So, groups are what are called for here, it seems.
And it seems that Home Assistant will have already have some courtesy of Hue. Generally - I want the config to be defined in HA, not in the Hue. I have no particular problem with the Hue generally, but I don't want to build automation on top of a platform which I have such limited control over - I.e. can't see the source, can't backup the config, don't have assured access to APIs, have to rely on support that's fundamentally unaccountable to me.
