Turn off all lights with one button

Configuration
,
1

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to make a switch on my lovelace dashboard to turn off all lights.
I created a group in my configuration.yaml and it looks like this:

discovery:

# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:

http:
  ssl_certificate: /ssl/fullchain.pem
  ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem
  ip_ban_enabled: true
  login_attempts_threshold: 5

# Text to speech
tts:
  - platform: google_translate

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

deconz:
  host: ip-of-deconz
  port: port-of-deconz

light:
  - platform: group
    name: "Alle Lampen"
    entities:
      - light.0x000d6ffffe06b484 #Kitchen2
      - light.0x680ae2fffe47bf1b #Livingroom1
      - light.0x680ae2fffe65c9f4 #Livingroom3
      - light.0x680ae2fffe69fafd #Livingroom2
      - light.0x84fd27fffe3a0e71 #Diningroom1
      - light.0x84fd27fffe3b7206 #Diningroom2
      - light.0xd0cf5efffef0697f #Kitchen1
      - light.0xec1bbdfffe7f6929 #Bedroom

now I want to make a button on my dashboard which looks like this:

unfortunately this is not working. If I create buttons which turn on/off a single light then this is working without any problems.
What I’m doing wrong here?

What’s in your groups.yaml?

3

My groups.yaml is just an empty file. It’s nothing in there

That’s where you put the groups you’ve defined. Something like this:

kitchen:
  name: Kitchen lights
  entities:
    - light.kitchen_1
    - light.kitchen_2
    - light.kitchen_3

cooker:
  name: Cooker lights
  entities:
    - light.cooker_1
    - light.cooker_2
    
hallway:
  name: Hallway spotlights
  entities:
    - light.hallway_1
    - light.hallway_2
    - light.hallway_3

landing:
  name: Landing spotlights
  entities:
    - light.landing_1
    - light.landing_2
    - light.landing_3

Not if they are using the light group platform, which they are. That goes under light:

It’s working now, thank you!
I don’t really understand why because before I did it exactly like this Light Group - Home Assistant and it didn’t work

Do you have light: in more than one place in your config?

The light group platform definitely works. I’m using it extensively.

light:
- platform: group
  name: Lounge Downlights
  entities:
  - light.lifx_lounge_front_left
  - light.lifx_lounge_front_right
  - light.lifx_lounge_middle_left
  - light.lifx_lounge_middle_right
  - light.lifx_lounge_rear_left
  - light.lifx_lounge_rear_right

I have only the light entry I mentioned above, this is my full configuration.yaml I posted here

I made a entity card with each light/switch listed, as on or off, and at the top beside the header - Titled Light switches- there’s a toggle that turns them all on/off. Seems to be built in, i didn’t code anything to control all the switches, nor did I group anything.

Best solution for me. Header toggle
