Hi there, just converted to using hass.io from a previous solution I coded by self using python and openzwave. Mostly has been going well, but I can’t figure out how to replicate one type of behavior that I’ve come to rely on.
In my previous system, I could define a group of devices, lets say all the light switches in the kitchen. Then I would define “on” and “off” behaviors that would manipulate different subsets of lights. For example, “on” for the kitchen may only mean turn on 3 of the switches. But “off” for the kitchen means turn all the lights off.
Is there a built in construct in home assistant that allows me to achieve similar behavior? I use this a lot hooked up to alexa so that I can say “turn on kitchen” to turn on just a subset of the lights, but “turn off kitchen” to turn on everything that was on. The best I could think of was to create a “kitchen on” scene and a “kitchen off” scene, which is a little clunky.
