The parameters are the Indigo Device object IDs of the devices to be grouped. **Note if you have the device dialog UI open, it will not dynamically update, and you shouldn’t call either method if the device factory UI is open.** |

| indigo.device.groupWithDevice(dev, someOtherDev) # group dev with another device | |

| For example, if you want to group devices 123 and 456, you would use ''//indigo.device.groupWithDevice(123, 456)//''. There is no message printed to the events log if the devices grouped together successfully. If you want to add device 789 to the group, you would use ''//indigo.device.groupWithDevice(456, 789)//''. This is a great way to bring together different devices that have a common thread, but bear in mind that it's best not to try to group too many devices together. | ^ Command Syntax Examples ^ |
