Hello. Is there a feature on the roadmap to allow control of a group of lights? This is really a long time coming. I have connected Smartthings to Google Home for this feature alone.
I want direct control of a group of bulbs so I can set brightness and / or color as I please.
I’d love to hear there is a solution to this now but I’ll take a roadmap item for it.
I don’t see lighting groups yet on the Android version for the new app yet. Everything else in the list of Add options is there, so hopefully we Android users will see this rolled out to us soon.
What’s interesting I was playing around in the IDE the other night and was able to create a “lighting group device” under devices but wasn’t able to figure out how to add my bulbs to it. If you then go into the new app and click on the device the color wheel picker shows up in the settings.
Wow I feel quite stupid for spending way to long trying to figure this out… good to know it’s still not possible.
Does something like SharpTools or ActionTiles let you accomplish this? I’m new to SmartThings and will end up using one of them but still deciding. Changing multiple bulbs at once would definitely be the thing that makes one win over the other.
Nice, thank you.
I just test it and color picker for group colorful lights works.
But for color temperature lights, I don’t see white spectrum bar, only dimm bar.
Do you have the same problem or is just me?
Hmm here’s what I’ve got - looks the same as when I click on an individaul bulb in SmartThings? It did take me a couple tries to realize that Colorful Temperature and Color Temperature were different (and I needed the former).
