Create action from trigger

Hi all,

at the moment I have a lot of triggers which contain a lot of actions.

For example:

Trigger (Good Night) on variable change --> conditions (if any) --> list of actions (action1, action2 and so on).

I have started to clean up and do something like this:

Trigger (Good Night) on variable change --> conditions (if any) --> "Good Night Action" (which actually contains the previous action1, action2) and so on).

But, as you can understand, this is a manual work which can leads to error hard to identify.
Wouldn't be possible to create an action group from those actions?

Thanks
Marco

If you're really brave, you could edit the Indigo XML file and copy those sections around.

Make a backup first...

Re: Create action from trigger

Id also like to have option of copying trigger actions to action group. Now that I'm starting to use z-wave, I want to u se action groups more since insteon scenes will not cover all my devices now. Plus, I think having most of the login in one place will make it easier to maintain.

Re: Create action from trigger

That one is already on the feature request list, but good suggestion.
