Grouping zones (self.homeassistant)

Is there any way to group zones together? I would like to define zones that are not necessarily circular in shape. I can accomplish what I want by overlapping several of them, but I really want to group them together and treat them as one zone. Is this possible?

I suppose I could probably script up a template trigger...

~~Can you elaborate on what you mean? Circular?~~

Nvm, you're talking about the map. A zone is just a logical group, like areas. If you want an automation that runs on bot zones, just make both zones the target. Otherwise just use areas and not zones and group your devices like that, or with a group of devices.

You don't get the choice to use more than one zone as your official "home" zone though, do you?

It's just an organizational name. You don't even need to actually use zones at all I don't think. Zones are basically used if you have more than one setup across many geographic locations.

Can you explain a bit more about what you're trying to accomplish?
