Questions regarding "evening mode" flow

Flows
1

I’ve made an “evening mode” flow that works well so far. Its main function is to dim all lights using the “set forced brightness” parameter (parameter 19 for Fibaro Dimmer 2). I do have two questions, though:

  1. I have a bunch of Fibaro Dimmer 2, and what I have done so far is to make one flow card for each to set the correct dimming level parameter. This does make for quite a messy flow, though. Is there a way to set a parameter for a bunch of devices at the same time, just like there is a function for, e.g., turning all lights on or off?

  2. I would also like to be able to dim all lights that are currently on but not switch on any that are not. I haven’t found a way to do this. Is there something I’m missing?

For question 1 I believe the group app may help. It has a few quirks and you may have to restart it occasionally but it does allow you to lump a bunch of devices together.

I am not sure what your problem is.
A) you cannot group all lights that are off
B) you cannot dim a light that is off, because it will also switch on
C) you don’t know how to get the status of the light in order to skip all lights that are off in a flow.

For C you can use a logic AND card and select the tag “on/off” of the lamp.

OK, didn’t know about that one. Will take a look, thanks for the tip! :smiley::+1:

Basically C is/was my issue. But now you’ve given me something to work with, thanks! :+1:
