I drawed them manually with a mind mapping tool (xmind), but if you write a script that visualises groups i am very interested
Ok Thanks.
I will start and keep you updated.
Ok I got some time today and came up with this short python script. group_graph.pdf (4.5 KB)
(It is really a python script but I had to rename it :-()
You of course need python (i tested with version 2) and maybe this additional package
- pip install graphviz
then just put it into the items folder and let it run.
It will create a pdf file with the dependencies.
There are some config options in the script itseld
- the engine that is used (default is dot)
- some colors you can set to your groups.
It does not look as nice as your mindmap, but it gives me a good overview about my group dependencies.

Great. I will give it a try when i am back from my business trip
I really liked your post. That way I could easily rearrange all my groups. I actually put them into a seperate .items file:

That way I have a really ncie overview. Now here comes my question:
How do structure your group switches, AVG,SUM and all those. I am trying to get some Temperature averages now and I realized that I have to pretty much start over to group my items.
I i see it right you have a mixture between location and function. Could you describe waht exactly you like to achive?
If you like to have the avaerage temperature from your firstfloor. There is a temperature gourp that cloud be modified with an AVG. The basic function to group things togehter is not changed.
If you like to have the same function across all rooms thats a different story.
Below you will find my current appraoch

As you can see the location approach is very strict and the context approach not so much. Each of my thingy has its own group that is assigned one or mor other groups
