Hi everyone, Since Homey doesn’t support true Z-Wave multicast, I wanted to work around this by using a Fibaro Double Smart Module. The idea: let the module act as if its S1 input was triggered by a click, which should then activate Association Group 2 and control multiple other nodes at once. Here’s my current setup. ![IMG_5632](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/f/6fca19bd7bd8a5ef21b046469a355c184a28742e.jpeg) Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to work as expected — the associated nodes don’t respond when I try to simulate the S1 action via Homey. The goal: I’d like to control multiple Z-Wave devices (e.g. several lights) at exactly the same time, without the slight delays you get when Homey sends unicast commands one by one. Essentially, I’m looking for a way to replicate multicast behavior. Has anyone tried this before or knows: - Why this approach isn’t working? - Whether there’s another way to trigger Group 2 associations directly from Homey? - Or alternative suggestions for achieving multicast-like behavior on Homey? Thanks in advance! ---
