Creating Groups of Devices

Is there a way to create a group of devices that will allow you to call that group in specific instances, while maintaining the autonomy for the individual devices?

For example:

Group Z can be turned off and on to control devices 1,2, & 3.

If I turn on 1, only 1 reacts.

I’ve been creating scenes to do things like this.

So say say turn off “outside lights”, or “reset alexas”, or “game time”, “turn on tv”, things like that and it will control all the devices at once. However then you can still control the devices as individual devices as well obviously.

With alexa though and scences you have to say activate. I’m having an issues right now with Alexa, where I can no longer delete or disable scenes. So once there are in Amazon’s system, they are there forever. Not sure what that is about and Amazon has been zero help. Deleting them from Zooz, makes them no longer function, but they’ won’t disappear from the Alexa app. Just a heads up. Maybe it’s something on Fibaro’s side? (But I doubt it)

Under add device –> other devices –> LINKED DEVICES :smiley: (have to be in the web view not the app)

Thanks for the response. The problem with linking is that you send a command to one, all react. Not quite what I was looking for.

I think I may have found what I need with Scenarios, still playing with it.

I had some other issues when I wanted it to play a playlist. I finally got it to work the way I wanted it to by creating a routine that plays the playlist and I use a vocal cue that doesn’t use the word play or playlist. Makes my life much easier.
