New to HA,
End Goal: Turn off the entire house with just one button and have the state of all the lights and switches show as “off” and not as “unavailable” for a more cleaner interface and faster load times.
Problem: When i turn off the switches group it knocks the lights out as “unavailable.” Additional problem, the switches group doesn’t turn off all the lights, so I need to create two groups to control everything.
What I’ve done so far: Created an all lights group and an all switch group
Stuck at how to approach next steps - should I create an automation, scenes off/on, scripts? Easiest future proof way?
