Unable to select bridge group for quick settings tiles

Summary: in previous versions of Hue Essentials the quick settings tile can be configured to do something to ALL the lights connected to a bridge, even if not inside a room/group. Now, the tile configuration page does not permit that - it no longer has a “Bridge” option under Room/group. only the configured rooms.

Reproduce example #1:

  1. go into any quick tile configuration page

  2. select “Switch on”

  3. open dropdown for “Select room/group”

expected behaviour: there should be a way to select all lights on the bridge.

actual behaviour: only one of the rooms can be selected

Reproduce example #2:

  1. go into any quick tile configuration page

  2. select “Activate Scene”

  3. open dropdown for “Select room/group”

expected behaviour: there should be a way to select scenes not associated to a room. There used to be a “Bridge” list item for this purpose, which will then populate the next dropdown with available scenes.

actual behaviour: only rooms can be selected. which means that it is impossible to select scenes not associated with a room.

Thank you for all your information. It is very helpful. You are right that a group for all lights is missing, I will look into it.
