Question

Done a decent amount of research, kinda have an idea on what I need to do. Just had a side idea though. Can I control 4 different lights individually but have a switch turn all 4 on and off? Ex. Walk in room turn switch on all lights go on, sit down, open phone turn 2 lights off.  

Answer 1

Phillips hue lights easily.

My room has 4 recessed lights. Switch can turn on all 4 I use my app or I tell google turn on “wife’s reading light” that turns on the light above her and the other 3 off

Answer 2

You can do this with caseta using Pico remotes

Answer 3

I'm trying to avoid using bulbs, I'd rather use smart switch or inline wifi switch. I thought about sonoff

All mine are comtrolled separatelly but the switch next to my front door has the ability to turn all the others on or off when i arrive or leave the house by double tapping up or down

@confectionery In general, if you have 4 lights controlled by one switch, then they are run in series. (Power goes from the switch to light 1, then 2, 3 and 4) The switch controls whether or not the lights get any power. If the switch is off, then a smart sonoff cannot turn one or more lights on because the sonoff is not getting power. I don’t like using smart lights but this seems to be a case where they are the best solution.  

Answer 4

Number lights 1-4 then set a program when 1 is on turn on all 4, when 1 is off turn off all 4

Answer 5

Name them, I tell mine turn on all lights. Then say turn off Bob.  

Answer 6

It is very easy: you need 1 smart switch (if you want to turn on all at the same time without physical touch of the switch( and 4 smart bulbs. Super easy, strange you did a research and could not answer this simple question,
