</div>Basically what you could use sets for that. I've updated the documentation[1]<br>
on sets to make more sense (thats partly the reason for my late reply). I<br>
would add tags to those devices[2] you would like to group and then use a set<br>
to control those devices using the "tag" set function.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I couldn't find the function where i can create a set out of the tags. Or did I understand this wrong.</div><div>will you also add tags to soap?</div>

</div>The function id is returned in the Web-API call apartment/getStructure. There<br>
is no public table that I could give to you but I'll ask around if we can<br>
publish one.<br>
<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div>also a possibility for the soap interface?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div class="im">

<br>
</div>There are 63 group-bits that can be set on a device. The first 10 bits are<br>
reserved for default groups but the others are freely settable. How you use<br>
those groups is basically up to you. A Christoph gave you a more in-depth<br>
explanation in his email.<br>
I'd encourage the use of sets though to let the dSS handle the grouping.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>ok, i understood this now. thanks a lot</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
