The issues @dmulcahey brought up in #47 regarding platforms are interesting corner cases that crop up when Zigbee functionality doesn't translate directly to Home Assistant platforms (e.g. a light and a switch both have
OnOff
clusters and can form a Zigbee group).One way we can work around this is by turning groups into actual devices: this would allow automations to "turn on" the group device as a whole and the primary entity would be controlled, regardless of its platform. It would also allow the primary entity to switch platforms depending on group composition, which would open up the possibility of heterogeneous groups (1 fan, 1 light, 1 switch) or single-device groups.
Thoughts?
