Create and configure a special group
- Last UpdatedDec 04, 2023

You can create two different variables: one set to Read (usually a Var) and one set to Write (usually a Command).
This is to avoid the creation of loops between reading and setting, especially when using the iOS app.
In some cases, such as with sbool parameters, there is no explicit need to have different variables, but the practice can still be followed.
