+## 0.7.3 Home Assistant climate groups
+
+- Added climate groups to the restricted Home Assistant API.
+- Each configured group is exposed as its own Home Assistant device with **Power**, **Thermostat mode**, **Work profile** and **Control plan** entities.
+- Group mode options are **Global**, **Cooling** and **Heating**; Global means the member zones inherit the controller-wide Heating/Cooling selection.
+- Group profile options are **Auto schedule**, **Comfort**, **Sleep** and **Away**.
+- The group control-plan sensor reports member zones, online unit count, current average temperature, demand count and upcoming member schedule events.
+- Mixed member modes/profiles are reported without inventing a false common value; choosing a group option normalizes all member zones through the existing group-control engine.
+- Group commands use the restricted Home Assistant access token and the dedicated `/api/integrations/home-assistant/groups/*` endpoints.
+- After adding/removing/renaming groups, reload the GREE Controller integration in Home Assistant so its entity/device registry is rebuilt.
