Have smart bulbs follow/mirror wall switch light

In SmartThings I use the smart lighting app mirror function extensively.

For instance if I turn on my ceiling light via the wall switch, I have a few smart bulbs that are in lamps mirror it. Although there's a second or two delay, it works really well to keep the smart bulbs and the physical light in sync in terms of on-off status as well as dimming level.

What's the easiest way to do this in Hubitat? It doesn't look like the smart lighting app has a mirror or follow function.

I use Rule Machine to do this.
I created two triggers, one for when the switch turns on which turns on many lights.
And one that turns them off when the switch turns off.

Then I created a lighting Group from the Groups app which took away the need to call all of the lights individually and I have one place to modify those lights in the group.

There's exactly what I was thinking, too. I'll try that.

There's probably a @Cobra APP for that... :wink:

Last I saw the one to many didn't support dimmers. Does it now?

EDIT: Never mind, I see dimmer support was added in v1.2... Cool. I'll give it a try.

OK, I tried it tonight.

Cobra's "One to Many" app works perfectly for what I am trying to do - on both switches and dimmers.

I might give this a try.
Sometimes my two rule setup gets in an infinite loop.
Somehow...
