I have a stack of lights inside and outside the house.
Ive created a group for them and use SUM to determine if any 1 of the group is on, this works fine for the individual inside, outside groups.
My question is, now im writing a rule that will switch off everything in the house when I leave - to do this, I used a new group, gAllLights, which has child gInsideLights and gOutsideLights.
For some reason, my state of gAllLights is off, despite gInsideLights being ON.
Keep the existing groups and add the lights to the new group
This way you keep your inside/outside and have the functionality you are looking for
Something about stones and birds comes to mind
Hi Vincent, I think ill just make the lights part of both groups. My network is small, it may be even overkill to do inside and outside groups! Who am i kidding
But I too recommend having the Items be members of both groups instead of setting up a hierarchy. I find that thinking about Groups as sets rather than a hierarchy results in simpler configurations over all.
