger.

No matter which EasyTrigger option I select, it won't let me select any device.

Hoping you can provide some input/troubleshooting.

Thanks,

Ben

Group conditions don't work with plugins, it's a known HS3 bug.
Sorry, nothing I can do here.

Easy Trigger and other plug-in conditions do not work as group conditions. It is a limitation of HomeSeer, not with the plug-ins. IMO Group Conditions are still somewhat broken and have been since I first started with HomeSeer in 2014. I find them to be of little practical use. While they can save time, in practice there are usually a vanishingly small number of events that share enough common conditions as to make Group Conditions of any real value. I generally avoid them, instead just putting individual Conditions in each evento.

In the scheme of things it only takes a few seconds to add a Condition to an Event and once created, most events never need be revisited. Inasmuch as a condition honoring Group Conditions needs to be added to every Event only 2 or more Group Conditions saves ant steps. Additionally, I find it easier to follow the logic in my events when it is all contained within the Event.
