# Create and Use Light Groups

The lighting group feature allows users to group lights and control them collectively, including power on/off, brightness, color temperature, and color.

## What You Should Know

1. Supported devices and firmware:

| **Supported Device** | **Required Firmware** |
| --- | --- |
| HyPanel Pro (PG71) | 71.1.39.44 and later |
| HyPanel Ultra (PH81) | 281.1.39.29 and later |
| HyPanel Supreme (PHX1) | 1001.1.39.27 and later |
| HyPanel (PS51) | 51.1.39.23 and later |
| HyPanel V2 (PS51(V2)) | 251.1.39.7 and later |
| HyPanel Plus (PS52) | 52.1.39.11 and later |
| HyPanel KeyPlus (KS53) | 53.1.39.10 and later |

1. Supported devices for grouping: Grouping is supported only for lights and relay switches (commonly used to connect traditional lights).

1. Group control rules:

- If all devices share the same capability (e.g., RGB), that capability is available to the group.
- If devices have different capabilities, only the shared capabilities are shown. For example, grouping a switch light with a dimmable light will only show the switch function.

## Configuration

1. Open a browser, enter the Home Center device’s IP address, and log in using the default credentials (admin/admin).
