Sengled Smart LED Daylight A19 Bulb

How do you set up one dimmer to control multiple A19 bulbs. I tried adding them in a group, but they don't show up in the "select bulbs for group". They show up in the "select dimmers for group".
They are setup as a Generic Zigbee Bulb, i'm not sure if this is the problem. They work fine when independently controlling the bulbs
Thanks.

Just select them in the group as dimmers. Bulbs and dimmers are really the same thing interns of functionality.

Update: I just checked one of my Groups of Sengled Color bulbs and they are listed as bulbs. :thinking:

What device type are your bulb set up as?

I changed the device type to "Generic Zigbee CT Bulb" they show up in the "select bulbs for group" now. They still work fine independently, but I'm unable to dim them as a group. I'm using a virtual dimmer to control them. Any ideas on what to try?

When you create a Hubitat "Group", using the Groups and Scenes App, a "Group Device" will be automatically created in your device list with the name of the group that you specified. You do not need to create your own virtual dimmer. Just use the "Group Device" and all of the bulbs in the group will behave as one. Also, in your Group, be sure to enable Zigbee Group Messaging as that will eliminate the 'popcorn effect'.

That worked!! Thanks for the help!

You do realize that these are not CT bulbs correct? You can't modify the color temp of the bulb through HE because they are single temperature bulbs. The correct driver for the Sengled Zigbee bulb would be the Generic Zigbee Bulb driver, not the CT bulb driver. I would advise switching back to the Generic Zigbee Bulb driver to prevent any problems in the future.
