Hi,

Is it possible to group the devices in a zone, in my case 14 ceiling spotlights, to be controlled by one icon on the Home screen/tab?

Thanks in advance.

Not a zone in one icon, but probably you can use the App:

> **[\< group \>](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.swttt.devicegroups/&lt;-group-&gt;/)**
>
> Makes it possible to group devices allowing control and reporting of all devices within a group.

You also can make a sub-zone in a zone and control that as one.

@gary.osullivan for now you could go for:

- the `Lights` widget. If you choose the `multiple` variant, you can add all 14 lights to it and dim and turning them on/off with one widget.
- Create a mood for turning them on and off

I miss the option when add a light widget to manually preset individually lights

Thanks for the quick reply. So can you create new widgets for specific tasks then?

I do. I was just being an idiot. I couldn’t see the widgets! Just need to work out how to create widgets for specific tasks.

Thanks again.
