Can you dim a group of GE Link light bulbs?

@theamzngq try using the Better Virtual Dimmer as a virtual switch to be the master and put both GE Links as slaves.

@DITPL and @theamzngq you may want to check out the device type in this thread for the GE Links. It built on the Wackware version to add additional status updating. You can use them with Pollster to get frequent status updates. Also adds transition time into dim level and on/off.

It won’t solve the issue of one bulb being missed. I still haven’t found a good solution for that.

Updated : GE Link Bulbs - FINALLY getting ON status after manually turning on!

There’s been a few updates to this thread, so please make sure to keep up with the latest posts at the bottom! Sorry for starting another thread on these bulbs, but this warrants a new thread (I think). This thread provides the device type for the GE Link Bulb modified by community members specifically to allow ST to receive the bulb’s “ON” status when it’s manually turned on by a switch - not the app. Thank you to this community for all the help, especially @Sticks18 for the code snippet that did the trick. This was a shortcoming to address between ST and the bulb, and this community did it. The device type code below works for the several bulbs I have. Now whenever someone in my house turns on a lamp with one of these bulbs ST’s app correctly shows the status of the bulb - yea! ht…
