The Variable Group Add Variable action adds a device variable to an existing variable group.
The variable group used in the Variable Group Add Variable action must have previously been defined. A variable group is a collection of variables that are logically related and can be monitored collectively.
A Variable Group event type trigger is used to monitor the variables in a variable group. Starting the variable group will cause the variables to be monitored. When the value of any variable within the group changes, the trigger will execute.
