How can I create one button in the smartthings app that triggers multiple events on a group of devices?

@Phorvath - create a virtual switch tile and use it with “The Big Switch” SmartApp.

Note: The following assumes you have already setup IFTTT within SmartThings.
Step 1 - Use the SmartThings IDE to add a virtual switch tile.
In the IDE go to “My Devices”
Click the “+ New Device” button
On the “Create Device” screen, give it a name (e.g. “Master
Switch”), a device network ID (e.g. “MasterSwitch”), set the Type to
"On/Off Button Tile" and set the Location to the appropriate
location from the drop down list, then click the “Create” button.
Step 2 - Allow IFTTT to use the new virtual switch
In the SmartThings app on your phone, from the Dashboard go to
"SmartThings Internal" and tap the IFTTT tile.
When the IFTTT app opens, open the “Which Switches” option and
tick the entry against the virtual switch you created in step 1.
Step 3 - Connect your virtual switch to…
I see how that works to turn a light on or off, but how can I dim the light or group?
