Light bulb customization to slider and automation

Configuration Frontend
1

Hi
i have a question / problem. in my room i have 4 lights (each as seperate knx channel), now i want to have one slider that will dimm the light of 4 elements.
at this moment i have created a number input as slider and add there some automation rule. but the problem is when i switch off the lights from a wall panel then i don’t have update in my HA interface.

is this possible to have somthing like this:
one slider with switch on right side example

and functionality like:
if i play with this slider i controll all 4 lights, if i use the switch on right side then for example it will be off = 0%, on = 50%. and if i click at the name then i get the detail popup with 4 sliders (each slider will be 1 lamp)?

Check out this custom Lovelace card. It does exactly what you need without the need for added input numbers and updates with the light automatically.

Except this:

For that you will need to replace the light group control more info card with a pop-up card:

but in case of using the switch on right side of slider i have still problem :confused:
i have something like this

but at switching it is not running, if i change to toogle then it’s running but what about state (on - last value / off - 0)

second question. if i have the switch to off and slide something then the light is reacting on it but the switch has off state. if i turn it on then if i have some value on slider then he goes to 0.

That must be a problem with the knx component. This does not happen with my Lifx lights. Moving the slider from zero turns on the toggle switch. Likewise moving the slider to zero turns off the toggle switch.

it’s in the file lights.yaml.
this is the light group or ?

I was mistaken, just ignore my post. Early morning brain fart.
