Group Management

A device group includes devices of the same type and gathers a series of devices. Wi-Fi and Zigbee devices can be grouped in most cases. Tuya provides the capabilities to implement device group management. For example, create, rename, manage, or dismiss a group, and manage or control multiple devices in the same group.

Create a Wi-Fi group

Query devices available to create a group

API description

TuyaHomeSdk.newHomeInstance(homeId).queryDeviceListToAddGroup(groupId, productId,
        new ITuyaResultCallback<List<GroupDeviceBean>>() {

Query group details

Before this call, you must call getHomeDetail() or getHomeLocalCache() to initialize a home. Then, group details can be queried.

// Returns a list of devices in the group.
TuyaHomeSdk.getDataInstance().getGroupDeviceList(long groupId);
