I’m thinking there should be a way of saying “if A changed, match B to whatever A is set to” (and the inverse).

(“av” means OFF, “på” means ON)

Use Athom’s new functionality “Group” which groups lights together as one. In your flows you use the group instead of an individual light.  
Go to devices and open settings for one of your lights, and select “Create group”.

To other readers: I couldn’t find this in the web interface, but it’s available in the app!

Next to the app there is also a athom native group functionality. If you only need basic functionality.  
You can read more about it [here](https://community.homey.app/t/new-groups-feature-suggestions-for-improvement/137839). And watch the podcast that is linked int that thread (at around 23:00 min they explain the grouping)

I think @hnrk was referring to Homey’s mobile app, not the [\< group \>](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/com.swttt.devicegroups/%3C-group-%3E/) app I believe you are referring to 😊.

Using the native homey light grouping didn’t sync the on/off state between the lights. I want both my lights to turn on (or off) if I press any of their physical buttons (like my flow does).

I could make a flow like this, though:
