I am going to see if I can build an even better, slicker version of this using UI Builder, but I wanted to show what I was able to accomplish, with some elaborations: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/a/e/aee8ccb13ae79b4d429a9caaea5dc0348dc45a91.png) - Note that this whole tab shows off how I can hide that there are different types of lights controlled in different ways. - Power section has switch for each light and a single switch for all. The only drawback is that the All switch will remain off when lights are turned on individually. - The Z2M triggers certain effects that are built into Zigbee2MQTT. - The Brightness Controls allow for individual and group brightness control. - The Brightness Up, Down, Stop allows me to start shifting all lights from either the brightest level toward 100% or the lowest level of any of the bulbs to 1%. The speed of that shift is based on taking the brightness Change Duration and then using that for the time from 1% to 100%. Thus if the bulbs are at 50% and the brightness up button is selected and the brightness change duration is 2 seconds, then the bulbs will take 1 second to get to 100%. I allow the duration to range from 0 to 25 seconds, though in practice 1 second doesn't work well. - Additionally, since the bulbs actually respond in non-identical ways, they don't stay in perfect synch. As a result, the stop button, picks the average of where they are when it is clicked and then move all of them to that value over 2 seconds which is invisible to my eye but much more aesthetically pleasing on the dashboard. - The color wheel lets me select a color request that is sent to both color bulbs and then transition over the specified time. I will however note that every vendors color bulb differs on what colors are rendered well. Unfortunately I have not found one that does have major weaknesses somewhere in the range. (In addition to the ikea and innovelli I have here, I have also experimented with a hue bulb.) Thus though they both are going to the same color, in many cases the results differ. - The color temperature does the same to adjust any color temp bulb to the desired temperature. - One note on this, I stumbled across some javascript that works really well at sending xy color values to the Ikea color bulb to get various color temperature outputs. - This is similar to the Game Room only it has an added fan control ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/e/b/eb0f9abdbf830535c4a3f9a57c41a36fe945e6ee.png) - Eva's Room is similar to the other rooms, but it also has a series of buttons to trigger various LED effects on an Inovelli LZW36 combination Light/Fan controller via Hubitat ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/4/e/4e65c27ae0a89f73e5601549f75af70490c410b8.png) - The power section is very similar. The 2 items are: - Table Lamp is a TP-Link LB100 via Hubitat - Corner is a standard bulb controlled by an Ikea switch via Hubitat - The input selection allows choosing a Harmony activity via node-red-contrib-harmony-websocket node - Similarly all of the TV and Soundbar controls do Harmony remote actions via node-red-contrib-harmony-websocket ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/f/e/fe815ef403605187cac7e25c3996e160e5da473a.png) The Thermostat tab displays and controls 2 thermostats. - Upstairs is a Honeywell T6 Pro (Z-wave plus) via Hubitat - Downstairs is a Lennox iComfort via Hubitat ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/9/a/9ae3488c8f6dd8b213e14524090806172d60232e.png) The Other Controls are all Ikea switches 2 via Hubitat 1 via Zigbee2MQTT. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/c/0/c08c90b32d59c98b0236463029edd5a18b5d983c.png) I am not really satisfied with this dashboard as you can see some missing data and some areas that don't show the history I am trying to show. Here are the types of devices sending in data: - Konke ZigBee Temperature Humidity Sensors via Hubitat - The 2 Thermostats - Nest Protect motion sensors via Homebridge - Ikea motion sensor via Zigbee2MQTT - Eve motion sensor via Apple Home via Homebridge - Aeon Multisensor 6 via Hubitat - Fire 7 tablet motion sensing via Fully Browser Kiosk - Harmony Hub via node-red-contrib-harmony-websocket node - Inovelli LZW36 combination Light/Fan controller via Hubitat for Energy and Power - Aqara Wall Switch Double relay (LLKZMK11LM) via Hubitat - Aqara Vibration Sensors via Hubitat - Monoprice Z-wave plus (not actually powered on at the moment) contact senor via Hubitat - TP-Link LB100 comms error reading via Hubitat ---

Wow, that's a lot of different devices! I look forward to seeing what you do with uibuilder. 😄 ---
