This seems like it would be an easy one to do, but Im not getting it. 

If any of the light switches in the master bath are on, and then any of them change to off, turn them all off..

Do I need to create variable when one goes on?  Im lost. Please help

There are probably opportunities to use scenes here, but below is a programmatic approach.  I made the assumption that there is no harm in turning off switches that were already off.

if

status switch1 is off

or status switch2 is off

or status switch3 is off

or....

then

turn off switch1

turn off switch2

turn off switch3

turn off....

Thanks Oberkc.

I tried that before asking.  That program wont let the lights stay on.  If you turn on any of the lights, it turns it right back off.  I can say it, LOL, but I cant create it.

If any of the lights are on, and either of them changes to off, turn them all off.

This is why it doesn't work. You're looking at the status. If you only turn 1 light on and any of the rest are off, then the program will operate and turn off the lights 

Change status to control and it'll work

If control a is switched off

Or b 

Or c

Or d

Then set all of them off

Yep that was it.  TYVM 

Sorry for the misdirection, @phatmatt.  Thanks to lilyoyo for getting it right.

 

You are also better off creating 1 scene with 4 responders.

That way you can turn that scene off, and they all go off in unison, instead of one at a time in rapid succession ('popcorn effect').

Funny you mentioned that. I noticed them going off one at a time, but hadnt looked into that yet.  Thanks.
