As of release v23.01.18, you can now create custom groups of lights (and similar devices) in Brilliant to control them all at once.  

What are Groups?

Groups allow you to control a custom set of multiple lights and similar devices at once through Brilliant.  In particular, any lights, on/off switches (e.g., fans), or smart plugs in your Brilliant home can be added to one or more groups.  Once a group has been created, the group will appear on your Brilliant Control in any of the rooms where the devices in the group are located.

Note on Third-Party Device Groups

Brilliant also supports using device groups that are imported into Brilliant from certain integrated third-party platforms.  However, these third-party device groups are separate from the groups described in this article, which are created and managed entirely within Brilliant and can include devices from different third-party integrations . 

 

Brilliant specifically supports the following third-party device groups:

• Hue Light Zones (see Philips Hue Integration for more information).
• LIFX Light Groups (see LIFX Integration for more information).
• Somfy Shade Groups (see Somfy TaHoma Integration for more information).
• Sonos Speaker Groups (see Sonos Group Management for more information).

 

NOTE: Third-party light groups (e.g., Hue and LIFX) can also be added to a group created in Brilliant.
