Hello,

I am writing a binding for our products, that have a lot of configuration parameter (from 15 for some devices to 587 for the currently most complex device). That is why I want to group them.
In the documentation is an example of a "parameter-group", but how could I specify which parameter is in which group?
In the table with the property documentation is the property "group", that I thougt is to define to which group a parameter should belong to, but if I use it, the validation with the xsd, used in the examples, failed.

Could someone please provide an example of the usage of the "parameter-group" with several parameter that belongs to the group in a valid xml for the xsd.

You can set the groupName element in the XML for each parameter. This sets the group to which the parameter belongs.

The doc is wrong - this changed names a couple of times during development and the doc is out of date so I'll update it tonight...

Sorry - it's also an attribute, not an element...

		<parameter name="username" type="text" groupName="user">
			<context>password</context>
			<label>Username</label>
			<description>Name of a registered hue bridge user, that allows to access the API.
			</description>
		</parameter>
