Dim all lights that are currently on?

[sperok]

Is there an easy way to dim all the lights that are currently on?

 

It would be great to have a scene containing all of my interior lights and to be able to use a simple control to dim all the lights within the scene that are currently at some level of on.

 

Is there an easy way to do this, other than testing every light?

Try something like this:

 

Put all your interior lights in a scene call "Interior All Lights" and then add a program such as:

 

If
  - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition')

Then
       Repeat 5 times
          Set Scene 'Interior All Lights' Dim

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

Running the THEN branch of the above program will reduce the level of all lights in the scene by about 15%. If the lights are off, they stay off.

Unfortunately that will have the effect of turning on lights that are currently off. My goal is to be able to adjust ONLY the lights within the scene that are already on.

Hello sperok,

 

I do not think kingwr's suggestion is going to turn ON the lights that are already off. Sending Dim commands to devices that are already off has no impact.

 

With kind regards,

I did test this and it works. The lights in the scene that are off remain off.
