        ### This Actor plugin can be used to group up to 8 actors into on actor
        
        ## Group multiple actors into one actor
        - This plugin allows to group up to 8 actors into one actor
        - If the Grouped Actor is switched on, all actors that belong to the group will be switched on
        - If the power is changed for the grouped actor, all actors that belong to the group will be set to the same power
        
        ### Installation:
        
        You can install it directly via pypi.org:
