Can we group pistons? Like bulbs, audio devices or switches

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I am setting up a 911 switch. Everything turns OFF if 911 switch is ON.
I have about 40 pistons and I want to PAUSE them all.

2) What is the expected behavior?
I can do it one by one but I was wondering just like sensors or bulbs, if there is a way of creating DEVICE group or Piston group just to pause and resume all desired pistons in one go.

3) What is happening/not happening?

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the pistonimage
(UPLOAD YOUR IMAGE HERE)

5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)
(PASTE YOUR LOGS HERE BETWEEN THE MARKS THEN HIGHLIGHT ALL OF THE LOGS SND CLICK ON THE </> ICON TO FORMAT THEM)

You can create a separate instance of webcore and place all the pistons in it that you want to manage. Then you can open your ST app and go to Automation: SmartApps: that instance of WC, click on settings and select Disable all Pistons.

OK, this may not be what you are looking for, but if you really want to prevent ALL pistons from running, you can simply unplug your SmartThings hub. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
(I wonder if blocking the ST hub in your router would do the same thing)

If unplugging sounds appealing, I bet most Smart Outlets (from any brand except Samsung) could have the ST hub plugged into it, and be triggered by Amazon Alexa.

EDIT:
I found two Smart Outlets for $13.50 that would do the trick:


(Keep in mind these do NOT work with ST hub or webCoRE, but they can kill power to a ST hub using Alexa)
