I found this new great feature and added to my integration. A couple of questions:
1. There’s no API for sending actions to the Group, do I need to send actions separately to each device in the Group?
2. There’s no API to get the Group status? The websocket does notify when the status changes, but without the status change I can’t request the current state?

Hmmm…? No Replies? No Replies?

No, but you do need to send to every _shard_ of the Group. If the Group spans two Bridges and three Smart by Bond devices, then you’d have to send 5 requests. The Bridges take care of fanning out the request to the devices on those Bridges, but for multiple Bridges and for SBB, the client needs to do the fan out to each IP address.

Ok,
1. Group actions do work, thank you.
2. Still, There’s no API to get the Group status? The websocket does notify when the status changes, but without the status change I can’t request the current group state?
3. Small mistake in the docs:

1. Please see `groups/{}/state`: [Bond Local API](http://docs-local.appbond.com/#tag/Group-State)
