I have a ZEN72 controlling my main room light. I also have 2 sconces each controlled with a relay and a virtual switch. So the sconces have no physical switch. But, whenever someone physically presses the light switch, I ALWAYS want all lights to be turned off or turned on. I believe the physical switch should always work. So, I am using the switch bindings app, as you can see in the image.
But, I also have a scene in the evenings that turns off just the main bedroom light and turns on (or leaves on) the scones. However, usually, when I turn off the main light through hubitat (not the physical light switch), it turns off the sconces too. I selected one-way binding though, so I didn't expect that. I am not sure what is going on here. Also, sometimes, if the sconces were not turned on with the physical switch (turned on through hubitat), if I press the physical switch off, the main light turns off, but the sconces don't. I wonder, if the physical switch not sending an event to the hub? Or is this some issue of state not syncing?
I want the physical switch to always turn all lights on or off with button presses. And I don't want any bindings if I directly control a device from hubitat (or via Alexa).
I would use Room Lighting to link the switch to the sconces. You can set it so the switch only activates the RL upon physical taps and ignores digital on/off (either or both if you prefer).
Here is an example below. What I am doing here is when we enter the room, tap the light switch to turn on the desired lights / fan options (set per mode which is optional). The closet would never come on in this setup. When you leave the room you tap the off which would turn off everything.
When going to bed, if the light is turned off via other means (alexa, or my night stand remote, could also be a timed rule) then it does not trigger this RL and only the light will go off, keeping the fan on.
You can ignore the button presses I have setup, you would not need that.
Here is a more simple example where I am controlling relays from a switch just as you are. All Lights and Socket 4 are zigbee relay switches. Socket 4 goes on and off with the main switch. The other lights I have a separate rule to activate but then if I hit the switch off everything will go off.
