Control multiple lights with one tile

Currently I’m using Hue but don’t think that can be integrated?

There’s a community developed ‘Hue B Smart’ integration that can control a group of Philips Hue lights:

With Hubitat, you can control Hue Groups directly .

SmartThings only exposes the individual lights, so if you control multiple individual lights from a rule you might experience a bit of popcorn effect (each light turning on slightly after the next). For controlling Hue groups in SmartThings, most people like to use the Hue B Smart community developed integration .

Otherwise, I’d generally recommend the Virtual Switch + Smart Lighting approach. It has the benefit of being able to run locally on the hub, so it’s one of the faster approaches. (Hue B Smart is even faster if you are using native Hue Groups as it can take advantage of ‘multicasting’ to tell all the lights to change all at once)
