Hello,  
I use [AN196](https://www.everspring.com/portfolio-item/11244/) to want to control two sets of relays by main node, or when two sets of relays change status can change main node status too, like this:

 ![S__21111096](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/3/b34bc43099f02a880e467d9d8d47daceef40fd14.jpeg)

My questions below:  
1.Using App to press one of relays can change main node, but press main node can’t change two sets of relays.  
2.Using device to turn on/off, only main node change status, two sets of relays not work, it’s difference problem with App.

My codes below:  
1.device.js:  
‘use strict’;

const {ZwaveDevice} = require(‘homey-zwavedriver’);

class MyZWaveDevice extends ZwaveDevice {  
async onNodeInit() {

```
    //relay 1 and 2
    this.registerCapability('onoff', 'BASIC', {
        report: 'SWITCH_BINARY_REPORT'
    });

    //group
    this.registerCapability('onoff', 'SWITCH_BINARY', {
    });
}

```

}

module.exports = MyZWaveDevice

I’m not sure I fully understand your question, but I think that if you create a virtual device with the [[App] Virtual Devices](https://community.homey.app/t/app-virtual-devices/1723) you can use flows to create the required behaviour for the virtual device.
