5. **Enter Group Addresses:**

   * After selecting the device type, the columns for the group addresses available for this device will appear.
   * In the individual fields, you can now add your desired group addresses.
   * It is not necessary to fill in all states or values for the desired device to appear in the app/Visio. You can also enter only individual group addresses (e.g., ON/OFF), and only this function will be available in the app/Visio.
   * Note that the correct data types for the desired group addresses must be set in the ETS. If they have an incorrect DPT rate, it will be transferred to your nomos Controller, and the function of this group address may not work correctly.
