How to group color bulbs

[penicillinman]

I just purchased three sengled element plus bulbs for my room which Has dimmer setting as well as color setting. I would like to be able to group these into one so that if I change the color on one bulb, they would all change together. Is there a way of doing so ?

Yes. You can create a virtual switch and mirror behavior with smart lighting.
Details can be found here:

Smart Lighting - Mirror Behavior!

I just discovered the Mirror Behavior option in the Smart Lightning SmartApp. I’ve been waiting for that feature forever. When was it added? Created a Virtual Dimmer and assigned the 6 dimmers in my kitchen to it using the Smart Lighting app and presto, can dim, on, off all lights with a single dimmer.

I did find that earlier but it does not mirror the color/temperature change of lights

the Virtual Device switch did not work for my Osram BR30 RGBW light bulbs. I am trying to set up 3 groups and coordinate their colors as well of course. Mirror Behavior did Not mirror color temp. What worked is Smart Light things (Mirror behavior to Master) + Color Coordinator app so for 3 groups you would have to do 6 set ups. It’s a bit inconvenient but those lights are crazy dirt cheap now on Amazon 4 for $20 as the Osram platform is getting phased out… Disclaimer, I am an official noobie to Smartthings programming

Trend Setter - A SmartApp for grouping devices Read First I am not usually one for releasing stuff I write because I am my own worst critic and usually self destruct before putting anything out into the general public (I’ve revised this post more times than I’d like to count). I am trying to change that behaviour… Although I am a software engineer by trade, I am not a Java/Groovy developer so I may not have written some of the code in the most efficient way. I expect this to change from feedback and as my knowledge grows. I tend to find I use the app to control a lot of things more than anything else so this is useful for that. I have only used this on an Android phone and can’t be sure how it’ll behave on an iOS device due to the parity issues between Android and iOS apps so give no g…
