Hiho,  
I use a ui-control node to show / hide different groups. That does work like expected on one device.  
If I trigger a "show" or "hide" on the first device while viewing the page on second device it will not work. I tried different options of the ui-control node but that did not help.

If you want to make the changes happen on all browser sessions then delete the msg.socketid property from the message before sending it to the ui-control node.
