IFTTT Newbie
I've got a few smart devices in the home. Nest thermostat, Ring doorbell, and now Philips Hue lights. So I am now trying out IFTTT to make these things talk to each other. But I've pretty quickly run into an issue. Maybe there are more advanced settings I haven't found, or there's just not a good way to do it, but this seems pretty basic.
The setup is this, easy: If my nest detects I'm home, then turn on the light.
But... IFTTT only seems to let you choose either one bulb or all of them. Is there no way to group bulbs or (select multiple ones) that are part of the same light fixture, such that the whole ceiling light comes on and not just one bulb in it? Or do you have to set up the identical recipe for each bulb in the fixture you want to come on? The latter is the only way I see how to work around this.
