    I have two spotlights which I want to control together. They are not on the same relay so I can't use logic on the channels. I would also like to avoid having to use two buttons on the light switch to have Scene On and Off (or use one button for each light).

    Would an alternative be to use logic in a PAC so that whenever one of the lights is turned on, the other turns on and when one goes off, then other goes off? Is there any alternative?

    Can't you just program them with the same Group Address??

    Am I missing something?

    Cheers

    Sorry - didn't explain very clearly. These spots are also linked to other switches which control them separately so I need a button on Switch 1 to control (say) Spot 1, a button on Switch 2 to control Spot 2 and a button on Switch 3 to control Spots1+2 (as one). I've no spare block assignments on Switch 3 to 'group' the two spots together.

    Use the blocks tab.

    Add the 2nd GA then tick the box to map that GA to the button you also want to control.

    The box will then indicate <multiple>
