Quick way to turn off all lights in a scene

I haven't touched my scenes in a long time (probably 1.5 years), but I remember it was very easy to turn off all the lights in the scene. When I go into the program through 5.3.0, the view looks very different from before. From reading other posts, it appears it is this way to incorporate other devices into ISY.  When I want to turn off all the lights in the scene, is this the best method:

- Go to the scene name
- Go to each device, then at the "on level", click off
-Click Update
- Move to the next device?

 

I have about 90 devices in one scene, so this is a huge pain. I was trying to read old posts, but couldn't find one that answered the question. Is there a way to mass select all devices and set the action from all of them? Is there a better way to accomplish this vs going through each device and clicking off? I have about 6 scenes that I want to do a big mass off for various parts of the house. Seems like this will take me over 3 hours to do what should be like a 5 minute item would be.

Sorry, maybe i wasn't clear.  

 

I have a scene called lower floors off which will turn off the basement and 1st floor. I originally had my 1st floor all set up to turn off, and then added in all my basement devices to that scene.  When I hit a button on a keypad (there are 5 keypad buttons in total that are part that scene), the intended effect is that all lights will turn off. Currently, if I hit the button, the 1st floor will turn, but basement lights will stay on.  

 

Is there a quick way to do, if "1st floor off" is triggered, then turn off all devices attached to that scene?

Did you update the scene AND controller?

The quickest way to do what you're talking about an "all off scene", is to make a standard scene including all the devices as responders.... sending the scene an ON would turn it on, sending the scene and OFF turns it off.  Once that's done, add your KPL button that you want to use as All Off as a controller.  then change the Buttons Toggle Mode for that button to "Non-toggle [off]".   The button will always send OFF and never send ON, so the scene works as "All Off".  There is no need to set each device to the off position in the scene.
