Action Groups
At the moment, editing of action groups is fairly limited and you can't actually create new action groups (aside from duplicating an existing group). We will eventually add this functionality but so far demand has made it a lower-priority item.
Class Properties
| Property | Type | Writable | Description |
description | string | Yes | description of the action group |
folderId | integer | No | unique ID of the folder this action group is in |
id | integer | No | a unique id of the action group, assigned on creation by IndigoServer |
name | string | Yes | the unique name of the action group - no two action groups can have the same name |
remoteDisplay | boolean | No | True if this action group is shown in remote clients, False otherwise |
sharedProps | dictionary | No | API v2.3 : an indigo.Dict() representing the name/value pairs that are shared by all plugins. This is the property dictionary that you can edit via the Global Properties plugin, and your plugin may manage properties in this dictionary as well to add metadata to devices that your plugin can use for other purposes. Use ag.replaceSharedPropsOnServer() to update them (as with pluginProps, you should get copy first, update the copy, then set them back to that copy so as to not accidentally remove some other plugin's props). |
