Question

Hello,

I have a simple question. I want to turn on a LIGHT when DOOR or WINDOW is opened.

Should I form the scene as;

1) DOOR is breached *or* WINDOW is breached *then* turn on LIGHT

or;

2) Device Group (Door and Window are selected) is breached * then* turn on LIGHT

The first one works fine. My question is what about the second scene, is it the same as first scene? Or, the LIGHT will turn on if both DOOR and WINDOW are breached together.

Why I ask this question? Because I have totally 30 doors and windows in my house. I want to use Device Group for them, instead of writing all of them one by one.

If I use Device Group, then it will be easy for me to remove or add a window/door later.

Thanks in advance for your kind replies..
