Hello all, NOOB question: I just installed the Smartthings hub and a half dozen Cree LED bulbs. So, I’ve got them all “paired” with the hub and can control each individually with no issues. S far, so good. Here is my issue, the dining room and the bathroom lights are in clusters of multiple bulbs…

You might find a solution here [image] Dim multiple dimmers SmartApps & Automations I have a number of items connected to my hub. I have 2 second generation GE dimmers in my master bedroom. I can control each fine from both the new rooms category, but individually. Can onl…

Thanks again JD. I figured out “Routines” and can do pretty much everything I need to (so far) with those so problem solved. Add to that I installed SmartTiles which makes control easier for the whole family.

Hi, Just have a question…I use webcore and I dont have a hub yet (cant find any for now) So I was wondering if its a possibility to base an action on lets say a dim level?
