Use a scene?
Routines from the Classic app have been replaced by a combination of scenes and automations. So here’s a quick rundown of what makes them run.
1. Widgets
In the Classic app, you could show Routines as widgets. In the new V3 app, it’s Scenes. Up to 8 of them.
To select which scenes have widgets,
tap on the three horizontal line icon in the upper left.
Tap on the gear icon
Tap on “Widget” to access widget settings”
Now select/deselect scenes
Add widgets per usual for your phone/tablet

2. Watches
At the time of this writing, there was no Apple watch app and only some Samsung models had one. Instead, try IFTTT. (Note however that as of October 2020, you can only have three free applets with Ifttt. Otherwise you will have to pay a monthly fee.)

It’s not as good as a group because you have to have one scene for on and one scene for off but you can reuse the scenes in multiple time schedules or other triggers if that helps any.
And, yes, it’s weird that the new app doesn’t have group operations.
