I joined the forum specifically to respond to this thread and ask if it would be possible to add group control for HEOS.

There are commands in Roomie that look like they correspond to the group commands in the HEOS API. The ".GROUP SET" command could be used but there's no way to get the numbers of the devices you want to add. I think that would come from the ".GROUP INFO" command but I don't think there's a way in Roomie to parse the response of that command and use it.
