Hi.  
I'm trying to design a control system based on Node-RED and 20 Philips Hue.  
I want to control them individually via JSON.

From the [documentation]([https://You](https://You) can also apply settings in universal mode to a specific light by transferring the corresponding light ID as a string in msg.topic together with your settings.), I read:

> You can also apply settings in universal mode to a specific light by transferring the corresponding light ID as a string in `msg.topic` together with your settings.

I hoped this may work with the light id too. it doesnt.  
What I'm loogking for is to send a message to all the bulbs with the behaviour of the bulb I want to control.

Any help?
