I need help creating flow for multiple switches.

I have 6 fan switches, zone\_1 - zone\_6, their states are **off** and **fan\_only**.

I wish they could work like this

they are all **off** then go to the next one

either one of them is **fan\_only** go to the other one

Can anyone give me a sample so I can look into it?

thanks!

So I recommend to put all in one object - and translate off to false and fan\_only to true.

If you dont know how to create the object here a complete flow with translations:
