How to group and sort your Roku Smart Home devices
After your Roku® Smart Home devices are connected, you can use the Roku Smart Home mobile app to group together multiple devices of the same type and control and adjust them all at once. Choose to create a device group of your smart cameras and view all their live streams on a single screen or group your smart bulbs and light strips in a single room and adjust brightness and color temperature before turning on music sync to the beat of your favorite tunes.
Can I add any Roku Smart Home device to a group?
Device groups can only contain a specific type of Roku Smart Home device as described below.
- Camera group: Indoor and outdoor smart cameras
- Entry sensor group: Roku Entry Sensors
- Motion sensor group: Roku Motion Sensors
- Lighting group: Smart bulbs and light strips
- Indoor Plug group: Indoor smart plugs
- Outdoor Plug group: Outdoor smart plugs
As an example, you can group an indoor camera with a floodlight camera, but you cannot group an indoor camera with a smart bulb or light strip. Smart home video doorbells cannot be added to any device group.
How to create a group
Launch the Roku Smart Home mobile app for iOS® and Android™ and use the steps below to create a device group from the Home 
screen.

from the navigation bar - Select Add device group
- Select the type of group to create
