# Group Object

Use groups to organize outlets or inputs from single or multiple PDUs. Outlet groups allow batch outlet switching and inlet groups allow energy metrics aggregation.

### Outlet Group Object

Group together outlets to issue batch commands

```json
{
  "name": "Lab Bench Outlet Group",
  "groupType": "outlets",
  "items": [
    "1-1928367", 
    "2-1928367", 
    "3-1928367", 
    "4-1928367", 
    "2-1922368"
    ]
}
```

| Key           | Type     | Description                                   |

| **groupType** | *string* | Either `outlets` or `inlets`                  |
| **items**     | *array*  | List of outlet ID strings or device ID string |

### Inlet Group Object

Group together inlets to aggregate energy metrics

```json
{
  "name": "Lab Bench Inlet Group",
  "groupType": "outlets",
  "items": [
    "1-1928367", 
    "2-1928367", 
    "3-1928367",
