WebCoRE is overkill for this scenario, but lays the groundwork for more complex automations.
Combine two lights to one switch install#
Install and use WebCoRE and any switch or virtual switch as a trigger.
Install and use the Trend Setter SmartApp: Trend Setter Still, you can just tap it twice to resync the state. This is a bit harder because if lights in the group are turned on without the virtual switch being used, it will not indicate the correct state. See #3, but add a Virtual Switch instance as the trigger. Now you can toggle all those lights from the “trigger” Switch. The simplest case is to use one of the real lights in your group as the “trigger” to control the rest. I would like to install an in-wall timer that controls both outdoor light sets at the same time. The other 2 switches are two separate outdoor light fixtures. It can use any Switch to trigger any set of lights. One switch is for an indoor light switch ( 3 wire, as there are 2 on the same line). Use the Smart Lighting SmartApp (Automation / Marketplace).
This is necessary because SmartThings does not expose Scenes to ActionTiles (darnit!!! ). If you are using a single switch, it is best to use a separate switch for each room. Create a Routine for each Scene that does nothing but Activate the Scene. As you can see, if you need more lights added on to the same circuit, you just have to connect them parallel to the first light. For example, if you have two switches, one on each side of the room, and you want to turn off the lights in one room and on the other, you can use the combination switches to do it. Routines can only dim in 10% increments, but aren’t bad.Ĭreate various Scenes (at least one for on and off) setting the dim level and colors of your Lights. Here are some ways to do this … I can’t say which is the simplest or most appropriate for your level of experience and needs but they are listed roughly from simplest to most complex…Ĭreate an “on” Routine and an “off” Routine and add these two Routine Tiles to any ActionTiles panels.
Combine two lights to one switch how to#
One of our support Forum relevant Topics for this is: Grouping lights for off/on commands / ActionTiles Forum / AT Support & Ideas and Ĭombining multiple switches (lights, etc.) into one Virtual Switch or a single Routine, or a Scene called by a Routine, or triggered by one real Switch is a relatively common SmartThings function, not specifically limited to ActionTiles! Learning how to group lights using SmartThings tools is helpful to everyone, not just ActionTiles customers!!! It’s a reasonable request, but one of hundreds of desired features. Unlike other front-end Apps like Amazon Alexa, we haven’t put “light grouping” or “scenes” as a feature into our front-end… yet.
I just can’t figure out how to combine multiple smart bulbs into one tile for on/off operation.
