Can I change my rule so the s.sendComman(OFF) is only active for the Switch Elements?

Yes. Expand the forEach code block and test the Item type before sending commands.Example of this kind of thing

[SOLVED] Reducing the impact of turning off MANY lights? How to optimise

Because it is incomplete. What is an instance of SwitchItem? Once again, in this situation, the complete statement is Lights instanceOf SwitchItem But as discussed that won’t work because it will ignore Dimmer types as well as Group types it finds among the “top” group’s members. No, this what the filtering is about. In the first version of the rule, we used the filter only to find things that are ON. But as you have some things that are Groups that can also be ON, we have to miss those…
