Managing Groups of Feeds programmatically Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

I have multiple particle photons, each logging multiple feeds to AIO and I want to organize them into groups programmatically.
I have working code that gets the 'deviceName' from the particle cloud at runtime, and creates multiple feeds named like: deviceNfeedM (eg: device1feed1, device1Feed2 ....)
This works great, but all feeds go by default under a group named by my username. I would like the feeds from each device to go to a group based on the particular deviceName.
The following works to create (if necessary) or append to 4 different feeds "deviceA1, deviceA2 ...";

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE

void loop()
{
    i = (i+1) % 16;
    int feed = i%4;
    if (init) {
        strcpy(tmp,deviceName);
        testFeedx  = AIOClient.getFeed( strcat(tmp,String(feed) ) );
        testFeedx.send( String( i ) );
    }
    delay(4000);
}

At the website, I can "Create a new group" (say "deviceA") and then manually "add feed to group". The new key is like: "deviceA.deviceA1"
I tried something like:
testFeedx = AIOClient.getFeed( "deviceA.deviceA1" );
But no luck.

How do I do create and manipulate groups programmatically?

Hi, which library are you using on the Particle to communicate with Adafruit IO?

[tgmcnaughton]

I'm using the particle web IDE (not desktop) - with:

Adafruit_IO_Particle ver 1.0.1

(it says - "version locked at 1.0.1").

It doesn't look like the library has group functionality, only feed functionality:

The Adafruit IO Arduino library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_IO_Arduino/) is more feature-complete and has groups functionality.
